Comment from Maeda Jun in the album:
From the intro to the verse, the key changes in a weird way. Izumi, Tojo, Aikawa and Kunimi sing together in the intro and outro. They started doing this with "Arifureta Battle Song," and it looks great in the music videos. When recording, Suzuki Konomi-san records first, after which XAI-san records the rest. Recently, however, Suzuki-san has been doing a second take, saying that she wants to try again while taking XAI-san’s nuances into account. Like Suzuki-san said herself, if we had a studio where they could both record at the same time, they could consider each other's performance and decide on their own approach in real time. But that's out of our reach right now. I hope we can record in a place like that one day.
