Comment from Maeda Jun in the album:
When this song was made, the theme song and the opening song were separate. The theme song conveyed the world view in teasers and the like, and the opening song was the first vocal song played in the game. After many twists and turns, the plan to have an in-game opening was scrapped, but a catchy song like an anime opening was needed at the time. My songs are often said to be the kind of songs that have to grow on you (so you have to listen to them a couple of times to appreciate them), but during the creation of this particular song, my goal was to create a melody that would draw you in after just one listen. I thought I had achieved that to some extent, so after writing this song I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders because I could always rely on this song. The way "nani wo ieba tsutawaru ka na modokashii na kono koi wa" ("What can I say to let you know how I feel? This love is so frustrating") is sung is powerful yet lovely, and it makes you want to listen to it over and over again. It made me want to try to get more of that kind of vocal performance out of Nagi-san.
