The title track was written by lyricist Hiromi Mori, composed by The Alfee guitarist Toshihiko Takamizawa, and arranged by Keiichi Ueno. It served as second ending theme (episodes 13-30) for the TV Tokyo anime Hikaru no Go. CDJournal described the song as a "catchy and reminiscent of The Alfee circa 1980s" and praised Mizuki's "upbeat" vocals.[1] The single also includes a remix of "Hitomi no Chikara" and the B-side "Subete wa Kaze no Naka de," written and produced by Seikou Nagaoka.

gollark: You can probably just use regular spiders and most people will run away, honestly.
gollark: It's probably mostly nonlethal, cheap *and* a very good deterrent!
gollark: So fire spiders into crowds? Interesting idea.
