Here is a hot comment from Seya Yamasaki of "Kyusonekokami" about the opening song.

Comments】 ※Titles omitted
Daigo, who was influenced by his father and had special expectations from the people around him, but realized that his abilities were mediocre, and we, Kyusonekokami, who have been reminded in the music scene that we are not a mass of musical talent... I felt a great overlap between them. I felt there was a great overlap between the two. But in the end, talent and destiny are words that are made up after the fact by other people's evaluations....
Therefore, I would like those who cannot face their dreams or what they want to do because they are bound by the pessimism of "What if I can't do it well? I put such feelings into this song.
(Vo./Gt. Seya Yamasaki)
