UNMASK aLIVE's long-awaited new single captures the full diversity of the band in just one minute and thirty-three seconds.

A fresh fusion of POP PUNK and J-ROCK emerges through a wildly unpredictable, roller-coaster-like progression. Packed with everything that defines UNMASK aLIVE right now, this track showcases the band at their current peak - a band that has become an essential presence in Japan's live house scene and one of the most talked-about acts today.

For the mixing, the band enlisted Mike Green, known as "Mr. POP PUNK" for his work with artists such as Paramore and Sum 41, as well as Japan's MONOEYES. Mastering was handled by Kris Crummett, whose credits include Knuckle Puck, Mayday Parade, and Real Friends.

With a world-class production team behind it, this release is set to make a major impact on the future of Japan's POP PUNK scene.
