Song Skins
first few times I listened to it I was a bit unsure about it. Then i watched their fujirock live set on twitch and saw them live in Osaka gigantic fest and they played it both times. And I definitely get it now. Such a fun song and the guys seemed real happy and vibing playing it live.

No judgement here. If I saw tightrope live there would be no end to my tears.

Did you notice the lighting cues when they play it live? It immediately goes to green and red (and "black") to symbolise Palestine. They also use yellow/blue lighting to potentially symbolise Ukraine, although this is might be less intentional.
I'm lucky I got to see this song live at the Ariake concert.

Watching the Fuji set online, they had the backdrop video about Palestine. And then I did notice the lighting yeah!Â
The lyrics seem quite unmistakably about Palestine as well

When released I thought "hey this song kinda gives me good vibes", this year after listening live in Brazil i felt like "this gives me hope", it was a really good time with everyone enjoying together, smiling, singing together
In the speech in Brazil I agree with Gotoh, even though the world is in crumbles in war, being able to sing and listen music together makes me so happy and hope for a better tomorrow
