The concept of the track revolves around tuna sashimi, one of Japan's most beloved cuisines. Hiroaki also incorporated a 900-year-old Japanese haiku into the lyrics. Here is the explanation of Remy Evilpanda: " The song was about Tuna Sashimi, one of Japan's most loved cuisine. To have a Japanese artist appear in a Japanese-Food-related Thrash Metal Song, written by songwriters from Singapore and Thailand was a great honor indeed. Just when I thought the honor cannot be higher, Hiroaki San took the trouble to research and found a 900 year old Japanese Haiku as his lyric for the guest appearance. I am beyond stoked. "[41][42]
