* Mumei was initially overwhelmed by the sheer creative freedom she had in Hololive. When developing her first original song [[A New Start]], the demos brought back to her by Cover were not quite what she envisioned, but she did like them and decided to move forward with them anyway. After the song was released, she realized she could reach out directly to specific producers that were closer to the style of music she enjoyed rather than relying on Cover's interpretation of her requests. This inspired her to reach out to TKN for her second original song.<ref>(Oct. 10, 2023). Retrieved from https://youtu.be/0pkv5gh5Dhg?t=1028</ref>
** Mumei has been a fan of TKN's work for a while, discovering him during a time where she got really into Vocaloid EDM. She has a strong appreciation for many of the niche artists she discovered at that time, and was grateful for the opportunity to give him more exposure through Hololive.<ref>(Oct. 10, 2023).

* Mumei decided to make the song Japanese because she felt having TKN write and compose the song in his native language would be more natural for him. When the first draft came back featuring the wordplay around "Mumei", she felt confident it was the right choice.<ref>(Oct. 10, 2023). Retrieved from https://youtu.be/0pkv5gh5Dhg?t=1413</ref>
* The first draft of the lyrics and the melody were very different from what would become the final song (although they did already contain the wordplay around the name "Mumei"). However, they surprised Mumei with how deep they were, and the themes present had a major influence on the direction the song would ultimately take.<ref>(Oct. 10, 2023).

* The song's development took a year.<ref>(Oct. 10, 2023). Retrieved from https://youtu.be/0pkv5gh5Dhg?t=1355</ref> She cited her lack of confidence singing in Japanese and health issues with a persistent cough as being the major reasons for the delay. This was exacerbated by the song becoming more and more important to her over the course of its development, which caused her to become anxious that her Japanese wasn't good enough to do it justice.<ref>(Oct. 10, 2023). Retrieved from https://youtu.be/0pkv5gh5Dhg?t=1551</ref>
** However, the delays due to her health also gave TKN more time to develop the lyrics and the melody of the song, which resulted in the finished version that was ultimately released.
