The title, a Japanese phrase meaning “the premonition of love,” reflects the record’s themes of inevitability, tension, and emotional depth. With tracks like Swerve City, Tempest, and Rosemary, the album balances aggression and serenity, standing as a testament to the band’s evolution and mastery of contrast.
