Another remixed and remastered track from the album 「健忘症」 (Kenboushou) arrives to digital services on May 26, 2023.

「高速」 (Kousoku) is loosely inspired by the NOVA television special based on physicist Brian Greene’s book The Elegant Universe. The lyrics take a basic understanding of theoretical physics and asks how it can affect destiny, all set to a pair of guitars and a New Wave beat.

The single precedes the reissue of 「健忘症」, slated for a fall 2023 release.
