This song features the unit, Caldeira feat.Kanako Hoshino!? It was made by them.

TOMO-chin, who endlessly loves Brazil, said while drinking espresso, "I seriously love Brazil.... ha..", so I say, while drinking my café au lait with 90% added milk, "I also love Brazil", and that was the moment this song was born.<br>
TOMO-chin, who loves Brazil more than anybody I know, said while drinking espresso, "I seriously love Brazil.... ha..", so I replied "I also love Brazil", while drinking my café au lait with 90% added milk, and that was the moment this song was born.<br>
The sound of its birth was so loud that I covered my ears and said, "isn't this seriously similar to Gian's singing", and then TOMO-chin sadly shook his head...

This is an ambitious song by a duo who deeply loves Brazil, who blasted the backing track late at night, and sung the melody out loud while thinking up the melody.<br>

I'm in the completely opposite end of the endlessly fashionable position, and with my poor fashionable knowledge, I learned about various cultures, and spent the entire day intently listening to the song while thinking about it.<br>
