{{Blockquote|In the 1990s, I chose Weekly Shonen Jump because I wanted to grow up. I read while skipping school. Before I knew it, more than 20 years have passed. My favorite series, Jujutsu Kaisen, describes the city I grew up in, the city where ALI was born, Shibuya, in the craziest way.
The joy of being involved as ED song with the best characters. I wrote the song while expressing my gratitude over the years for being raised by Jump. hope you enjoy it.|Leo{{Cite web|url=https://spice.eplus.jp/articles/273841|title=TVアニメ『呪術廻戦』オープニングはEve エンディングテーマはALIに決定 コメントも到着|publisher=Spice|date=August 11, 2020|accessdate=April 1, 2023|language=ja}}}}
