The title track is the Japanese version of Xin·Zhan: Red Cliff, the theme song of the Chinese film Red Cliff (Part I) which was released in Japan on November 1, 2008. A slightly longer end roll version was included in the film's original soundtrack album released in Japan. A different version of the song is used to promote the video game Dynasty Warriors 6: Special Edition (PS2). This edition later appeared as a special bonus track when people preordered her debut album "Voice of Earth" from Tower Records.
