The song\u0026#39;s guitar, bass, and programming were handled by Ryutaro Fujinaga of Elements Garden, with lyrics and composition by Yoshikatsu Shuto of KEYTALK. The piece describes the song as clearly KEYTALK-style, with solid guitar riffs and dynamic rhythm patterns. \u0026#39;Sunfaded\u0026#39; is noted for nearly drowning out the voice of Hiro Shinozawa.
