About the song
Yojiro Noda noted that it took tremendous effort to create a song and that it brings importance to the world of a person and his partner [4] . As in previous releases of the group, the song title has a pun. The word "yuushinron" ( 有神論 有神論 Yu: sinron ) means theism , faith in the gods, but the second kanji , god ( 神 ) , is replaced by the homonymous heart ( 心 ) .
Side “B” of the single, the song “Jennifer Yamada-san”, was the first song released by Misoshiru's group , side project RADWIMPS [5] .
Criticism Reviews
In a review of What's In? it was noted that the lyrics are something that can only be heard by RADWIMPS, as well as the fact that the lyrics have a lot of resonance. The author of the review believed that the melody “can touch the strings of your soul” [6] . In the CDJournal review, it was noted that the song has a “quick transition to a less genre sound” because of the rap elements in the bridge , and also because of the acoustic start of the song. The reviewer described the words of the song as “full of wit,” and the melody “wavy” [7] .
