This song was written soon after Oni moved into Tokyo. If "call" represents the darker side of her world, "We can go" seems to show an instance of her optimism at the other extreme. But don't get deceived by the sweet facade. Although agreeable to the ear, this number is more complex than it appears.

The text for this song is full of twists none but Oni would opt to sing such as "I do wish those perfect things wouldn't prevail all over the place" and "before brilliant things can affect us two".

Still, this tune rings much more positive compared with the rest of her repertoire.
