I didn't know anything about 'Love Psychedelico' but I had known this group through this monsterous song 'Last smile'. By the way I abruptly recalled this song through my personal experience these days. Actually I heard it for the first time in many years ago.

It is even hard for ordinary Japanese to understand the meaning of lyrics. Many people didn't notice but last here means really the last moment of someone's life. Her lover passed away only leaving the last smile. She didn't know what to do after this bolt out of the blue event. I dare not to mention what was the cause of his death.

'Go on a trip' 'that world' are a euphemism for death. Her fluctuating emotion sheds light on the entire tone in this song, that made it one of the most popular songs.

Her unreliable lover was gone for good and as a matter of course, she overcame and became a very powerful singer after this unusual event.
