Lyrics

Japanese

Catch Me!  Can't I make you love me? 
溶け合う夢に さらわれていくの 
Catch Me!  Can't I make you love me? 
感じたままに 今は 

あの日からわかっていたの 
あなたには求めないわ 
掴みかけた夢の続きを 
追いかけるつもりね 好きにすればいいわ 
ゆっくりと吹き抜ける 夏色の風に 
深くアツイ想いを 忘れないで 

Catch Me!  Can't I make you love me? 
溶け合う夢に さらわれていくの 
Catch Me!  Can't I make you love me? 
感じたままに 今は

Romaji

Catch me! Can't I make you love me?
toke au yume ni sarawarete iku no
Catch me! Can't I make you love me?
kanjita mama ni ima wa

ano hi kara wakatte ita no
anata ni wa motomenai wa
tsukami kaketa yume no tsuzuki wo
oi kakeru tsumori ne suki ni sureba ii wa
yukkuri to fuki nukeru natsu iro no kaze ni
fukaku atsui omoi wo wasurenaide

Catch me! Can't I make you love me?
toke au yume ni sarawarete iku no
Catch me! Can't I make you love me?
kanjita mama ni ima wa

English

Catch me! Can't I make you love me?
Am I being carried away by dreams that are melting together?
Catch me! Can't I make you love me?
Now, just the way I feel it is...

I knew it from that day
That you wouldn't find it
I'm going to chase after a dream
I wanted to catch before, so do what you want
A summer wind slowly blows through
These hot, deep memories I won't forget

Catch me! Can't I make you love me?
Am I being carried away by dreams that are melting together?
Catch me! Can't I make you love me?
Now, just the way I feel it is...

Song Production Information

DJ Yoshitaka

Among the songs included in IIDX which have sped up with the times, I created "Catch Me" with an emphasis on groove rather than speed.
This song mainly contains a "heavy beat" and "lag", which is said to be both "powerful" and "light", and respects the "birthed patterns" and "slices" of UK groove instead of US groove. UK artists started with "New Jack Swing" in the early days, and have since released many beats to the world like "Ground Beat" and "Acid Jazz", which strongly shocked me when I was still young. And that's probably why I labeled it as "Acid Jazz",,,,, but it's sung in Japanese, hahaha.

Well, a 4-beat scratch section appears throughout "Catch Me" from the second half of the chorus. A drum loop is assigned to the scratch sounds here, so the beats overlap when you get a PERFECT GREAT. This technique is often used by DJs to connect these kinds of songs to the next song, which involves starting the next song's opening beat to the current song on the dancefloor, while smoothly and boldly shifting to it. "Catch Me" simulates that technique, so it actually shifts to another song after the chorus ends.
So! To all IIDX scratchers across Japan!
Please let these 4-beat scratch sections shine stylishly to liven up the dancefloor!!

※It's very unfortunate, but you won't be able to experience this on Normal,,,

ERi

Nice to meet you all! I'm ERi★ This is my first time participating in the IIDX series.
"Catch Me" has a DJ Yoshitaka-like fashionable ClubSound, with subtle DJ techniques shining everywhere, which I also enjoyed singing♪
My favorite point is where the two songs overlap in the song's second half.
The thickness of that sound is a somewhat indescribable key point☆
By all means, I hope everyone can experience a DJ mood with this song!
I'd also be happy if you enjoy my singing.

This is a masterpiece by DJ Yoshitaka, the most handsome sound person. It's very fashionable. And cool.
I repeatedly listened to it many times during work. The Vo. ERi is beautiful and quiet, but her strong singing voice provides a clear sensation when you're tired from work.
Even so, Yoshitaka is always energetic and cheerful, with a polite personality.
In addition, he's handsome.
He can play any kind of music. He's the strongest handsome man. He has the power to create great songs while being very super busy with pro wrestling. Let's follow his example! That's determination!
