You can never let it go! (Never Ever!) You can never let it go! (Never Ever!) Get Ready, Go! 一度決めたらただ自分の道を ひたすら行け 迷うこともあるかもしわないが その先には壮大な希望と それ以上の不安きっと心にあるだろう 自身をなくしてしまう時には 始めた頃の気持ち思い出して (Show me what you do) Don't let it go! 引き返す道はない 自分の力を信じて 行くしかないのさ 全てをかけてでも あきらめるなんてことは 死んだ時にでもすればいい その日が来るまで Never ever let it go! You can never let it go! (Never Ever!) You can never let it go! (Never Ever!) Get Ready, Go!

You've got to just follow the path you've chosen Once you've decided on it, even though you might get lost along the way All you know is you're sure to encounter Magnificent hopes and great unease When you've lost your will to go on Just remember the feelings you had when you started out (Show me what you can do) Don't let it go! You can't redo life, So believe in your own strength You have to keep going, even when everything's in the balance You can only Give up when you die So, until that day comes, never let it go!

Long Version
Japanese
You can never let it go! (Never Ever!) You can never let it go! (Never Ever!) Get Ready, Go! 一度決めたらただ自分の道をひたすら行け 迷うこともあるかもしれないが その先には壮大な希望と それ以上の不安きっと心にあるだろう 自信をなくしてしまう時には 始めた頃の気持ち思い出して (Show me what you do) Don't let it go! 引き返す道はない 自分の力を信じて 行くしかないのさ 全てをかけてでも あきらめるなんてことは 死んだ時にでもすればいい その日が来るまで Never ever let it go! 思い通りにいかないこともある そんな時も前を向いて歩いてゆけばいい その状況の変化にもまれ思い悩み やめることも考えることだろう 現実の壁にぶつかったとしても 始めた時の勇気奮起こせ (Show me your spirt) Don't let it go! 惑わされることはない 自分のを信じて 行くしかないのさ 全てをかけてでも あきらめるなんてことは 死んだ時にでもすればいい その日が来るまで Try again and again! 自信をなくしてしまう時には 始めたころの気持ち思い出して Don't let it go! 引き返す道はない 自分の力を信じて 行くしかないのさ 全てをかけてでも あきらめるなんてことは 死んだ時にでもすればいい その日が来るまで Never ever let it go! You can never let it go! (Never Ever!) You can never let it go! (Never Ever!) Get Ready, Go! |

Song Production Information
Ucchies
I'm Tomoyuki from Ucchies, who's participating in IIDX with this exciting remix.
Don't let it go is a song we always perform live, but it's too relaxing as it is, so I made it in a loud, smooth, and crunchy sound which seems fun to play. I think it's a very great song. I'm also in charge of the background chorus in the start of the intro "You can~♪". Huh, if you want to hear it longer~, OK, come to one of our live shows.
Composition - Tomoyuki
When I was told that this song has a cheerful feeling, it expanded my image.
My favorite phrase is "Don't let it go", which is also the song's title, and it feels like I completed these lyrics by expanding this phrase. It has various meanings, but it means "don't give up" in this song.
I sing "let's do our best without giving up until the end".
To those chasing your dreams, and devote themselves to something, by all means, please listen to this song.
Lyrics - Hiroyuki
Video Production Information
F-FLY
Kyoto, or Okinawa, or... I used a large volume of materials taken from when I went to those places.
I tried making a Japan-centered video, since I thought the Japan footage suited it.
I used a nature & sky motif to show a refreshing and clear early summer in Japan.
This time, I used a production technique called VJ style production, which lets a designer start working before a song is finished. If you fully stock up on short videos like a VJ and the song is later finished, you have choices from the stock to turn into a movie. That's how I created this movie.
