Lyrics

Japanese

Love or Truth This is what I prove between me & you
Love or Truth whichever you choose it's for me & you

Baby don't fade away
変わらないものは 何もないから
流れのままに 受け止めようよ
Take it as you wish to be 言葉にならない
恋もあるから
Love or Truth

覚えてるか? when I used to dance with the devil
どういった風の吹き回し、なぜそう…
あらくれ、帰りは夜中、寝付き 起きれば
日が暮れ、気まぐれ、愛されてた自覚ねえ
You used to fascinate me
理想のイメージ、when you sang for me
綺麗に、but lately ろくに逢ってない
been having sleepless nights
裏切った 期待
何を求めてたのか、wanted to be one of the
まさか、と言わせる men to be
気付けば、乱れた姿
君に耳貸さなかった、俺悪かった
冷たくなるばかり、直接責めずに
侮辱し合う日々が続き
you know the way you and I gotta be
振り回されるなよ 言葉に

Baby words get in the way
いつか懐かしい 景色に出会って
思い出したら やさしくなれる
Then you'll realize & see 愛と真実は
ひとつになれる

Romaji

Love or Truth This is what I prove, between me & you
Love or Truth whichever you choose, it's for me & you

Baby, don't you fade away
kawaranai mono wa nani mo nai kara
nagare no mama ni uketomeyou yo
Take it as you wish to be kotoba ni naranai koi mo aru kara
Love or Truth

oboeteru ka? When I used to dance with the devil
dou itta kaze no fukimawashi naze sou...
ara kure kaeri wa yonaka netsuki okireba
hi ga kure kimagure ai sareteta jikaku nee
You used to fascinate me
risou no IMAGE when you sang for me
kirei ni but lately roku ni atte nai
been having sleepless nights
uragitta kitai
nani wo motometa no ka wanted to be one of the
masaka to iwaseru man to be
kitsukeba midareta sugata
kimi ni mikasanakatta ore warukatta
tsumetaku naru bakari chokusetsu semezu ni
bujoku shiau hibi ga tsuzuki
You know the way, you & I gotta be
furimawasareru na yo kotoba ni

Baby, words get in the way
itsuka natsukashii keshiki ni deatte
omoidashitara yasashiku nareru
Then you'll realize & see ai to shinjitsu wa
hitotsu ni nareru

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

When I first heard this song, I was really impressed by the sound's beauty.
I've been a personal fan of m-flo since their indie days, and I think this song is one of their best among them.
When creating the game data, our top priority was to not ruin the song's beauty, so I remember struggling a lot to make the sound as good as possible.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

Despite being under endless camera flashes and intense press coverage, LISA continues to silently walk past them.
While passing by each other in the middle of the corridor, TAKU just stared at them with his lonely eyes, without being chased or noticed by anyone.
This is one of the many m-flo music videos included in the IIDX series, but unlike the others, this was created as a drama which feels like a very serious situation.
This elegant and high quality movie, which develops slowly, alongside with the song, makes you feel like something is pulling at your heartstrings.
