Lyrics

For-for-fo-fo-fo-for you...

I'll tell you how I'm feeling
My heart's so floral and so free
Begin a dream that's happy
So hang on a shot of morphine

It's good to say goodbye to my fate
I want you to know
I'm ready to be happy
So it's my turn
I need to say...

LAST MESSAGE FOR YOU
You don't have to love me,
Can't you see I'm done with you?
LAST MESSAGE FOR YOU
I can't take it no more
I don't want you anymore!

(You think you're so smart...)
(All your hair and make-up...)

For-for-fo-fo-fo-for you...

Song Production Information

good-cool

To be honest, I have never been a big fan Eurobeat, especially since the '90s. I don't know why.
That's why I couldn't make a great Eurobeat song. I felt like I was being forced to make it. I don't know why.
But one day, I really loved Eurobeat after a certain occasion. I don't know why.
Then, I was able to create Eurobeat in this form. No, I asked for TAKA's permission to allow me to create it. I don't know why.
I'm sure from now on, Eurobeat will continue to be one of my favorite music in the future. I don't know why.
From now on, I feel that I can continue making Eurobeat music without losing my identity. I don't know why.
Everyone, by all means please support this song called "Last Message". Because it's a memorable song in which I overcame a wall!!

Meg

Hello♪ It's been a year since still my words.
When I received the demo and lyrics from good-cool, my first impression was "amazing!".
And during the recording, I also sang in a rather~ powerful mode (laughs).

Video Production Information

good-cool

The vocalist for this song is Meg, who you may know from "still my words".
Isn't she showing off her cute vocals, which are perfect for Eurobeat?
I was able to work on the movie for this song, and I had no choice but to have the beautiful Meg herself appear in the movie... so I tried to make it with a video clip style.
As it was specifically Euro, I wanted to include an original ParaPara dance no matter what, so I requested choreography from Dai, a dancer & choreographer who has received attention recently.
When Meg and I saw a video of Dai himself dancing in a demo, I briefly thought "This is cool!!", while Meg's words were "Hmm~... I wonder if I can do it~".
As I heard that, a sense of anxiety crossed my mind, "Really? Hmm... I don't know if this plan will end up in failure...".
However, during the filming day, the appearance of Meg quickly ignoring my worries felt quite good.
At the same time while having the urge to involuntarily shout "It's great!!", I'm sure as hell she trained a lot, but the corners of my eyes unknowingly became hot (laughs).
After the main dance was shot from several different angles, various extra cuts including lip sync were filmed.
No~, with a barrage of sexy facial expressions & poses, my brain suddenly fell into a numb state!!
Everyone playing it in the game has also completely fallen into a numb state!!... Oops, it was a jargon for a different game...
Anyways, this movie is filled with Meg's charm, so watch it from beginning to end!!

Meg

This time, it's nice that the dancer Dai gave me the choreography, but it was difficult to remember the moves proportional to its coolness~ (tears).
Furthermore, during the filming day, the temperature was extremely low, so it was also very difficult.
Anyways, the choreography itself was a big hit with good-cool and everyone on the IIDX team!
I wonder if my recommendation is the chorus part? By all means, please remember it and dance♪
luv & Sanche, Meg.

The background is a notebook with "Last Message" written in it. Something feels like a grudge, doesn't it? Scary scary..

There's a woman doing ParaPara in the 2DX movie, but unfortunately in DDR.. To those who like the ParaPara woman, please imagine her while playing it in DDR.
