Lyrics

Japanese

魔法に触れたみたい ほら舞い降りた夢
これからが始まりなの さあ勇気を出してよ

傷つきながら知ったことはきっと
また一つ私を強くする

たまには泣いてもいいから 信じることを怖がらずに
たどり着いた扉の向こう 新しい私がいる
大人への階段昇る 初めの一歩は怖いけど
翼広げて飛び立とう はるか彼方続く道

Song Connections / Remixes

None.

Trivia

  • DREAM, along with Let's talk it over and SKIN mark Shinichiro Murayama's debut in BEMANI.
  • When beatmania IIDX 3rd style came out, players asked on the game site's Q&A (archived) if there was a long version of DREAM. dj TAKA confirmed that there is not.

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

This is a J-POP styled HOUSE song, produced by Shinichiro Murayama a.k.a SHIN Murayama.
The way vocalist mari saito sings with all her might, is very refreshing, and I somehow thought that it wasn't the time to create DIGI-ROCK (which was eventually titled LEADING CYBER).
She's probably the youngest participating artist in beatmania history.
The record holders at that time were probably the two ON members, right?
And before them... I mean.... is it me by any chance?

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

Due to the strong push from dj TAKA, who was present at the recording of this song, I requested for the vocalist mari saito to appear, which would highlight her full charm in a music video style.
Although I requested for a professional photographer to film it, I unfortunately couldn't be present on-site, but I was in charge of editing.
There are examples of club music videos overexpressing feelings of nostalgic grooves and textures of the past.
While editing this video, I used these techniques and tried to aim for a somewhat relieving atmosphere.
