Japanese

優しい香りがする　澄んだ空が続く
人はこの土地をまるで　楽園のようと言う

でも君だけは　遠い未知の国を望む
険しい旅路でもいい　迷わず連れ去って

君だけを愛し続けてゆく事　選んだから
羽が擦り切れて折れる日まで　翔ばたきたい

そう　心塞いで　羽を閉ざして　ただ祈って待つより
命の限り真実を探す　君と生きてゆきたい

苦悩の闇　混迷の渦を　幾つ飛び越えた先
最後に君と辿り着く場所　そこが ――――――――「楽園」になる

Romaji

yasashii kaori ga suru sunda sora ga tsuzuku

demo kimi dake wa tooi michi no kuni wo nozomu
kewashii tabiji demo ii mayowazu tsure satte

kimi dake wo aishi tsuzukete yuku koto eranda kara
hane ga suri kirete oreru hi made habatakitai

sou kokoro fusai de hane wo tozashite tada inotte matsu yori

English

A gentle scent, a clear sky spread out
People say that this land is like Eden

But you, you wish for an unknown land afar
No matter how difficult journey, please don't hesitate to take me away

Because I chose to keep on loving you, only you
To flap my wings and fly until the day they are torn and broken

Yes, rather than shutting myself in, with my wings closed and wait as I pray
You will search for the truth for as long as your life lasts, I want to spend my life with you

Agonizing darkness, swirls of chaos, up ahead after flying over them
That place you and I reach in the end, that will be ―――――――― "EDEN"

English

A pleasant fragrance hangs on the breeze as the weather clears again People say that this land is "just like paradise" But, you're the only one who dreams about roads to far-off places It's a difficult journey, but that's okay; it carries you away without hesitation Because I decided to keep loving only you, I want to keep flying on until the day my wings wear down and break Yes, rather than closing my heart and folding my wings, just praying and waiting, I'll search for reality which should be somewhere so that I can be with you When I've crossed over the darkness of distress and confusion so many times To finally meet you, in the end ... that place will become my "eden"

Long Version

English

A gentle scent, a clear sky spread out People say that this land is like Eden But you, you wish for an unknown land afar No matter how difficult journey, please don't hesitate to take me away Because I chose to keep on loving you, only you To flap my wings and fly until the day they are torn and broken An abundant land extending into the distance, an unsatisfied heart To your trembling gaze, I told you "I'm not coming home" A grey ocean, a sea of trees, if a time comes when we are lost Don't leave me in a shaped vision of the future Because I chose to keep on loving you, only you To flap my wings and fly until the day they are torn and broken Yes, rather than shutting myself in, with my wings closed and wait as I pray You will search for the truth for as long as your life lasts, I want to spend my life with you Because I chose to keep loving you, only you Let me be by your side until I lose all my strength and fall asleep ････! Agonizing darkness, swirls of chaos, up ahead after flying over them That place you and I reach in the end, that will be ―――――――― "EDEN" La la la la la I chose to spend my life with you La la la la la I want to fly away and reach the truth, ････ the one and only truth

Song Production Information

Because I want to see the "truth" you're looking for, together with you ────

Directly chasing something may actually be the most difficult thing to do.
It may be easier to feel hurt when you believe in something without giving up at any moment.
That's why people give up and call the familiar scenery around them "Eden".

".... I want to find the real Eden."

The color of the sky.
The scent of the wind.
The warmth of the earth.
The singing voices unconsciously heard everywhere.....

Your own "EDEN" is surely sleeping somewhere.
When you arrive.... take my hand and let's laugh.

NAOKI MAEDA

It's natural for an artist to be able to create music that only you can do, which is why TЁЯRA as a unit exists.
Various elements overlap among the songs included in the beatmaniaIIDX series, but with "EDEN", I'm strongly conscious that it's "music" which genuinely makes you feel great, and it was completed with our individual personality.

TЁЯRA's original genre "HYPER J-POP" reflects the "current" sound we should be aiming for, and that's achieved with "EDEN".

Video Production Information

GOLI

This is TЁЯRA's greatest number, the strongest unit with a different melody to "DoLL". TЁЯRA's album is also selling well. I'm also honored to be in charge of this song. I listened to it the most during the production period. It's a masterpiece in HAPPY SKY.

Like with DoLL, I'm obsessed with one thing when making movies for TЁЯRA's songs. As you may have noticed, many movies I make use motion typography, but TЁЯRA's songs don't use typography except for the title text. I didn't include lyrics, English letters, or any text, except for in the title section. I personally like doing this, as if you add detailed sentences, it has wide movements and fashionable design. But I won't do this here. I need to try my best to answer TЁЯRA's songs they've worked hard on. I stubbornly only drew animations for it, so it has my own individuality.

The theme for the designers this time is to prepare materials for all the new songs in some way. So, I had to create for more songs than I've done before. Also, this time I was very busy with promotional illustrations, results, and commissioned management (VJ GYO was in charge of most songs. I only had three.). I really regret finishing EDEN's partially drawn illustrations until the very end, and editing them in three days. But, thanks to the enthusiastic support of the programmer WASYA and designer HES, I somehow barely finished it on time. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank them. Thank you very much.

※If it wasn't for the leader HES' shoulder massage, I honestly wouldn't have completed it (laughs).
