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

None.

Trivia

• On the beatmania IIDX 3rd style website, DREAM's artist was shown as SHIN Murayama featuring mari saito.
• 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 this wasn't the time to create a DIGI-ROCK song (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.... maybe it's me?

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 in the video, which would fully highlight her charm.
I requested for a professional photographer to film it, and although I unfortunately couldn't be present there, 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 relaxing atmosphere.
