Lyrics

Life in the city
The pulsing of reality
Day in and day out
They all live so easily
Ohhhhhh
But I can't

So many people
The streets filled with memories
Day in and day out
I hold my destiny

Who am I?
Why am I here?
Free to open up the window
To release the inner halo
No one's made to feel the wind blow
Who am I?
Why am I here?
Seek you deep inside more reason
To believe the future stories
Someday I will climb my rainbow

The poppiest, catchiest song from this version.

Also, the image for this song was apparently an afternoon nap on a Scottish farm with some sheep.

Fujii

House-like rhythms are overlaid onto UK guitar pop, giving the song a real crossover vibe.
There haven't been many clean guitar pop songs in beatmania, but this upbeat number fits right in.
