Bringing life to our kingdom of doing

Take a ride in the sky, on our ship fantasii

Loving life, for you and me, to behold, to (through?) your soul in ecstasy
Loving life, for you and me, to behold, to your soul in ecstasy
You will find, other kind, that has been in search of you,
You will find, other kind, that has been in search of you,
Many lives has brought you to

Recognize it’s your life, now in review

And as you glide (fly?), in your stride with the wind, as you fly away
And as you glide, in your stride with the wind, as you fly away
Give a smile, from your lips, and say

I am free, yes I’m free, now I’m on my way

== Remixes / Song Connections ==


The version of Fantasy in AC and CS 4th Style is a remix of the song by the same name by the popular American funk group, Earth, Wind, and Fire.
== Song Connections / Remixes ==
* FANTASY is a dance remix of the 1978 disco track of the same name by American funk group, Earth, Wind, & Fire.
* An extended, megamixed version of FANTASY can be found on the [[beatmania IIDX 4th style Original Soundtracks]] album.


== Trivia ==
== Trivia ==
*Fantasy can be found in full version on the 4th Style OST and on volume 2 of Dance Express Hi-Speed.
* FANTASY's notecharts were created by [[Jun Wakita|wac]].
 
* FANTASY is one of the only two licenses in beatmania IIDX history to be removed from the arcade and later revived. Both it and [[JIVE INTO THE NIGHT]] were revived in [[AC 9th style|beatmania IIDX 9th style]].
*Fantasy is preceded by a remix of New York City Boy and followed by a remix of Mambo No. 5 on Dance Express Hi-Speed volume 2. The CD is meant to be listened to as a type of megamix.
** Unlike JIVE TO THE NIGHT, though, FANTASY was not revived again in [[AC GOLD|beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD]].
 
* At the time of its debut, FANTASY had the most notes of any Single chart in beatmania IIDX, with 1196 notes on its ANOTHER chart.
*The vocals in the remix and the original song are strikingly similar if not the same track.
** This record was beaten [[AC 5th style|the following game]] by [[V]]'s 1519. V would hold this position until [[AC IIDX RED|beatmania IIDX 11 IIDX RED]].


* Fantasy is *not* the same as either of the two songs called Fantasy that appeared on DDR.
== Song Production Information ==
=== Wac ===
Well, it's give-and-take. No rest for the notechart creator. I'm Wac.<br>
Regards from [[AC pnm Animelo 2|Animelo 2]]. beatmania's notecharts are popular among IIDX players. Pay attention to the ending! In 4thStyle.<br>
Now, about FANTASY. I'm sure many people have heard the original song, it's a super famous song by EARTH WIND&FIRE.<br>
wac hasn't been involved in the IIDX series since [[AC 2nd style|2ndStyle]], but I'm secretly happy to be in charge of an Earth cover, following from [[Brazilian Rhyme]] during that time. (Or rather, I took over from the [[Tomoyuki Uchida|mustache man]]. He wanted to do Kin-chan (Kinnikuman)'s [[Honoo no Kinnikuman|song]] in Animelo, so I guess it's alright)<br>
To the young people who don't know the original song, by all means, please listen to the Earth version. It's hot. Anyways, it's in space.<br>
By the way, the original album, not the best of, also includes Brazilian Rhyme. It's a bargain.<br>
Now, let's discuss the notechart. It's the DANCE EXPRESS Hi-Speed version, so it's very fast and difficult, but I consciously created them to be gentle to people... when I said that, [[Tadao Kageyama|KAGE]] kept asking me "can you clear it?".<br>
Yes, I still couldn't clear it. I'll try very hard to practice it, so please forgive me.<br>
By the way, the mustache man is attached to everything. He's weird.<br>
It doesn't matter, but I went to do karaoke with [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]], [[Reo Nagumo|dj nagureo]], and the sound data analyzers the other day, and they said "you were in charge of it" and forced me to sing FANTASY (the original song), which was disastrous.<br>
The lyrics don't appear like in DDR or Animelo, but let's all sing it, too. During the game. That's impossible.


== Music Production Notes ==
== Video Production Information ==
=== VJ GYO ===
Of all the music I've heard, with all due respect, I haven't heard any EARTH WIND&FIRE before, and even when Wac told me that it was a cover of their super famous song, I couldn't recognize it.<br>
But after listening to this song, I started to think it was really nice~ (maybe it was easy to listen to from the Eurobeat arrangement).<br>
Even though it feels painful and depressing, if you keep on wishing... many emotional things come to my mind during such situations.
