<pre>Reach out your hands to the clouds | |||
Cast away | |||
'Cause there's light in your soul | |||
And it's fraught with possibilities | |||
There always comes some times | |||
When everything is down | |||
And it seems hard to find | |||
Of the path to get a place of hope | |||
When whether dreams come true comes reality | |||
So | |||
Keep your head up and try to harbor a spirit | |||
Right and you'll get a place up in the sky | |||
And fly high | |||
So reach out to the clouds | |||
Try to cast wear aside | |||
Trust your heart and your soul | |||
See the day that it's coming through</pre> | |||

== Music Comment == | |||
I wish everyone around the world is happy. This is a peace loving house song. | |||
== Song Production Information == | |||
=== DJ.W === | |||
Hello. Is it still DJ.W? I want to change it anyways.<br> | |||
I was given this false name by clever people.<br> | |||
I have nothing to do with a disc-spinning job in the first place.<br> | |||
So I don't want to say what DJ stands for even if I die. | |||
It's been approximately two years since I properly wrote a song, but with the help of Lala Moore and many others, I was able to create wonderful memories. I'm grateful.<br> | |||
The topic wasn't addressed at all, but my personal favorite part was the chorus by Mori no ki jidou gasshoudan.<br> | |||
The part where the older lady and them are singing "turu-turu" together.<br> | |||
When I missed the final train of the day as usual and walked home in approximately four hours (how stupid of me), I thought "it's a dangerous world in many ways, so let's create a happy song"<br> | |||
"I hope children will enjoy living in the 21st century!"<br> | |||
These were all examples of thoughts which led me to decide on adding a children's choir in the song.<br> | |||
Since it's called a children's choir, my initial impression included boys and girls, but I only saw junior high school girls gathered when I went to the studio.<br> | |||
I was nervous if they called me a fraud while I was waving a conductor's baton and said "Three, now".<br> | |||
Although I'm becoming old and completely worn out, I had the illusion that these lost, pure feelings were restored.<br> | |||
Let's all have that illusion while humming and playing this song. | |||
== Video Production Information == | |||
=== GOLI === | |||
Clouds. [[Yuji Takahashi|YUZ]] acquired the still-images from Guam for the first time.<br> | |||
Of course, he used them without permission.<br> | |||
The winged person. When I listened to the song, a chicken came across my mind....<br> | |||
Turu-turu = Clucking. | |||
Although I'm becoming old and completely worn out, I had the illusion that some lost, pure feelings were restored, but they were illusions after all.<br> | |||
I only had the image of a chicken in my mind.... | |||
