Sometimes it feels like I have to hold myself to low standards to be able to actually release a track for use on the floor or in games, but this time I've made a track that even I'm very satisfied with. This song features LIA, who is known for singing some of the great happy hardcore anthems. Lia's voice gave me goose bumps even during recording, and it felt like I had a glimpse of heaven for just a moment. This time I'm not so much happy about having been able to finish a song; my true pleasure is being able to deliver this wonderful singing to everyone.

I had a cold on the day we recorded HORIZON, and my nose kept running in the recording booth. All the recording staff were worried. I was worried, since I had to sing nasally to hit all the high notes in this song, but kors k seemed really happy with every take. I had the chance to hear the song after editing was finished, and it came out very well. I think a lot of people will enjoy playing this song.

This is the second movie of the series that starts with [[Secret of Love]]. in fact, there's a common theme ...

"To somewhere, that's not here"

The lyrics and the title of the song made it easy to work within this theme. A girl who can't see the horizon hopes to find it; A girl whose life is the horizon aims for something even farther. Like the lyrics, I worked with an image of a young lady wishing for the appearance of a new world.
