=== L.E.D. ===
The appeal of EPIC TRANCE is its melodious and catchy melodies, or the uplifting feeling created through its sweet melodic vocals and upper-style tracks. In "THE SHINING POLARIS", Sana's dreamy vocals, well-known as the "Diva of KONAMI music games!" who has performed in many [[BEMANI]] songs, are matched with the track completing a "crying TRANCE".

I feel as if I've heard it somewhere before in L.E.D.'s world, but the phrases of this "crying trance" (according to L.E.D.) powerfully strike a chord in your heart, don't they?<br>
I think this "really" is the song's key point, while I also "really" dreamed of being a clubber who went to IBIZA Island, and I tried to create my own image of a "real" Pa○○ ○○n ○○ke song.<br>
The "POLARIS" in the title refers to the North Star.<br>
Yes, it was an important navigator for travelers adventuring in the open seas during the Age of Discovery.<br>
Then, when combined with the title of another L.E.D. new song, "[[THE BIG VOYAGER -INFINITE PRAYER REINTERPRETATION-|THE BIG VOYAGER]]", which means "The Adventurer", it seems that L.E.D. was trying to convey BEMANI players the idea of "something" with this new song, right?
