Untranslated.
==== Hideyuki Ono ====
TAEKO's sexy and powerful vocals are awesome with Latin rhythms!! The roaring guitars and flashy horns make the song even more exciting!! This song was created with the hope that the audience will enjoy the fun of Latin music while playing percussion. The percussion instrument played in the game is the "timbales", which is often used in Latin music. I want you to hit the timbales solo in a flowing way.

I made this based on the Long Ver. from the soundtrack CD. On the soundtrack CD this song had a piano solo, but this time we tried with a gut guitar solo. A stylish gut guitar solo, right?
==== Hideyuki Ono ====
I changed the piano solo into a gut guitar solo based on the bonus track long version of the soundtrack. It's even cooler and more stylish. I never get tired of TAEKO's growing vocals, no matter how many times I listen to them. After all, summer means Latin.
 
==== Musician's Room 2 ====
It's based on the Long Ver. of the soundtrack CD. The soundtrack CD included a piano solo, but this time I used a gut guitar solo. The gut guitar solo is stylish, isn't it?
