== Lyrics ==
=== Japanese ===
<pre>退屈なEveryday(Everyday) いつも悩んで(Night&day)
明日の行方を一人で探し求めて

昨日と同じなら涙なんていらない
きっと笑う事も出来ないままでいるから

強がる言葉と裏腹に淋しさを紛らわせた

分かって欲しいの  気付いて欲しいの  本当の私だけを見つめてよ
13回も重ねたKISSもただ隙間を埋めただけ?</pre>

=== Romaji ===
<pre>taikutsu na Everyday (Everyday) itsumo nayan de (Night&day)
ashita no yukue wo hitori de sagashimotomete

kinou to onaji nara namida nante iranai
kitto warau koto mo dekinai mama de irukara

tsuyogaru kotoba to urahara ni sabishisa wo magirawaseta

wakatte hoshii no kizuite hoshii no hontou no watashi dake wo mitsumete yo 
juusankai mo kasaneta KISS mo tada sukima wo umeta dake?</pre>

== Song Production Information ==
=== NAOKI MAEDA ===
This is an arranged, Japanese cover of Secret Rendez-vous.<br> 
Is R&B somehow a difficult sound to recognize in this world?? But I think R&B is a major sound in the world in contrast to EURO & TRANCE, and is one genre which I want to challenge by experience.

The short version used in 10th style is arranged by TATSH, who added extra detail in the song.<br>
Secret Rendez-vous was reborn as PLATONIC-XXX, which is one variation of the main sound platoniX strives to aim for in the future.

== Video Production Information ==
=== VJ GYO ===
There are high expectations for this new star, platoniX.<br>
From the beginning, they've brilliantly sublimated and shown sounds with very different styles such as R&B and EUROBEAT, and we have high expectations for them in the future.

Although high-speed dance music, such as TRANCE, TECHNO, and EUROBEAT, has recently become mainstream in the IIDX series, it wasn't like that in the beginning, right? It feels like R&B and SOUL were more prominent.<br>
When I listened and played this song, there's something which felt nostalgic and fresh about it.<br>
I think they have the power to revive these genres in the future!
