== Lyrics ==
=== Game Size ===
<pre>So many days we wasted under the sky
Watching the sun go up and come down again

So many nights we ended up counting the stars
Until we realized that sheep should have been the subject

When I am with you with you with you
The universe is gonna stop
I wanna be with you with you with you
Wherever you are, you see you in my eyes

Why do we stick around like this?
I love to share the rhythm of our talking
How can we keep repeating the same old lines?
You and I make everything feel so new

Why do we stick around like this?
I want to spend the rest of my life with you
How do we know we'll be together?
I always knew it since we met

One and One do not make Two
A man and woman make a bigger One

So many moments we were looking for this answer</pre>

{{hide text|<pre>So many days we wasted under the sky
Watching the sun go up and come down again

So many nights we ended up counting the stars
Until we realized that sheep should have been the subject

When I am with you with you with you
The universe is gonna stop
I wanna be with you with you with you
Wherever you are, you see you in my eyes

Why do we stick around like this?
I love to share the rhythm of our talking
How can we keep repeating the same old lines?
You and I make everything feel so new

Why do we stick around like this?
I want to spend the rest of my life with you
How do we know we'll be together?
I always knew it since we met

So many hugs we showed everyone in town 
I didn't care what they ever thought of us

So many kisses starting up a hundred sparks
Shedding the brightest light to blind the people who watch us

When I'm close to you to you to you
The world is gonna disappear
I'm close to you to you to you
I hear your heartbeat in harmony with mine

Why do we stick around like this?
I love to share the rhythm of our talking
How can we keep repeating the same old lines?
You and I make everything feel so new

Why do we stick around like this?
I want to spend the rest of my life with you
How do we know we'll be together?
I always knew it since we met

One and One do not make Two
A man and woman make a bigger One

So many moments we were looking for this answer</pre>}}

=== Megumi Oka ===
Hello, it's nice to meet you (is it?), I'm Megumi Oka.<br>
KOBO's composition of "Stick Around" is an example of extra energy = charm!<br>
This expression is perfect!<br>
I think of extra energy as something kind and fun, not as something brash like being lazy and cutting corners...<br>
I've encountered various kinds songs while singing them, but this song provides a nice feeling.<br>
As a performer, I ideally don't flirt and seek others, and "Stick Around" allowed me to fulfil my selfish wish to be with an office worker.<br>
Well! I want you to pay attention to the exceptional and Sweet lyrics by Scott, who has helped me since "[[HUNTING FOR YOU|Hunting for you]]".<br>
Please experience this nice "exclusive" feeling in the game and sound (laughs)... (Tokyo native Megu)

=== Scotty D. ===
I was requested to write these lyrics, and immediately after I first heard this song, I was inspired and thought, "instead of passionate love, let's make the theme about a warm feeling of love!".<br>
I tried to write the lyrics about a couple sharing ordinary days together, and the feelings of a girl who cherishes such times as treasure.<br>
In the chorus, "Why do we stick around like this?", the girl's answer to the man's question and the "One and One" sounds cute, and I like it a lot, if I may say so myself, who wrote these lyrics.<br>
I liked it so much, that I kept praising myself at the recording place, "Hmm..! These lyrics are wonderful!".<br>
By the way, I'm singing the male part in the chorus.<br>
My face briefly appears in the game's video, so I apologize that my appearance doesn't completely match the song's image or the singing voice, and to those who really thought about this, I'd like to say: "Ignore it!!!"

== Video Production Information ==
=== Yasi ===
I honestly like this song. It was "surprising" in a good way that kobo wrote a song like this.<br>
Meanwhile, I cursed myself for not being able to show this kind of charm from kobo, who I worked together with for so long.<br>
I think it was difficult for him to be busy creating data as his main job while composing, and I regret that I should've quickly mastered [[Tadao Kageyama|KAGE]]'s six ways to use people, who said that something good comes out of criticizing them many times.
