When I was working on the 3rd style, my mind and body were in Eurobeat (fast and powerful).

This song is filled with the exhilaration of reaching to the heavens and the exhilaration of running through a vehicle (car, bike, bicycle... to each his own) at a pleasingly high speed (car, bike, bicycle... to each his own) and the exhilaration of seeing the beautiful, clear ocean in front of you.<br>

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

I was still in elementary school when the original song was a big hit.
During the peak of idol groups, it was trendy among adolescent boys at that time to listen to Western music, and I feel like they were saying that Japan was somewhat useless~.
This is a cheerful and rearranged version with a sense of speed, that can be enjoyed by those who knew and didn't know this song during that time.
I've filled all the interesting parts of this track in the game, so do your best to play without somehow tiring your hands.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

During the production of 3rd style, as a whirlwind of (high-speed and powerful) Eurobeat continued to race through my heart and body, dj TAKA repeatedly requested for many Eurobeat songs to be included (actually, it's trendy on a major level!), so when the idea for a tie-up with DANCE EXPRESS Hi-speed came up, I immediately pressured the staff to include them.
This song especially feels good to listen to in a high-speed vehicle (cars, motorcycles, bicycles... to each of their own), and feels refreshing, like racing to reach the heavens, and feels uplifting, like viewing a beautiful and very clear sea ahead.

For the movie, I tried to aim for a girl racing in her car (I was very happy to see many people in my department who loved Eurobeat and cars), and I think there are many people who actually want to play this song on a CD while driving to the sea on a slightly sunny day.
When doing this, let's make sure to follow the traffic laws and drive safely.
