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 fast, cheerful rearranged version that can be enjoyed by those who knew and didn't know this song during that time.
I've included 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 more Eurobeat songs to be included (actually, they're popular 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 your CD player while driving to the sea on a slightly sunny day.
If you do, let's make sure to follow the traffic laws and drive safely.
