Lyrics

Still, still in my heart
Here in my heart
Still in my heart
Deep in my heart

Why? Why did you have to go away?
Always hard to stay
Kiss before going over,over you

Tell me, was this really true romance
Or just a fantasy?
I can't believe what we've been through?
You're hanging out with someone new

Still, you're in my heart
Baby, in my heart
Always in my heart
You'll never leave my heart

Still, still you're in my heart
Deep down in my heart
Fill me with ecstasy

Exactly, in my heart

Oh, baby!
No, baby!
Can't let you go.

Or was it just a fantasy
Of what I thought could be reality?
Oh baby, can't you just see
That I can't go on
Never without you?

Still, still you're in my heart
Never leave my heart
Now and forever more
Still, still you're in my heart
Always in my heart
When will I ever break free?

NAOKI

CAN'T STOP FALLIN' IN LOVE, BROKEN MY HEART, and LOVE AGAIN TONIGHT are songs I've released as part of my second Euro song series.
These three songs are strongly connected by the story of their lyrics (about a romantic journey), with LOVE AGAIN TONIGHT intended to conclude as the happy ending.
However, as nothing remains the same, the time came to say "goodbye" for the sake of their futures......
Such a scene was completed with "STILL IN MY HEART", a song positioned as a summary of the second Euro song series.
Every time you play and listen to this song, perhaps you may remember the existence of "that person".
Music always resonates with people's emotions, and has the power to shake their hearts and move their bodies... that's what I think.

DanceDanceRevolution 5thMIX Original Soundtrack

From "CAN'T STOP FALLIN' IN LOVE" in D.D.R.Solo 2000 to "LOVE AGAIN TONIGHT" in 4thMIX, this Euro trilogy was created with the theme about a romantic journey. This impressive song, which contains a "melancholic" melody that Japanese people like, was created as a summary to link them together. The vocalist's sorrowful singing voice, and the chorus which feels as a burst out of restrained emotions, unconsciously moves your heart. I'd like everyone who knows the bittersweet feeling of love to listen to this number.

DanceDanceRevolution Party Collection

From "CAN'T STOP FALLIN' IN LOVE" to "LOVE AGAIN TONIGHT", this Euro trilogy was written with the theme about a romantic journey. It contains a "melancholic" melody that Japanese people like, and unconsciously moves your heart. I'd like to dedicate this song to everyone who knows the bittersweet feeling of love.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

When music synchronizes with your current situation, it acts like BGM for your current situation (right now), as if it was a drama created by you.
And you're portraying the lead role of that drama...
I think that the four songs in the second Euro song series, including NAOKI's "STILL IN MY HEART", are strong among the songs included in IIDX, not only in the image evoked through the song title and lyrics, but also I think each melody and transition contains a strong power to provide listeners with these experiences (and often, fully immersing them in it).

I personally find it easy to immerse myself when driving "a vehicle" (not limited to cars, but any vehicle that can travel somewhere).
Also, my favorite time is when positive emotions are attracted to me, and it's easy to repel negative emotions.
That's why NAOKI's Euro music, flowing with a sense of drive, is suitable for me.
Mika and Yuri (the characters who appear in the movie) also suit that type.
Therefore...

Staff Comments

The draft illustration is based on a certain actor (not major at all) I vaguely thought about in my memories. But unfortunately, they don't look very similar.
"STILL IN MY HEART" is an ironic title.
