This is my first original rock number in the DDR series, featuring edgy and solid guitars. I personally thought Be For U were better suited for this type of lengthy rock sound, with the girls' current positive power pushing into an energetic and aggressive super pop number, BRE∀K DOWN!

==== Liner Notes ====
This is a thrilling rock number which is reminiscent of the '80s band boom. The booming and flying guitar, and the cute and powerful female vocals, unconsciously raise the tension. When the chorus groovily reaches the climax, the teenage girl-styled lines are also amazing. This is just an exceptionally positive song, and if you hum the phrases while energetically dancing, it should be even more exciting. This song is recommended for female D.D.R. beginners.
