Japanese

staying up all night long
27時の路地裏
don't say it won't be long
何度でもいいから
give it to me

keep on shaking me babe
誰も知らない屋根裏
swallowed up by your waves
爪跡を隠して

つぶやく jelly kiss
禁じられた you and me
秘密の jelly kiss
奈落へ one more kiss　堕ちるまで

押し殺す my voice
口塞がれ
身を占う dice
明日はなくても
エデンの果てに
辿り着ける

叫んだ jelly kiss
禁じられた you and me
秘密の jelly kiss
奈落へ one more kiss　堕ちるまで

Romaji

staying up all night long
nijuunanaji no roji ura
don't say it won't be long
nanda demo ii kara
give it to me 

keep on shaking me babe
dare mo shiranai yane ura
swallowed up by your waves
tsumeato wo kakushite

tsubuyaku jelly kiss
kinjirareta you and me
himitsu no jelly kiss
naraku e one more kiss ochiru made 

oshi korosu my voice
kuchi fusagare

EDEN no hate ni

kinjirareta you and me
himitsu no jelly kiss
naraku e one more kiss ochiru made

English

staying up all night long 3 A.M. in back alleys don't say it won't be long Because anything will be fine give it to me keep on shaking me babe The attic that no one knows swallowed up by your waves Making scratch marks Murmur jelly kiss Was not allowed you and me A secret jelly kiss one more kiss before we fall into hell Forcing down my voice Shut my mouth Cast my eyes like dice If tomorrow never comes We can still grope our way To eden in the end Shouted out jelly kiss Was not allowed you and me A secret jelly kiss one more kiss before we fall into hell

Long Version

Japanese

staying up all night long 27時の路地裏 don't say it won't be long 何度でもいいから give it to me keep on shaking me babe 誰も知らない屋根裏 swallowed up by your waves 爪跡を隠して つぶやく jelly kiss 禁じられた you and me 秘密の jelly kiss 奈落へ one more kiss 堕ちるまで falling into a nightmare 恐れ知らない堕天使 take off, no time to spare 何もかも脱ぎ捨て do it to me keep on locking me babe 疲れ知らない小悪魔 almost drowned in your waves 朝焼けを憎んだ 叫んだ jelly kiss 信じられた you and me 二人の jelly kiss 炎が one more kiss　果てるまで 押し殺す my voice 口塞がれ 身を占う dice 明日はなくても エデンの果てに 辿り着ける 消え去る jelly kiss 引き裂かれた you and me 秘密の jelly kiss 奈落へ one more kiss･･･ jelly kiss 禁じられた you and me 灼けつく jelly kiss 朝陽に one more kiss 溶けるまで

Song Production Information

beatmania IIDX 6th style -new songs collection-

Sana

Are you trying to break your own rules, or are you taking advantage of them because it's forbidden....?
I actually like a ruined life, which hurts the more it advances.
Those who are facing pain with nowhere to go, and those who don't relate to such extreme situations, enjoy the midsummer thrill of jelly kiss.

Togo

I named it AOR in complete desperation, but to summarize, doesn't it feel like ROCK, HIPHOP, 2STEP, and POP? (I don't know)
I used the resonator guitar from the pop'n live at Nippon Seinen-kan Hall (a.k.a. dobro guitar), and I completely like the strange metal-like "myo" sound, so I tried to use it in this song.
The long version features guest musicians Kenji Suzuki (a guitarist for singers such as Misia), and Nazo²Suzuki (a cheeky pop'n director). It became a W Suzuki battle!

beatmania IIDX 8th style

Togo

A.O.R. in the '70s~'80s generally had a "refreshing/light feeling/West Coast" image, but the abbreviation of A.O.R. in this song means "Adult Oriented Rock" = ROCK aimed at adults, so the genre name means "an acceptable ROCK that can be appreciated by adults".

The guitar I'm playing in this movie clip is a resonator guitar (a.k.a. dobro guitar), which contains a unique sound amplified by the metal soundboard attached to the body of the guitar, and seems like a natural(?) evolution from the acoustic guitar to the electric guitar.

Musically, as seen in Sana's above comment, she has a different image to the pop'n character SANAE-chan, so perhaps that's represented as one side of the real 'Sana'... (this meaningful!)

Video Production Information

Yasi

Sana's world has expanded to the point where she has released three albums before I noticed, but the movie promotion was in a shortened state as usual (sweats).
Her first movie appearance was in "SANA・MOLLETE・NE・ENTE(B.L.T. STYLE)", but I feel that in the passage of time, she was able to naturally sing and perform without asking me, compared to that time.
However, even generally influential artists in Japan seem to have rather strict promotion. No, I don't really know.
