== Song Production Information ==
=== beatmania IIDX ===
==== Riyu Kosaka ====
Hello☆★<br>
I'm Riyu Kosaka.
This time, "Himawari" will be included in beatmaniaIIDX HAPPY SKY.<br>
I'm really, really happy because "Himawari" is one of my favorite songs.<br>
Sunflowers mean... summer!<br>
Summer means... blue skies!<br>
Blue skies mean... Happy Sky!? It's a great season.<br>
Summer is hot. Very hot.<br>
In this hot, hot season, I hope we can get through it as high, bright, and bold(?) as a sunflower that grows straight up to the sun..
And if you enjoy playing beatmaniaIIDX HAPPY SKY and have "Happy" days, Riyu will also be "Happy".
=== GUITARFREAKS 10thMIX & drummania 9thMIX Official Website ===
==== NAOKI MAEDA ====
"Himawari" is BeForU's third project for GF&dm, following "[[Chikara]]".
This is my best number of 2003, in which happy hardcore-styled drumming is intertwined with my own guitar, and Riyu Kosaka's rhythmical and energetic vocals, are matched with her lyrics that only she could write, with high tension.
I personally called this sound as J-HAPPYHARD CORE rock.<br>
It follows the flow of my style heard in "[[CANDY (Riyu Kosaka)|CANDY♡]]" and "[[LOVE SHINE|LOVE♡SHINE]]".<br>
However, "Himawari" is a brand-new original song for GF&DM, so I pushed the guitar to the forefront, and you can definitely play real drums (laughs).
It's like "Chikara" and "[[BREAK DOWN! (GF&DM STYLE)|BRE∀K DOWN!]]", but you should definitely play them with a band, so please play it at least once!!
And much like "Chikara", the lyrics are also quite moving, so please listen carefully to this song's message!
=== GUITARFREAKS 10thMIX & drummania 9thMIX Soundtracks ===
==== NAOKI MAEDA ====
This J-HAPPY HARDCORE number, "Himawari", is one of the standard styles of the BeForU sound, with an exhilarating pop and speedy feeling.<br>
Riyu Kosaka's lyrics, which completely relate to the real world, continued to give me courage many times as I completed this song.<br>
"If I could make the same flowers bloom, I want them to bloom like the sun...."<br>
I think it's really important to have positive feelings and attitudes.<br>
I think many people unexpectedly almost forget their reality and easily become pessimistic...
Well, the full version of Himawari is included in BeForU's 1st album, so to those who like this song, by all means, please listen to it.<br>
Actually, the vocal track and arrangement are completely different to the game version.

Nostalgic, that's all I can say!<br>
It's somewhat embarrassing to see a video I made two years ago on a different game series like this....
In fact, I didn't do anything for this crossover.<br>
It's the same as the original. But the size is different.
<small>I didn't do anything, yet I was included in the staff credits. Lucky.</small>
=== GuitarFreaks & DrumMania ===
==== AMAMO ====
This is BeForU's third song in the Gitadora series!!!
This is a fresh and youthful song, so RIYU and the other BeForU members also appear in refreshing outfits.<br>
(By the way, RIYU's hairstyle has slightly changed this time ^^;)<br>
Anyways, my first impression of this song was "running", so I made RIYU run this time.
Humans want to run somewhere during their youth.<br>
Looking back, those days seemed the most lively....<br>
We felt like we could do anything without "fear".
The clip's overall image feels like "BRE∀K DOWN!", but with a pop-tinted screen.<br>
This pop feeling is important after all, right?!
This is a bright and fun song.<br>
By all means, please play it!

Japanese

Yahh! Yahh! Super music start!

君はなんて言う名前なの？ どこかで見た顔かも
特に目立たない それは小さかったから
いつしか色がついて 目に溜まる事が増えた
少し背も伸びた いつか大人になるんだね
美しくなるにつれてその姿に引き寄せられ
本当は知ってたの 小さなあの頃から WOW～

心まで照らしてた 太陽みたいになりたいって
あの頃の君はそう言っていたね
そうさちょっとだけでも 太陽に一歩近づくんだ
眩い光を浴びて生きるまで「ヒマワリ」

季節は過ぎ
巡ってゆく
今日もまた

美しくなった君は
僕の隣で笑いかける 握り締めた手は今も小さいから WOW～

心に照らし出す 瞬きもできないくらい あの頃の君を忘れないように
そうさちょっとだけだけど 太陽に一歩近づけた
眩い愛を与えて生きる君は「ヒマワリ」

Long Version

Japanese

君は何て言う名前なの?
何処かでみた顔かも?
特に目立たない
それは小さかったから?

いつしか色がついて
目にとまることが増えた
少し背も伸びた
いつか大人になるんだね

美しくなるにつれて
その姿に引き寄せられ
本当は知ってたの  小さなあの頃から･･･

心まで照らしてた
「太陽みたいになりたい!」って
あの頃の君はそう言っていたね
そうさ!ちょっとだけでも
太陽に一歩近づくんだ
まばゆい光を浴びて生きる
まるでヒマワリ

いつも側に
この花を
咲かせていよう

君は負けず嫌いなほうで
昔から変わらないね
いつもひとりで前だけをみつめてた
色んな現実を見てきて
環境も変わっただろう
独りよがりな
君はもうここにはいない

柔らかな日差しを背に
優しい瞳で僕を見てた
僕には前より鮮やかな君が見えた

心から照らされた
そんな気がした
心が満たされた
君がいたから?

心を照らされた
全てを優しく包んでた
いつも僕を曖めてくれてたんだね
そうさ!"君"がここにいる
何もかも明るく照らしてた
まばゆい光を放ち生きる
君はヒマワリ

いつのまにか
過ぎる日々を
大切だと感じながら
季節は過ぎ
今日もまた二人で
過ごしている･･･

美しくなった君は僕の隣で笑いかける
握りしめた手は今も小さいから
変わらないまま･･･

心に照らし出す!
瞬きもできないくらい
あの頃の君を忘れないように
そうさ!ちょっとだけだけど
太陽に一歩近づけた!

まばゆい愛を与えて生きる
君はヒマワリ

Song Production Information

beatmania IIDX

Riyu Kosaka

Hello☆★
I'm Riyu Kosaka.

This time, "Himawari" will be included in beatmaniaIIDX HAPPY SKY.
I'm really, really happy because "Himawari" is one of my favorite songs.
Sunflowers mean... summer!
Summer means... blue skies!
Blue skies mean... Happy Sky!? It's a great season.
Summer is hot. Very hot.
In this hot, hot season, I hope we can get through it as high, bright, and bold(?) as a sunflower that grows straight up to the sun..

And if you enjoy playing beatmaniaIIDX HAPPY SKY and have "Happy" days, Riyu will also be "Happy".

GUITARFREAKS 10thMIX & drummania 9thMIX Official Website

NAOKI MAEDA

"Himawari" is BeForU's third project for GF&dm, following "Chikara".

This is my best number of 2003, in which happy hardcore-styled drumming is intertwined with my own guitar, and Riyu Kosaka's rhythmical and energetic vocals, are matched with her lyrics that only she could write, with high tension.

I personally called this sound as J-HAPPYHARD CORE rock.
It follows the flow of my style heard in "CANDY♡" and "LOVE♡SHINE".
However, "Himawari" is a brand-new original song for GF&DM, so I pushed the guitar to the forefront, and you can definitely play real drums (laughs).

It's like "Chikara" and "BRE∀K DOWN!", but you should definitely play them with a band, so please play it at least once!!

And much like "Chikara", the lyrics are also quite moving, so please listen carefully to this song's message!

GUITARFREAKS 10thMIX & drummania 9thMIX Soundtracks

NAOKI MAEDA

This J-HAPPY HARDCORE number, "Himawari", is one of the standard styles of the BeForU sound, with an exhilarating pop and speedy feeling.
Riyu Kosaka's lyrics, which completely relate to the real world, continued to give me courage many times as I completed this song.
"If I could make the same flowers bloom, I want them to bloom like the sun...."
I think it's really important to have positive feelings and attitudes.
I think many people unexpectedly almost forget their reality and easily become pessimistic...

Well, the full version of Himawari is included in BeForU's 1st album, so to those who like this song, by all means, please listen to it.
Actually, the vocal track and arrangement are completely different to the game version.

Video Production Information

beatmania IIDX

amamon.

Nostalgic, that's all I can say!
It's somewhat embarrassing to see a video I made two years ago on a different game series like this....

In fact, I didn't do anything for this crossover.
It's the same as the original. But the size is different.

I didn't do anything, yet I was included in the staff credits. Lucky.

AMAMO

This is BeForU's third song in the Gitadora series!!!

This is a fresh and youthful song, so RIYU and the other BeForU members also appear in refreshing outfits.
(By the way, RIYU's hairstyle has slightly changed this time ^^;)
Anyways, my first impression of this song was "running", so I made RIYU run this time.

Humans want to run somewhere during their youth.
Looking back, those days seemed the most lively....
We felt like we could do anything without "fear".

The clip's overall image feels like "BRE∀K DOWN!", but with a pop-tinted screen.
This pop feeling is important after all, right?!

This is a bright and fun song.
By all means, please play it!
