==== 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". | |||

==== 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! | |||
