Lyrics

Japanese

Kiss in blue heaven  もっと遠くに
Kiss in blue heaven  連れていって
ねえ  DARLIN'

ビーズの波を空に飛ばして
泳げない振りわざとしたのよ
ちょっとからかうはずだったのに
抱きしめられて気が遠くなる
Kiss in blue heaven  雲の帆船
Kiss in blue heaven  乗せて行って
ねえ  DARLIN'

おしえて  ここは何処?
私生きているの?
天国に手が届きそうな
青い椰子の島

Romaji

Kiss in blue heaven motto tooku ni
Kiss in blue heaven tsurete itte
nee DARLIN'

BEADS no nami wo sora ni tobashite
oyogenai furi waza to shita no yo
chotto karakau hazu datta no ni
dakishimerarete ki ga tooku naru
Kiss in blue heaven kumo no hansen
Kiss in blue heaven nosete itte
nee DARLIN'

oshiete koko wa doko?
watashi ikiteiru no?
tengoku ni te ga todoki sou na
aoi yashi no shima

Song Production Information

D.J.TAKA

From what I recall, I think the first record I bought was "Tengoku no kiss".
Despite being a child, I thought it was a great song with a strange feeling, but after arranging it now, I understood that it's very unique.
I don't think many teenagers have heard this song, but there are many unknown masterpieces which I would like to introduce to everyone through the IIDX series, myself included.
By a strange circumstance, the vocals were sung by Othello.
It's a new and charming take that BEMANI vocalists haven't done yet.

(In response to D.J.TAKA's comments)
So in that sense, I think this song also plays a part in the keyword "MUSIC" in this project.
Depending on the generation, the original song's image will remain strong, so this version doesn't seem to be consistent with that... In response to D.J.TAKA's comments, I guess this is the movie.
Although this "full of stars" movie contains a light but casual feeling, TAKA seems to be fond of it despite his recently dry demeanor.
Hmm, I have some thoughts about it. I see...
