Japanese

僕らが繋ぐ世界
聞こえるなら手をかざして

＊　きっかけは　ささいなこと
　　軽い気持ちで集い始め
　　気が付けばここまでこれたけれど
　　少し照れくさいね

　　思い返しても　泣けるかな？
　　忙しい日々に追われて
　　辛くても　笑い飛ばして
　　さぁ  あのステージへ行こう

　　記者会見に始まり
　　君の言葉を信じて
　　深刻な　問題も
　　笑顔に変えて来たよ　ずっと僕ら

　　騙したり　騙されても
　　力強く　押し返す
　　胸に　刻んだ言葉で
　　どんなに　辛い罰（こと）も
　　乗り越えて

※　僕らが繋ぐ世界
　　聞こえるなら手をかざして
　　音楽（ヒカリ）は消えないから
　　輝くから　空を目指そう

　　とこまでも

Song Production Information

original mix

DJ YOSHITAKA

The 10th anniversary, thank you!
I included the lyrics, everyone, please read!
The comment may be short, but the lyrics are included! Yeah!
By the way, the title of the email sent to Neko with the lyrics was "Emotional lyrics".

dj TAKA

Ten years ago, beatnation Records was born from the idea that of making a label, a new thing in BEMANI.

The origin of the label name was taken from a label in beatmania IIDX: the beatmania IIDX 3rd style side POP (the POP above the speaker) catchphrase was "CYBER-beat-NATION".

We have been pursuing entertainment with the motto of bringing fun not only with music, but also with press conferences, talk shows, quiz shows, spoof movies, etc....

The seven artists who were gathered have spectacular talents, each with a different talent, and each has enough strength to not lose to the other six people.

It was worth the effort to keep steadily working, as rookie DJs who caught our attention have appeared, and the number of younger people who started composing music with the goal of entering beatnation Records has increased.

beatnation RHYZE was created because of this.

Furthermore, SOUND VOLTEX FLOOR launched by DJ YOSHITAKA was opened to reach more creators, and even more new talent is discovered.

These new talented creators themselves also requested to start activities in places other than music games, and overseas famous DJs also professed the influence from beatnation, so when we noticed, in the broad electronic dance music scene, we became to have influential power to say that we are a big force in our country.

All thanks to talented creators who started and moved beatnation Records.

Ten years endowed with a lot of talent.

"crew" means "friends", but also means "a member of a ship", so the song title was given with the idea that we are members who joined the same beatnation ship and continued traveling a long voyage together.

By the way, it is OK to board, so will you be part of the crew of this ship?

Nekomata Master

In the past ten years we have done many things, such as eating sushi and holding press conferences, using various ideas and approaches. "I want to do this! I want to accomplish this!" was my strong feeling, as I am really pleased to be involved in the production of the anthem song to honor the 10th anniversary.

Looking back to the past with the A and B melodies, standing at point zero with the interlude, and singing with the climax, that is "crew", packed with 10 years of history and with 10 years of future.

Please look forward to the entertainment brought by the universality of beatnation and the innovative ideas of the seven members!
