When I was working on the 3rd style, my mind and body were in Eurobeat (fast and powerful). It's been a whirlwind of activity, with dj TAKA's disgusting array of Eurobeat recordings I was screaming for a wish (and in fact, it's popular on a major level!), when talk of a tie-in with DANCE EXPRESS Hi-speed came up. That's already a very strong push in the staff.<br>
During the production of 3rd style, as a whirlwind of (high-speed and powerful) Eurobeat continued to race through my heart and body, dj TAKA repeatedly requested for more Eurobeat songs to be included (actually, they're popular on a major level!), so when the idea for a tie-up with DANCE EXPRESS Hi-speed came up, I immediately pressured the staff to include them.<br>
This song is filled with the exhilaration of reaching to the heavens and the exhilaration of running through a vehicle (car, bike, bicycle... to each his own) at a pleasingly high speed (car, bike, bicycle... to each his own) and the exhilaration of seeing the beautiful, clear ocean in front of you.<br>
This song especially feels good to listen to in a high-speed vehicle (cars, motorcycles, bicycles... to each of their own), and feels refreshing, like racing to reach the heavens, and feels uplifting, like viewing a beautiful and very clear sea ahead.<br>
For the movie, I tried to guess what my sister drove by in her car (which was very much appreciated by those in my department who love Eurobeat and cars), and I'm sure there are many people who actually want to drive to the beach on a sunny day while playing this song on the CD.<br>
For the movie, I tried to aim for a girl racing in her car (I was very happy to see many people in my department who loved Eurobeat and cars), and I think there are many people who actually want to play this song on your CD player while driving to the sea on a slightly sunny day.<br>
When doing so, be sure to obey traffic laws and drive safely.

I was still in elementary school when the original song was a big hit.
During the peak of idol groups, it was trendy among adolescent boys at that time to listen to Western music, and I feel like they were saying that Japan was somewhat useless~.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

During the production of 3rd style, as a whirlwind of (high-speed and powerful) Eurobeat continued to race through my heart and body, dj TAKA repeatedly requested for more Eurobeat songs to be included (actually, they're popular on a major level!), so when the idea for a tie-up with DANCE EXPRESS Hi-speed came up, I immediately pressured the staff to include them.
This song especially feels good to listen to in a high-speed vehicle (cars, motorcycles, bicycles... to each of their own), and feels refreshing, like racing to reach the heavens, and feels uplifting, like viewing a beautiful and very clear sea ahead.
For the movie, I tried to aim for a girl racing in her car (I was very happy to see many people in my department who loved Eurobeat and cars), and I think there are many people who actually want to play this song on your CD player while driving to the sea on a slightly sunny day.
