It has a pretty cheery rhythm, and feels kind of like a song for a trip down south and evoked the image of a long journey, so I thought "THE SAFARI", which has kind of a deep ring to it, fit it pretty nicely. From the sounds of the comments above, it seems he really likes it too - I'm glad!

It'd be nice if dj TAKA said "thanks", though.
I'm slightly thankful to dj TAKA.

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

Lion is tiger's old rave partner who once seemed to shake a chest, but now transitioned into a brilliant house tracker who participates as a DJ in Nishi-Azabu.
I received comments from him today.

Lion Musashi

"Thank you for all your support.
Everyone keeps saying "SAFARI SAFARI", but my song is called "THE SAFARI", so say it properly.
GRR!"

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

dj TAKA was requested by Lion to "add the song title to this song in your way", but he just came and asked me what to do.
According to dj TAKA, Lion seems to be quite a scary person, so even if he says we can decide on the song title, if he doesn't like it, he'll get somewhat angry... that's what he said.
But in the end, there wasn't a direct connection with what he thought...

The entire song has a bright and energetic groove, and images of a southern adventure and a big trip came to mind, so I named it "THE SAFARI", which has a powerful ring when considering its nuance.
From reading Lion's above comment, it's really great that he was attached to it!

I'm slightly thankful to dj TAKA.
