Well, this song is a collaboration with C-Show, and when I first discussed with him about what style of song should we go with, I suddently said "I want to do an old school song~", and C-Show agreed.

Video Production Information

BEMANI Designers

In STEP UP from this game had Hearty as Q-pro, and I was secretly planning to have her appear again in a C-Show song that fitted her.
So, this time we have Hearty going out to the club.
Since this song is a collaboration with Maozon, I recruited Lavie, Hearty's friend, to join her in the movie.
She likes an atmosphere reminiscent of the 90's... or whatever you call it, that's how she feels.
