Lyrics

Game Size

At the regular hour in that place,
regular crazy guys are waiting for me.
At the regular night on that load,
everybody is looking forward to seeing for me.

Going on the stage with my car,
the roaring starts the rabble buzzing.
I'll make all of you realize that I'm so unusual.

Let's start and go! because I'm a "Speedy Cat".
Give you my desire.
Splendid like a fire. Blow your mind,
and let's speed up high and high!

Crazy that usual
'cause I'm a "Speedy Cat".

Long Version

At the regular hour in that place, regular crazy guys are waiting for me. At the regular night on that load, everybody is looking forward to seeing for me. Going on the stage with my car, the roaring starts the rabble buzzing. I'll make all of you realize that I'm so unusual. Let's start and go! Because I'm a "Speedy Cat". Give you my desire, Splendid like a fire. Blow your mind, and let's speed up high and high! Crazy that usual 'cause I'm a "Speedy Cat". On the high way steer your heart around The rumbling machine goes through the darkness In the corner edging on the road Every night I'm looking forward to riding with you Going on the stage with my car, the roaring starts the rabble buzzing I'll make all of you realize that I'm so unusual Let's start and go! Because I'm a "Speedy Cat" Give you my desire, Splendid like a fire Blow your mind, and let's speed up high and high! Crazy that usual 'cause I'm a "Speedy Cat"

Song Production Information

Y&Co.;

This is an energetic new song!
The image is "sexy female racers seen on a mountain pass".
I was quite nervous when I was working on the unfinished song (laughs).
A husky voice interacts with this high-speed melancholic track, which I think it feels very good, so please take care of it.
Special thanks "ERIKA"!

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

I initially planned for this video to include a digest of the main story's first half, while serving as the opening movie to introduce the characters, appearing next to each other.
From that concept, I gathered the materials I had previously prepared, matched them with the song, then carefully selected, cut, and connected them... that's the method I tried.

Coordinated by TAKA, this brilliant opening contains an original Eurobeat song which is filled with a high-speed & high-tension driving sensation... as we asked Yokota Shoukai (Y&Co.;) to create it, his song and lyrics exactly fit this image! And that's how I created this video.
