Lyrics

Girl, give it up go and run away
To the arms of a magic day
Where you can stay,
Where you can find yourself (find yourself)

Lose your fear cause there is no one here
Do what you want to do, there's nobody stopping you, no
Give yourself and let the music take you far
Then you will know who you are.

Baby, gettiing higher, we're getting higher
Moving with the vibe,
Let the rhythm make you fly.
You are the one, Baby, isn't this fun tonight.

You and I
I know we can move if we try
You know this is how it should be...

Baby getting higher, we're getting higher
Open up your eyes,
Everyday is a surprise
You are the one, Baby, the only one tonight.

Baby getting higher, we're getting higher,
Start again from here
And an new you will appear
You are the one, Baby, isn't this fun tonight.

Song Production Information

beatmania IIDX

NAOKI

I made this with the intention of creating a high-quality dance pop song, and I consider it to be my hidden gem.
Although I created various paths, it would make me happy if you can feel a new perspective of my music which contrasts my existing image, even with a bright and light dance pop song like this.

DanceDanceRevolution 4thMIX Official Website

NAOKI MAEDA

I created this song with a fresh wind at my back, while fully loaded with happy feelings (laughs), and I think it's a song that skillfully intertwines the beautiful flowing melody with a comfortable dance beat. When you're tired of playing hard, isn't it an ideal song to cool down to?

Untranslated.

CS Information Data

DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME CS (North America)

"HIGHER" by NM feat. SUNNY debuted on Dance Dance Revolution KONAMIX and is a happy song that will truly lift your spirits higher. Check out the new "next morning mix" in this game as well.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

The IIDX team leader has the authority to create the game, but I recently noticed the high difficulty level of songs as if I was furiously playing for score. I noticed that this song is easier to clear compared to NAOKI's previous songs, as it serves as a cooldown track because of the transparent and refreshing sound button overlaps.
The fluffy sensation of soaring higher into the sky resembles a balloon more than an airplane.
