Lyrics

Japanese

行き先のない道を走って　僕ら二人だけの世界
窓ガラスに映る横顔　いつもより愛しくて

言いかけた言葉 風が攫った
掴めそうなくらい 空は近く

ドラマのような大人びた台詞を　考えても空白のままで
目が合って君が微笑んだ　それすらも嬉しくて

Romaji

ikisaki no nai michi wo hashitte bokura futari dake no sekai
mado GLASS ni utsuru yokogao itsumo yori itoshikute

iikaketa kotoba kaze ga saratta
tsukame sou na kurai sora wa chikaku

DRAMA no you na otonabita serifu wo kangaete mo kuuhaku no mama de
me ga atte kimi ga hohoenda sore sura mo ureshikute

Song Production Information

RoughSketch

Good morning, good day, and good night!
beatnation RHYZE and Notebook Records' RoughSketch here!

This time, the themes were "Car" and "Drive"!
I have a gold driving license, so I started making this song by reminiscing a place that I drived to once.
As you can see, it was nature! I imagined the feeling of driving on a vast field.
Singing is the car loving vocalist of No Tears, "Aikapin"!
I also asked her for lyrics this time! The sweet feeling of running feels so good!

About the "POPCORE" genre, POPCORE is a mix of happy hardcore and happy gabba of the 90's, a compilation of it was released in the Netherlands.
It sounded perfectly old school when I listened to it, so I made this song imagining a parallel world: "What if POPCORE would be made with the technology of 2017?"

Oh yeah! The title "LUV DRIVE" was named after a beatmania song that I always listened in the car since a long time ago.

I would be happy if you can play this song a lot! La~ la la la lalala♪

Aikapin

Everyone! Singer Aikapin here.
Following my previous appearance in "No tears" from "PENDUAL", I participate in beatmania IIDX again, woah. This is the second song!
I am very happy for this. Thank you very much.

This time, I was in charge of singing and lyrics.

"Drive song" was the main theme in production, so I was surrounded by the beautiful nature of Hokkaido where I was born and raised, while listening to the demo, I came up with an image of lightly running with someone next to me on a sunny day.

Running on the vacant road in Hokkaido, with no oncoming car, only the birds' voice can be heard, there are times when it seems like we are alone in the world.
I might feel very lonely if I am alone, but if I am with someone that I miss it would be very romantic.
This is the scene that I drew.

Drive to a distant place somewhere on a holiday, so I could write as much as possible without having to worry about anything, and would enjoy both producing and recording.
I am happy to complete a song that you can listen in various places and time, even in the game center, in the car, while walking, or when on a date.

Since my previous work, "No tears" was loved by many people, I am happy if you can love "LUV DRIVE" forever.

Play it a lot!
