Song Production Information
dj TAKA
I was still in elementary school when the original song became very popular.
While idol groups were at their peak, listening to Western music was the rage among the cutesy boys at the time, and I think they were saying that Japan was hopeless.
It's a light-hearted rearranged version with a sense of urgency that both the generation who knew and didn't know about those days and the generation who didn't know about it can enjoy.
I've packed all the interesting parts of this track in, so don't tell me your hands are getting tired. Hit me.
Video Production Information
VJ GYO
When I was working on the 3rd style, my mind and body were in Eurobeat (fast and powerful). It's been a whirlwind of activity, with dj TAKA's disgusting array of Eurobeat recordings I was screaming for a wish (and in fact, it's popular on a major level!), when talk of a tie-in with DANCE EXPRESS Hi-speed came up. That's already a very strong push in the staff.
This song is filled with the exhilaration of reaching to the heavens and the exhilaration of running through a vehicle (car, bike, bicycle... to each his own) at a pleasingly high speed (car, bike, bicycle... to each his own) and the exhilaration of seeing the beautiful, clear ocean in front of you.
For the movie, I tried to guess what my sister drove by in her car (which was very much appreciated by those in my department who love Eurobeat and cars), and I'm sure there are many people who actually want to drive to the beach on a sunny day while playing this song on the CD.
When doing so, be sure to obey traffic laws and drive safely.
