Lyrics

A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
 
And now, open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
We are in Xanadu

An everlasting world and you're here with me, eternally

Xanadu, Xanadu
(Now we are here) in Xanadu

Now that I'm here
Now that you're near in Xanadu, Xanadu

SINGLE

This song is from a famous movie soundtrack. Please, step gently while thinking about that story.
But no, I have not seen that movie.

DOUBLE

With a low difficulty level, it should be the biggest opening in Double... thanks to its BPM. Everyone will get angry when I put the same steps in AFRONOVA~~.
