"Be Rock U" is a different version of my song "1998", which was included in DDR extreme. A world with requests, and a world without requests... When the front and back sides of that world overlap, they ideally become one. In other words, it can be said that I mainly intend for my music to be separated as two versions.<br>

"Be Rock U (1998 burst style)" is one song which made me aware of that feeling, the origin of my music as "Rock", and the fusion of my "dance" sound heard over time, which is the music I'm potentially aiming towards. The vocalists have a different charm than [[BeForU]], and it was my first time using a four-member female unit.

We didn't have a meeting in advance, so I hurriedly filmed them wearing plain clothes in a small, in-house recording studio, while filled with guilt, but the four members appeared in high spirits!<br>
