Japanese

呼び止められた気がした  懐かしい香りの影に
少しだけ優しさ残して

お互いの環境も生き方もすべて違うけれど
結んだこの手を解いた

遠くに感じた  未知なる道歩んで行くから
手を伸ばして  今

君に会いたいよ　全部見えなくなっても
この先  世界が変わったとしても
2人で描いた  叶わない景色
少しずつでも超えられたら･･･｡

手にした君からの願いすべて捨てて
背を向ける真実という存在を

君に会いたいよ　許されなくても
でも戻れなくて
もう帰れなくて
塗り替えられてく2人の世界

Romaji

yobitomerare taki ga shita natsukashii kaori no kage ni

Song Production Information

Starving Trancer

Hello, all BEMANI fans.
I am Starving Trancer (Sutabingu Transer).
Starving = "hungry", but it's been such a long time that I have forgotten what "hunger" is, so please remember.

I am not really good at talking, so please don't mince my words too much.

So, I have been a BEMANI fan for a long time! I've always wanted to work with L.E.D. on a song together!! My tension was at MAX when I was waiting to hear who I was working with. When I heard it was L.E.D., I shouted and ran out wildly into a nearby garden by myself.

The music that L.E.D. made was very inspiring, with a strong melody and a beautiful choir section.
I decided to make the song more towards a parapara style (° Д °) /.

Please enjoy everyone.
I want to play as soon as possible!!

Mayumi Morinaga

Hi everyone! I am Mayumi Morinaga.
This will be my first time participating in this! This is a great honor.

Because my name is Morinaga, I was called by another "Morinaga" to ask if I could sing!
This Morinaga asked if I could sing a song to a trance dance track.
When I first listened to this song by L.E.D., the stimulation was so much that it felt like a truck had hit the back of my head...
I think that made for an interesting memory.... (laughs)

I was in! I remember making the lyrics automatically as in autopilot.
When you play, make sure you have your bare instincts up to avoid death!!

From the island, I thank you!
