Lyrics

Groovin' with some energy
Takin' it beyond the stars
Everything here is so clear
Gotta move beyond no fear
In life you know we make mistakes
Don't look back learn from the past
Even with snakes in the grass
You'll know when it's time to run
ready for the future
appreciate the present
Nothing's gonna hurt ya
Life is just a lesson
Go beyond yeah really far
1 2 3 and four
open up a brand new door
Inner lion starts to roar
aaaaha!! it's time for more
you know it's time for action
Yes it's time for more
Action and reaction
Bam! let it blow up
Always ready for action
Hey time to wake up
wake up it's time to get up!!

Shooting straight like a Harpoon
Pouring down like the monsoon
Feel the heat rise like lava
No time for all the drama
After all the rain
Then the sun will shine
Even with the pain
The heart is getting stronger

The rhythm's gonna get ya
You know it's gonna get ya
Rhythm's gonna get ya
you know it's gonna get ya!!

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

Actually, I started making this song as "26th style", but due to various circumstances, it was postponed to 27th. With that in mind, I have the impression that it was a long time ago when I created this song, and that there are a lot of episodes that I could write about, but I feel like I've forgotten them.

For the 20th anniversary of IIDX, I think it was about remaking early songs, but the so-called anthems such as ".59", "Colors", and "ABSOLUTE" have been remade by various people, so I decided to start with an unexpected song, "Second Style".

The original song is already quite up-tempo for hip-hop, but I raised the BPM further and polished the track to make it groovier and more trap-like, but I made the best use of the original song's phrases and tones, and most of the scratch sounds used here are just the sampled sounds that were used back then.

Some of my friends appeared in the movie, but the person who participated in the rap during the recording was a completely different person. He is a great rapper, B-BANDJ, a former MC of MONDO GROSSO who participated in the beatmania CORE REMIX, so you can't go wrong.
