Game Size
Shakin' off the sandals and worries from my feet and mind Greeting the waves of the tropical aquarium of the gods Watchin' us from high above, the birds sing the song of love Fallin' are the morning rays Painting summer colours on you and me Hiding what we used to be The slaves of life We ran from yesterday Feeling freedom everywhere Skin deep Sunshine dance under the blue blue sky Embraced by the loving of our planet Sunshine dance, get started 1 2 3! Hope this happiness will last forever, YEAH! (rap) Dive into the burning mode of sundance Splash through the waterfall of love trance Celebrate this moment with laughter We're gonna be happy ever after (refrain) Sunshine dance under the blue blue sky Embraced by the loving of our planet Sunshine dance, get started 1 2 3! Hope this happiness will last forever, YEAH! (refrain) You can dance! You can dance! You can dance! Dance with me
Long Version
Shakin' off the sandals and worries from my feet and mind Greeting the waves of the tropical aquarium of the gods Watchin' us from high above, the birds sing the song of love Fallin' are the morning rays Painting summer colours on you and me Hiding what we used to be The slaves of life We ran from yesterday Feeling freedom everywhere Skin deep Sunshine dance under the blue blue sky Embraced by the loving of our planet Sunshine dance, get started 1 2 3! Hope this happiness will last forever, YEAH! Takin' off what covers the body and soul of us two Meeting the fish in the way that we came to this world when we're born Walkin' into Chapter One, we cowrite our book of love Blowing are the morning winds Printing summer patterns on you and me Granting what we want to be Artists of life Designing future days Paradise is where we are And will be Sunshine dance across the white white sand Joining forces with the spinning planet Sunshine dance keep moving 1 2 3! Nothing's never ever gonna stop us, YEAH! (rap) Dive into the burning mode of sundance Splash through the waterfall of love trance Celebrate this moment with laughter We're gonna be happy ever after (refrain) Sunshine dance under the blue blue sky Embraced by the loving of our planet Sunshine dance, get started 1 2 3! Hope this happiness will last forever, YEAH! (refrain) You can dance! You can dance! You can dance! Dance with me |

Song Production Information
Togo
Cuba, as well as countries like Brazil in South America, are a treasure trove of music. From mambo, rumba, salsa, bossa nova, and reggae, to son, merengue, calypso, and so on, they have a wide variety of musical and rhythmic styles. Within peoples' lives and histories, dance music is closely tied to them. And as someone who loves southern countries, I long to be there.
As such, I created a pop song that incorporates Brazilian samba and carnival rhythms, which are popular in Japan as well. Continuing from HUNTING FOR YOU from GOTTAMIX, the project consists of Scotty D., who wrote the lyrics, Megu on vocals, and myself (Togo), who wrote the song. Our old friend YOKAN did the arrangement and joined us on the saxophone, and it turned out to be an incredibly fun session. We all went wild during the latter half of the long version (on track 23)!
