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
The original song is from a famous movie soundtrack. Please, step gently while thinking about that story.
But no, I haven't seen that movie.

DOUBLE
With a low difficulty level, it should be the biggest opening in Double... thanks to its BPM. Everyone would be upset if I put the same steps in AFRONOVA~~.
