Lyrics
Leave, I'm not gonna stop you (Stop you...) But before you go, hurt me so I can forget you Say it wasn't love, say I was a fool Anything to tear me apart Why do you care? Why do you smile? Why are you holding me now? Kiss, kiss, kiss Kissing you one more time before... You walk out that door Wishing behind these lips, "Oh baby, please stay" (Please stay) Letting go of me, looking at the street Thought I could handle this moment But your love was good, so, so-so good And it's too much to lose Miss, miss, miss Missing you as you turn around Walking out that door My heart is crying out, "Oh baby, don't go" (Don't go) No, I won't tell you so Or that I love you, no... I'm gonna let you go Goodbye...

Song Production Information

NAOKI
This song, which has a very ballad-like sound, was originally made for Dance Maniax 2ndMIX.
I came up with the song's motifs by playing the piano and singing along.
Also, out of all the songs in my HYPER EUROBEAT series, it's the only one that hadn't been in beatmania.
There's also an unreleased version sung by one of my mainstay vocalists.
There may be a day where I unveil it somewhere.
Dance Maniax
This is a standard Eurobeat number which has the flow of BROKEN MY HEART from the previous game. With the female vocalist's emotional singing and a danceable sound which makes you feel excited now, there's no doubt you'll keep dancing, even if you aren't a dance freak. After the sudden excitement in the chorus, the last "Good bye......" phrase in the ending is sad. To DMX dancers in love, by all means, please choose this song.
Character Information
None.

It's a great song, isn't it? I've loved it since I was in charge of its movie in beatmaniaTHEFINAL. Since it's cliché to draw kissing animations, I made animations of scattering hearts.
The hair-fluttering woman who debuted in the beatmania series also appears in DDR in a movie. To those who know this woman's name, you're a BEMANI expert! Wonderful!
