Lyrics
Japanese
壊れそうなほど熱を持った銀色の metalic heart 高鳴る鼓動 誘われ 久しぶりの幕開けさ 誰も止められない speed 散らし ホコリ立ててモザイク 僕の顔が見えるかい？ 燃え出した過去の記憶を 灰になるまで抱いて 地平線に未来響かすと誓ったのさ 夜明けを背に ※ I'm just going up 刺さる風も味方にして登る もう迷わない 本能のまま走る 後悔はいらない 妄想でもいいから叫ぶよ ※repeat

Song Production Information
TAKA
It's a very "Eight beat life!" song.
As all Gidadora fans are well aware, even though the "hi-hat" on the drums is ticked in eighth notes, it is barely audible in a live performance.
When I first started playing in a band, I wondered why everyone was beating that inaudible sound so hard, but in fact, that inaudible sound had a tremendous impact on the overall groove and sense of speed, and I decided to focus on the particulars of these great drummers.
Actually, I have never seen it played from the game, so I am not sure if I can actually play it, but anyone who can beat eights at this fast tempo must be able to aim for their debut as a beat rocker.

Asato Mifune
I tried my best not to be left behind by the coolness of the song.
It was nice to be able to portray a fighting adult woman, which is one of my favorite cool things.
I hope you enjoy playing with it.

I am Takatan, the person in charge of the movie.
This song has a great groove, so it was very easy to create the clip.
When I was listening to the song while looking at Asato Mifune's cool illustrations, the image came to me smoothly and I was able to create it swiftly.
After all, the drawings are amazing~. The music is amazing~.
