Song Production Information
Nakamura
Thomas' vocals are hot and interesting in this song.
There was even an incident during the recording in which Thomas' headphones came off in excitement.
How about you all solve this lack of exercise in this physically energetic song?

"ROCKI'N PARADISE"... Mmmm, it is indeed a song that requires a lot of physical strength (lol). I wanted to create the image of a group of silly friends doing various things in a lively manner...what do you think?
By the way, this young lady is exactly my kind of thing!

B.T.
It's a lively and fun song throughout. I am very curious as to what he's mumbling about at the beginning and the end... When you play, don't forget the sequence that comes in after the high laugh at the end!
