Lyrics

Japanese

夏の終わり　海のクラゲ　刺され腫れた肌が眩しい
14才の逃亡　大人達に従い慕われ　舌かんで血が出た
バイクは速くて二輪車　速いのはエンジンとタイヤと"まもる君"だ
けれど大人はわかってくれない　そうさ　秩序という名の木漏れ日

ah〜ah〜
若さ！　突撃！　上昇！　港！
天城　登れよ! x8

(Choir : ONE TEA 安い!　君よ　シンディー)

Romaji

natsu no owari umi no kurage sasare hareta hada ga mabushii
14sai no toubou otonatachi ni shitagai shitaware shitakan de chi ga deta
BIKE wa hayakute nirinsha hayai no wa ENGINE to TIRE to "Mamoru-kun" da
keredo otona wa wakatte kurenai sou sa chitsujo to iu na no komorebi

ah~ ah~
wakasa! totsugeki! joushou! minato!

Amagi noboreyo!!! x8

(Chorus: ONE TEA yasui! kimi yo CINDY)

English

The end of summer; jellyfish at the beach; brilliant, sun-tanned bodies
A 14 year old fugitive who wants adults to listen to him, biting his tongue until it bleeds
My bike is a fast two-wheeler; the engine, tires, and "Mamoru-kun" make it fast
But the adults don't understand this is like sunlight through the leaves of "order"

ah~ ah~
Youth! Assault! Growth! The harbor!

Climb Mt. Amagi! x8

"One Tea is cheap! It's you, Cindy"

Trivia

• DANCER's video was also shot in the same studio where memories' video was recorded [2].
• DANCER is unlockable in beatmania IIDX INFINITAS (2020) from February 2nd, 2022 after purchasing its charts with BITs.

"School", "friendship", "restriction", "order", "adults". I wanted to try writing a song like this once!

Video Production Information

KAKKI

This is a special appearance by the members of DE VOL, which is lead by Mr. YAMAOKA. This was filmed on location in the metro area. The pictures I took were like when drumsticks go flying mid-strike; it makes a noise you can't really put into words. Keeping that impression at the front of my mind, I did my best to make a video that built up an image of another dimension, looking just like our reality but something entirely different. My editor also looked like he was going into another dimension during editing ... it was bad. If I had to sum the feel of this movie up in once sentence, it'd be something like "Don't think about it, feel it!!"
