Game Size
Move on up. Let your body feel the beat. Come on wake up better energize your feet. And in the back of your mind her smile burning bright so bright. Just reach out with open arms you'll be the STAR tonight. Get with it! Vitalize! You gotta chance it. You know it's too late when you're dead now man. Maximize! A shining star above. You know that it's time to give good love.
Long Version
Move on up. Let your body feel the beat. Come on wake up better energize your feet. And in the back of your mind her smile burning bright so bright. Just reach out with open arms you'll be the STAR tonight. Get with it! Vitalize! You gotta chance it. You know it's too late when you're dead now man. Maximize! A shining star above. You know that it's time to give good love. Rock Away. Let the music set you free. Hey now shake down, gotta realize your dream. So keep your eye on the road ahead stretching so, so far. Just put on your fighting face the moment has arrived! Get with it! Vitalize! You gotta chance it. You know it's too late when you're dead now man. Maximize! A shining star above. You know that it's time to give good love. |

Musician's Room 2
From KEYBOARDMANIA 2nd MIX, this song was created by SPHINX. This song has a standard American hard rock taste, so by all means~, we really wanted to play it on drums in a session! We really wanted to play it on the guitar! We thought about this and included it. Please be completely intoxicated by the deep big toms before the chorus
KEYBOARDMANIA
It's very American. A rock song that follows the royal road.
Video Production Information
MORO
There's a guy zooming in and moving around in the screen. His name is "Rock". He was genuinely raised as a delinquent.
I wanted to make a movie in which lyrics and characters are mixed together, so I asked to let me have the vocal section for the production. Anyways, it was difficult to match the sounds and animations. Thanks to this, I think the overall character movements ended up being similar. Since it's a groovy song, I moved him around, anyways.
I'm certain that I was consciously making this video with drummania animations in my mind.
