Lyrics

English

She can make it happen, if there is good reason
All it takes is strong belief.
She can make it go away, through a state of mine
She plays that game.

Tribal retribution, it's the resolution
Following her destiny.
And there's nowhere to go, when she's losing control
Watch the start of the show, it's gone beyond believing.
All inside there's a spot that ignites
When the world is tough, she will set it alight
Making a stand, taking the laws in these hands.
Giving the path to command

And now they search high and low for the gift that she holds
And who's going to win when the story unfolds?
This organization, it stays underground
The police department won't rest 'till she's found
Go on a journey, into this scene
Vigilante, doing her best to survive, to find
Watching it ignite...

We're caught up in the crossfire
Lost inside the atmosphere
Challenging to your every fear
To find out if it's right or wrong

We'll journey into Tokyo
Travel through the danger zone
On the way to the unknown
Controlling these powers so strong

She can make it happen.

NΦ CRIME's BEGINNER chart was removed in beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem. However, the same chart was revived one game later in beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle.

Song Production Information

NAOKI MAEDA

This song can also be found as the theme song for the KONAMI Weekly mobile web site (http://w573.jp) webcomic, "Cross Fire".

J-POP + W-POP + dance + rock ... This is my style of sound, I think that it will sound better on a good sound system. (Royal Road will be the theme song for the anime). This was the theme song for the anime to this point.

C×F as the artist doesn't have any meaning, it was there to represent Cross Fire. Sorry.

Video Production Information

None.
