Lyrics

Nothing's gonna happen unless you take a chance
But when things turn around
We'll see the lights, glow in the dark 
I know this will be the turnin' point

Beginning of somethin' new will make
Everything starts to shine
And I believe that the lights will
Never fade away

Song Production Information

Sota Fujimori feat. dj MAX STEROID

I made a song with a fast, high-paced tempo.
There are a few tricks in the song, such as the irregular music beat and the drum solo.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

Every single sound is sent by electrical signals to the brain, when then gives off a feeling of pleasantness.

I made this video with such an image in mind.
Instead of focusing on something mechanical, distorted, or strained, I decided to focus on something more random.
