Lyrics

So don't let troubles bring you down
Leaving the foundation of our love
So don't let troubles bring you down
Leaving the foundation of our dreams

I'm so in love with you
Whatever you wanna do it's alright with me
You make me feel so brand new

You're the one I need tonight
And I wish upon a star
This love is for real
Let's stay together

Don't let go
Cause it's just a step from heaven
Soon you'll find

And this trip of love is on our sides
We can be the lucky ones

Foundation of our love's pop'n music 6 banner.

• Foundation of our love is the first appearance of TRAN in the pop'n music series. Her design was redone for pop'n music by tera and shio, including darker blue eyes and the addition of larger, more individual fingers on each of her hands.
  • Currently, Foundation of our love is the only original composed pop'n music song with TRAN as the rival character.
• According to dj TAKA, Foundation of our love was first made as a long song, and then edited to game size for pop'n music. (This is why the game size edit of the song ends in a fade-out.)

beatmania IIDX

pop'n music 6 song. Because it wasn't in 8, I resurrected it in IIDX.

Actually, this song is among my very favorites.

Though if you listen, you might catch a glimpse of some poor composition at times in the song (laughs), and what I consider mediocre melodies/phases at times to me.

This is a Level 1 song on LIGHT7, so I recommend it to those starting off to be recommended to play this song by their friends.
