Lyrics

Looking back when I was a child & dreamed.
Growth and maturity would come to me.
Having faith it would set me free and fly away.

Looking back when I was a child & dreamed.
Growth and maturity would come to me.
Having faith it would set me free and fly away to everywhere.

I could do anything.
I could get anything if I want.
I could get love from the one I love easily

Looking back when I was a child & dreamed.
Growth and maturity would come to me.
Having faith it would set me free and fly away.

I'll get some beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful days.
After all I've come to be a man.

Song Connections / Remixes

None.

Trivia

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

Fantastic Plastic Machine... It's the solo project of Tomoyuki Tanaka, one of Japan's leading bossa nova and lounge artists, producers, composers, arrangers, and remixers. His distinct sound is often considered fashionable, and is highly acclaimed worldwide.

I've previously seen him DJ in clubs, and his style centered on groovy and great house tracks, provided a very high DJ standard.

The track that FPM, who is literally a big artist, allowed us to use this time is "Beautiful Days", from his album "beautiful.". The male and female duet vocals are impressive, and the arrangement truly suits his fashionable style. It's a good masterpiece in creating atmosphere, and it is very instructive for songwriting.

Its game data also feels very comfortable to play.

Video Production Information

For those who discovered this song in IIDX 6th for the first time, I would appreciate if you picked up the album introduced by dj TAKA, "beautiful.".
The lyrics are in English, but a Japanese translation is also included, so I really hope you'll repeatedly listen to it while carefully reading the lyrics in your room on a quiet night.

Actually, I intentionally avoided including content which referenced the lyrics during the movie production in the hope that you would do so.
Part of my reasons for fully incorporating TRAN was because I wanted it to be enjoyed as a unique aspect of IIDX, but also to evoke empathy or receive sympathy in your imagination... There's another reason why I changed direction from my intended aim.
It's an abstract pattern which gives the impression of asking for an explanation.
However, because I made it in a hurry, the visual appears a bit off, and I constantly regret that...

TRAN casually moves with the sound.
I would appreciate if you think, "What's the concept...".
The answer is in the album.
But, it's not the only answer.
Please receive FPM's real message directed to each and every one of you.
