Lyrics

Japanese

夏の終わり　海のクラゲ　刺され腫れた肌が眩しい
14才の逃亡　大人達に従い慕われ　舌かんで血が出た
バイクは速くて二輪車　速いのはエンジンとタイヤと"まもる君"だ
けれど大人はわかってくれない　そうさ　秩序という名の木漏れ日

ah〜ah〜
若さ！　突撃！　上昇！　港！
天城　登れよ! x8

(Choir : ONE TEA 安い!　君よ　シンディー)

Romaji

natsu no owari umi no kurage sasare hareta hada ga mabushii
14sai no toubou otonatachi ni shitagai shitaware shitakan de chi ga deta
BIKE wa hayakute nirinsha hayai no wa ENGINE to TIRE to "Mamoru-kun" da
keredo otona wa wakatte kurenai sou sa chitsujo to iu na no komorebi

ah~ ah~
wakasa! totsugeki! joushou! minato!

Amagi noboreyo!!! x8

(Chorus: ONE TEA yasui! kimi yo CINDY)

English

The end of summer; jellyfish at the beach; brilliant, sun-tanned bodies
A 14 year old fugitive who wants adults to listen to him, biting his tongue until it bleeds
My bike is a fast two-wheeler; the engine, tires, and "Mamoru-kun" make it fast
But the adults don't understand this is like sunlight through the leaves of "order"

ah~ ah~
Youth! Assault! Growth! The harbor!

Climb Mt. Amagi! x8

"One Tea is cheap! It's you, Cindy"

Song Connections / Remixes

None.

Trivia

According to Akira Yamaoka, the person who played the drums in DANCER was a friend of his, who were in a band together called Wedding Death. The band was formed to perform at a friend's wedding to play Death Metal music instead of ballads [1].
DANCER's video was also shot in the same studio where memories' video was recorded [2].
DANCER is unlockable in beatmania IIDX INFINITAS (2020) from February 2nd, 2022 after purchasing its charts with BITs.

Themes like "school", "friendship", "restriction", "discipline", and "adults".
I wanted to try writing a song like this once!

Video Production Information

KAKKI

The members of DE VOL, led by YAMAOKA, performed as special guests.
This video was filmed somewhere in Tokyo. I was able to take footage of roaring drumsticks flying, which was something that cannot be described with words.
From these precious impressions, I did my best to not modify the movie with original footage, and created an image of an invitation to another dimension that is real but actually isn't.
While I was editing, I also seemed to travel to another dimension many times. (It's dangerous)
"Don't think, feel!!"
This summarizes the feeling of this movie.
