Lyrics
You were standing there with your face against the wall Sighing and whispering, but the answer is call on me You take a look at one feeling you left behind Come in saying, life is so fast It don't matter this morning, move on It's what you want to do Then something came in stopping you You need more time, to never know that you were mine at some point Hold on! Stop wasting time on me Back into the light Wondering all the time How and what will be Hold your head up high Go now right now to the sky Go with all your pride And you won't be back Back into the light...

Song Production Information
Sota Fujimori
Hello! I'm Sota a.k.a. Sota Fujimori.
Although I've been active in other games such as DDR, I'm very happy to participate in the beatmania series this time.
About Back Into The Light, I'd like to introduce a small episode here. Actually, I composed this song as a ballad many years ago.
Although I had a friend sing this song for me, the vocals were recorded really well, so I thought it was wasteful if I removed them.
And last year at the DDR Live velfarre event, I performed a song called Feelings Won't Fade, so I tried to increase and add the vocal tempo of the live version, and it coincidentally fit perfectly.
I can use this!! And when I thought about it, I rewrote the song until it was completed as Back Into The Light.
That's why it's a separate song to Feelings Won't Fade, so I also changed the song title♪ Many BEMANI songs are cool and distinctive, so I decided to create an easy to understand pop song this time.
However, it also has a tricky side with detailed synthesizer sounds included, so please try to listen to it again.
The beat mania 10th Remix CD released this month includes a remix by SLAKE, so be sure to check it out. (It's quite cool♪) For that reason, please remember me from now on （＾＾）

My feelings are filled with expectations, like when the moment of blooming is approaching.
On the other hand, I tried to create a feeling of being awakened, as if I pressed on the heartbeat of an unresponsive heart.
I'm carrying such two selves...
The beginning of spring or summer. Such situations easily occur in these seasons.
If you're celebrating, use this song as BGM. It's perfect to welcome those greatest moments!
