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)

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"

- 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.

AKIRA YAMAOKA
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.
