Lyrics

Japanese

woo get on!woo get on!

髮切った 昨日から
なにかかわった気がしてる

朝の光感じて めざめた私の目の前ひろがっている

地下室から誰かのこえ それは本当の心のこえ
何もかわらない日常 押しつぶされて行く

woo get on!

動けない 座りこんだまま
普通になれない わからないままただ繰り返して
あの時間の向こうへget on beat!
woo get on!Ah!

Romaji

woo get on! woo get on!

kami kitta kinou kara
nani ka kawatta kigashiteru

asa no hikari kanjite mezameta watashi no me no mae hirogatteiru

chikashitsu kara dare ka no koe sore wa hontou no kokoro no koe
nanimo kawaranai nichijou oshi tsubusarete yuku

woo get on!

ugokenai suwari konda mama
futsuu ni narenai wakaranai mama tada kurikaeshite
ano jikan no mukou he get on beat!

woo get on! Ah!

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

"ON" is a temporary unit formed for IIDX 2nd style.
Whether or not they reunite depends on everyone's fan support.
The sound and video production are usually done separately, but this song was an experiment in doing both at once, and I think the recording process was a lot of fun and enjoyable.
Since the video was completed quite well, I wonder if some people may have mistaken ON as actual new artists?

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

We filmed this movie on a Sunday in the second half of August at Q-STUDIO in Nerima, Tokyo, where the recording took place.
Although a music video centered on the vocalists is a very basic method in music video production, this was my first time actually producing it, so I was very careful throughout the entire process until the end.
Having said that...
The day before, we filmed Second Style(Hip Hop Paradise), so I ended up doing all the work I planned to do that day during the night, and I stayed up all night...
Nevertheless, I took a nap but ended up oversleeping, and when I woke up, the fine summer weather (intense heat) of the previous day was even stronger than before...
Worst of all, all I had prepared was a camera and a tripod, and I had no plan at all...
To make things worse, I was over an hour and a half late for my first meeting with MAKO and NORI from ON...
However...
(About two weeks later)
When we displayed it at the 37th AM Show, we set up a panel which introduced the tie-up artists, and two customers that saw the Get on Beat video were looking for ON.
Hooray!
