Lyrics

Original Version

Distant sounds
Distant sounds
Dis-tan-t sounds

*Everybody wants a piece of the pie
More then me then meets the eye
'Cos I lose when I get with the eye, doin' the fly
'Cos I spy, image fly

This is the way we dance
This is the way we rock
This is the way we vibe

As we devastate
As we demonstrate-strate-strate

*

Distant sounds
Dis-tan-t sounds

Everybody wants a piece of the pie
More then me then meets the eye
'Cos I lose when I get with the eye, doin' the fly

* Repeat

*Everybody wants a piece of the pie

'Cos I lose when I get with the eye, doin' the fly
'Cos I spy, image fly

This is the way we dance
This is the way we rock
This is the way we vibe

As we devastate
As we demonstrate-strate-strate

*

Distant sounds
Dis-tan-t sounds

Song Production Information

Fujii

This is your standard UK underground garage that they consistently play at major clubs and events in London lately.
Recently, it's been called names like 2-step. It felt good to cry out, and I'm confident that this song will be popular in the beatmania series.

positive MA

This is the definitive version of UK underground garage!!
The music is good! The song is good! The cries are good!!
I just love Mark's skillful arrangement, his young sense, and his sad guitar echoes!!!

Video Production Information

Chihiro

I combined animations with elements close to the current beatmania series with ones that have a new feel to them.
I think it's an interesting composition, and has things you can sense directly with your eyes and things you can sense from within.
