Lyrics
Japanese
Love or Truth This is what I prove between me & you Love or Truth whichever you choose it's for me & you Baby don't fade away 変わらないものは 何もないから 流れのままに 受け止めようよ Take it as you wish to be 言葉にならない 恋もあるから Love or Truth 覚えてるか? when I used to dance with the devil どういった風の吹き回し、なぜそう… あらくれ、帰りは夜中、寝付き 起きれば 日が暮れ、気まぐれ、愛されてた自覚ねえ You used to fascinate me 理想のイメージ、when you sang for me 綺麗に、but lately ろくに逢ってない been having sleepless nights 裏切った 期待 何を求めてたのか、wanted to be one of the まさか、と言わせる men to be 気付けば、乱れた姿 君に耳貸さなかった、俺悪かった 冷たくなるばかり、直接責めずに 侮辱し合う日々が続き you know the way you and I gotta be 振り回されるなよ 言葉に Baby words get in the way いつか懐かしい 景色に出会って 思い出したら やさしくなれる Then you'll realize & see 愛と真実は ひとつになれる

Song Production Information
dj TAKA
When I first heard this song, I was really impressed by the sound's beauty.
I've been a personal fan of m-flo since their indie days, and I think this song is one of their best among them.
When creating the game data, our top priority was to not ruin the song's beauty, so I remember struggling a lot to make the sound as good as possible.
Video Production Information
VJ GYO
Despite being under endless camera flashes and intense press coverage, LISA continues to silently walk past them.
While passing by each other in the middle of the corridor, TAKU just stared at them with his lonely eyes, without being chased or noticed by anyone.
This is one of the many m-flo music videos included in the IIDX series, but unlike the others, this was created as a drama which feels like a very serious situation.
This elegant and high quality movie, which develops slowly, alongside with the song, makes you feel like something is pulling at your heartstrings.
