Song Production Information
NAOKI
Before I created this song, I re-listened to all the songs I made so far in the DDR series.
I thought about regaining the feelings I had back then, when I constantly worked on the DDR series.
The numbers I made 8 years ago sounded very fresh, and my past style made me feel pressured... in such mental state, I've created this HYPER-EUROBEAT number after a long time.
Although I've made Eurobeat-styled songs since CAN'T STOP FALLIN' IN LOVE, compared to music back then, and as a sign of the times, trance elements are incorporated in this arrangement.
Video Production Information
None.
