Song Production Information
Nakamura
Thomas' vocals are passionate and interesting in this song.
There was even an incident during the recording in which Thomas' headphones came off in excitement.
How about you all solve the lack of exercise in this physically energetic song?
B.T.
It's a lively and fun song throughout. I'm very curious about what he's mumbling at the beginning and end... When you play, don't forget the sequence that comes in after the high laughter at the end!

"ROCKI'N PARADISE"... Hmmm, it's indeed a song that requires a lot of physical strength (laughs). I wanted to create the image of a group of silly friends doing various things in a lively manner... What do you think?
By the way, this young lady is exactly my kind of thing!
