"Himawari" is BeForU's third project for GF&dm, | "Himawari" is BeForU's third project for GF&dm, following "[[Chikara]]". | ||
This is my best number of 2003, in which happy hardcore-styled drumming is intertwined with my own guitar, and Riyu Kosaka's rhythmical and energetic vocals, are matched with her lyrics that only she could write, with high tension. | |||
I | I personally called this sound as J-HAPPYHARD CORE rock.<br> | ||
It | It follows the flow of my style heard in "[[CANDY (Riyu Kosaka)|CANDY♡]]" and "[[LOVE SHINE|LOVE♡SHINE]]".<br> | ||
However, "Himawari" is a brand-new original song for GF&DM, so the guitar | However, "Himawari" is a brand-new original song for GF&DM, so I pushed the guitar to the forefront, and you can definitely play real drums (laughs). | ||
It's like "Chikara" and "[[BREAK DOWN! (GF&DM STYLE)|BRE∀K DOWN!]]", but you should definitely play them with a band, so please play it at least once!! | |||
And much like "Chikara", the lyrics are also quite moving, so please listen carefully to this song's message! | |||

This J-HAPPY HARDCORE number, "Himawari", is one of the standard styles of the BeForU sound, with an exhilarating pop and speedy feeling.<br> | |||
Riyu Kosaka's lyrics, which completely relate to the real world, continued to give me courage many times as I completed this song.<br> | |||
"If I could make the same flowers bloom, I want them to bloom like the sun...."<br> | |||
I think it's really important to have positive feelings and attitudes.<br> | |||
I think many people unexpectedly almost forget their reality and easily become pessimistic... | |||
Well, the full version of Himawari is included in BeForU's 1st album, so to those who like this song, by all means, please listen to it.<br> | |||
Actually, the vocal track and arrangement are completely different to the game version. | |||

The overall image | The clip's overall image feels like "BRE∀K DOWN!", but with a pop-tinted screen.<br> | ||
This pop feeling is important after all, right?! | |||
This | This is a bright and fun song.<br> | ||
By all means, please play it! | |||
