This song started from the phrases "I want to sing these~ kinds~ of songs~", "I want to dance~", and "Mirrorball~!!←perfect for the DISCO generation (sweats;)", and the KONAMI Studio sound creator Tsucchini often selfishly said he created a "loveable fighting spirit song". Thank you for the lovely song! Also, a long-time close friend RYO performs the chorus (who's also active as a tour member for artists such as Eikichi Yazawa and Toko Furuchi), and the dancer 'MICO' groovily dances in this IIDX movie (who's also active as a choreographer for [[Hideki Fujisawa|DANCE☆MAN]] and MINMI, and as a backup dancer for artists such as Misia), and fur, fur, furthermore! '[[Hiroyuki Togo|Togo-chef]]', who has helped me since "[[HUNTING FOR YOU|Hunting For you]]" from the [[AC bm 4th|original beatmania]], appeared as a friend in this movie (but only briefly, laughs).

What should I do with this lineup! I'm really happy... thanks to the KONAMI staff and my close friends, I'm still inexperienced, but I was able to achieve what I wanted (congratulations).<br>

"LOVE BOX" was born from the image of "THE TOKYO". I also took part in the costumes, womens' hair and makeup, and staging. Sorry for writing the silly lyrics. Please forgive that atmosphere. Also, I'm grateful to TERA and TAKA for creating this Tokyo-like video.

An expression describing an ocean area inhabited by fish such as tropical fish. It means an upper-slope, such as shoals. I named it from the concept that colorful fish freely gather and swim in shoals which are filled with sunlight. If you're a musician, freely enter and exit♪

From this unexpected situation that my own song is included in this IIDX series, I'd like to first warmly and passionately thank all the artists, staff, and players who have half-impatiently supported IIDX!

This is a 90's J-PopSoul song which feels nostalgic now. I had an image of that moment when acoustic 16beat was slightly shining with brilliance in Japan.

This time, Tsucchini created this song while saying many nonsense phrases such as "well, the guitar is kuwachaka-styled... (it continued for a while, so I'll omit it)"♪ Thankfully, I really love it, yes (I'm happy), I can't get enough of how he somberly plays the keyboard~ (I'm satisfied), although it's a hidden song... ha~... I, I can't play--- it. I'm not really a gamer... I was looking forward to the character.... I still haven't seen her (I'm sad).

RYO performs the chorus (who performs the backing chorus for artists such as Eikichi Yazawa and Toko Furuchi), the dancer MICO performs a cool dance in the IIDX home version movie (who's a Misia tour member, and a choreographer for artists such as MINMI and DANCE☆MAN), and these guests started as two of "Megumi upper-slope"'s close friends, but I hope to show a completely side of Megumi Oka in pop'n than before. See☆You

Hey, I can play the guitar. But when I walk around while playing my guitar, people suddenly tell me to stop. I haven't appeared here recently.<br>

Folk somehow sounds nice, but not the electric guitar's Yohhh!! Perhaps the Yohhhhhhhhh sounds irritating to those inside the bus!!!! Old women think that everyone who plays the electric guitar in school uniform are rock bastards, but unfortunately, the "teketententten" playing in enka songs is from that electric guitar.<br>

So, I stole this joke in the end, and these comments are horrible. Well, I've written about various details on other pages. It's sometimes nice and fun to get wild!!<br>

But I'm not really great at playing the guitar recently. I don't have talent, but I hope to become good by practicing.

The "LOVE BOX" project started from MEGU's wish to create a talkative groovy disco CLIP. When I listened to this song many times, images of "spaciousness" and a "sense of speed" somehow gently came to mind, so I created it with cool JAH convertibles and fashionable club footage.

The dancer MICO introduced me to the Roppongi club "R", and I borrowed my friend's favorite convertible. During the filming day, MEGU's charm was in full-force! My camera was also in good condition, so I think it went well.
