This is my best number of 2003, where the interacting happy hardcore-style drumming and my guitar playing, and Riyu Kosaka's rhythmical and energetic vocals, matched her lyrics that only she could write, with high tension. | |||
I | I personally labeled 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 the lyrical contents are quite moving like "Chikara", 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, and I was able to complete 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 try and listen to it.<br> | |||
Actually, the vocal track and arrangement are all completely different to the game version. | |||

Anyways, my first impression of this song was "running", so I made RIYU run this time. | |||
Humans want to run somewhere during their youth.<br> | |||
When I look back, those days seemed the most lively....<br> | |||
I felt like I could do anything without "fear". | |||

This pop feeling is important after all, right?! | |||
This | This is a bright and fun song.<br> | ||
By all means, please play it! | |||
