<pre>I'm here.  
Note: The first section of the lyrics is spoken, and does not appear in the lyrics booklet.
 
<pre>On a moonlit night,
The figure of you is reflecting in the water's surface like a mirror.
I have a dream.
Your next meet was an easy race.
It is a miracle.
 
I'm here.  
You seemed to hear. You're aware of me,  
You seemed to hear. You're aware of me,  
turned your head round, and gave me a kind smile.

The undulating bass splashes like a violent wave, engulfing everything...!

This song received an audio comment from composer DJ YOSHITAKA.<br>
We hope you enjoy the uneasy feeling between the two people.<br>
※In the latter-half, DJ YOSHITAKA says "Ta-u-"... His saying means "a sung song".

Untranslated.
<center>Under the deep, deep sea, lives a siren.<br>
If we didn't meet, would we have never known these feelings...?</center>
 
=== shio ===
Since SHION is a yukionna, let's go with a mermaid next!<br>
And it feels like Yoshi-kun firmly decided on it.<br>
Yoshi-kun was busy, so I was very worried since the character was created first, but I was glad to receive a cool song!<br>
I created detailed animations for her.<br>
Her design was inspired by the story of The Little Mermaid, so I tried to express her fixed gaze from the sadness and frustration of not being able to talk to the person she loves, even whem he's close.<br>
Unfortunately, she's a fish, and a different species... I wanted to mix her prettiness with an eerie feeling, so people wouldn't relate to her.<br>
I had a stronger impression of "The Red Candle and the Mermaid", which I read when I was a child, than The Little Mermaid, so mermaid's somehow have a scary image. They feel very beautiful, pure, and cruel.
 
But, when I thought about the story of The Little Mermaid once again, the story isn't really satisfying. Andersen is heartless. Did something very bad happen to him back then?
 
== Staff Comments ==
=== PON ===
And, that's what it feels like.<br>
In these times, there are comments like this, too.
 
=== [[Masaru Nakamura|masaru]] ===
This is the first audio comment!
 
=== [[tokky]] ===
The spinning background noise sounds like a whirlpool or splashes, and sounds cool!<br>
An image of swimming in a torrent comes to my mind.
 
=== Ga~su~ ===
The high-speed feeling is impressive!<br>
The guitar at the end is especially cool! Everyone, please love it as well.
 
=== [[Chihiro Inoue|Chihi]] ===
I'm impressed that shio worked very hard...<br>
It feels like there weren't many young female characters who were fully wholehearted~<br>
From the moment you start walking, you'll be moved by various flashback scenes!
 
=== [[Ryuta Tamura|TAMA]] ===
This is a moist, steady, cool, and sad song.<br>
I'm looking forward to his next upper song.
 
=== [[Jun Wakita|wac]] ===
Yoshi-kun seems to be the most busy man in the BEMANI world now.<br>
It was very difficult for him in many ways, but in the end, he created a nice song, with a water splash.<br>
I wasn't going to repay him, but I didn't create a song for [[AC RB limelight|limelight]].<br>
I'm sorry!!!
 
=== [[Yuki Shibata|Mameshiba]] ===
This is the [[Mermaid girl|second]] mermaid song.<br>
It feels like KIRARA is a bright idol mermaid, but MANA feels like she has a dark side. But, she's nice.<br>
I like the end of the chorus.<br>
Let's all feel excited!
