Lyrics

Game Size

Shakin' off the sandals and worries from my feet and mind
Greeting the waves of the tropical aquarium of the gods

Watchin' us from high above, the birds sing the song of love

Fallin' are the morning rays
Painting summer colours on you and me
Hiding what we used to be
The slaves of life
We ran from yesterday
Feeling freedom everywhere 
Skin deep

Sunshine dance under the blue blue sky
Embraced by the loving of our planet
Sunshine dance, get started 1 2 3!
Hope this happiness will last forever, YEAH!

(rap)
Dive into the burning mode of sundance
Splash through the waterfall of love trance
Celebrate this moment with laughter
We're gonna be happy ever after

(refrain)
Sunshine dance under the blue blue sky
Embraced by the loving of our planet
Sunshine dance, get started 1 2 3!
Hope this happiness will last forever, YEAH!

(refrain)
You can dance!
You can dance!
You can dance!
Dance with me

Long Version


Shakin' off the sandals and worries from my feet and mind
Greeting the waves of the tropical aquarium of the gods

Watchin' us from high above, the birds sing the song of love

Fallin' are the morning rays
Painting summer colours on you and me
Hiding what we used to be
The slaves of life
We ran from yesterday
Feeling freedom everywhere 
Skin deep

Sunshine dance under the blue blue sky
Embraced by the loving of our planet
Sunshine dance, get started 1 2 3!
Hope this happiness will last forever, YEAH!

Takin' off what covers the body and soul of us two
Meeting the fish in the way that we came to this world when we're born

Walkin' into Chapter One, we cowrite our book of love

Blowing are the morning winds
Printing summer patterns on you and me
Granting what we want to be
Artists of life
Designing future days
Paradise is where we are
And will be

Sunshine dance across the white white sand
Joining forces with the spinning planet
Sunshine dance keep moving 1 2 3!
Nothing's never ever gonna stop us, YEAH!

(rap)
Dive into the burning mode of sundance
Splash through the waterfall of love trance
Celebrate this moment with laughter
We're gonna be happy ever after

(refrain)
Sunshine dance under the blue blue sky
Embraced by the loving of our planet
Sunshine dance, get started 1 2 3!
Hope this happiness will last forever, YEAH!

(refrain)
You can dance!
You can dance!
You can dance!
Dance with me

Song Production Information

Togo

Cuba, as well as countries like Brazil in South America, are a treasure trove of music. From mambo, rumba, salsa, bossa nova, and reggae, to son, merengue, calypso, and so on, they have a wide variety of musical and rhythmic styles. Within peoples' lives and histories, dance music is closely tied to them. And as someone who loves southern countries, I long to be there.

As such, I created a pop song that incorporates Brazilian samba and carnival rhythms, which are popular in Japan as well. Continuing from HUNTING FOR YOU from GOTTAMIX, the project consists of Scotty D., who wrote the lyrics, Megu on vocals, and myself (Togo), who wrote the song. Our old friend YOKAN did the arrangement and joined us on the saxophone, and it turned out to be an incredibly fun session. We all went wild during the latter half of the long version (on track 23)!
