Lyrics

Dream of love, for you and me
I can see it in your eyes blessed with the moonlight

You and I form a dream of love
And you'll be you and me

Fly away
From a lot of memories
In this place we once said goodbye
Do you still love me?
Can you prove it in your own way
I'm still there finding a way out of it

Too late, too late
I just cannot let it go off of my mind
But I'm gonna give it a try

Dream of love, for you and me
I can see it in your eyes blessed with the moonlight
Truth of love, for you and me
I can see it in your eyes so full of tears

(You and I form a dream of love)
Wanna be with you
I found myself I'm still in love
(And you'll be you and me)
A dream of love
We can't end this thing now

Song Production Information

Yasuhiro Abe

For this song, I took a specific approach to create its fusion sound. I combined a "dance" beat with a "Koto", which is a Japanese traditional instrument, and used them as the key sounds. In addition, I contrived its melody to have a feeling of oriental melancholy. I also use repetitive, catchy, phrases so the song definitely lends itself to dancing! The R&B sound has become much more popular among the Japanese music scene and has often been used in games. In the DDR series, we usually polish and arrange the sounds in a way that satisfies the desires of the user and makes the song more familiar for the product.
As an example, for this song I strengthened each of the five snares and adjusted their attack time in order to make the sound thicker and heavier. Plus, I used an Access Virus, a plug-in for ProTools, to emphasize the bass part of the attack and to add more volume to the song as a whole. If I have a chance to make a full version of this track, I would accentuate the Koto part by arranging it with other Japanese instruments. This would be my dream and I'm hoping to release it someday in the future.
