Lyrics
When your day is bright And sun Shines all through the night That's when When you know you've been Been kissed by the sun Sitting on the beach And sand Tickles your feet That's when When you know you've been kissed by Forever sun shine Bright is forever sunshine Kind is forever sunshine Free is forever sunshine And you smile just because You can bathe in the sunshine Life is fun in the sunshine This is forever sunshine

Song Production Information
Michiru Yamane
Nice to meet you. This is the first time my song was included in the Dance Dance Revolution series. I'm Chel.Y.
Anyways, I composed this song while aiming for a bright, fun, and catchy melody. It was arranged by Sota, famous for "Look To The Sky". My creation was rough, so he completed it with a cool and danceable result. If you haven't danced to "Forever Sunshine" yet, by all means, please try and dance to it at least once.
I've written a lot about this song introduction, so let's discuss a bit about myself. To be honest, I usually create music for a certain gothic-styled action game. This is why I often imagine dark and tense images, such as blood. I create songs with a magnificent and profound type focused on the orchestra, and songs with a quiet atmosphere. So they have exactly the opposite image of "Forever Sunshine", right?
That's why I was able to compose this song with a fresh and enjoyable feeling.
If I have another opportunity, I want to try composing magnificent and profound dance music next time.......
Sota Fujimori
The melody is catchy, right? This song was composed by Chel Y., and I arranged it with a pop melody. It's sung by the familiar Erika from "Kind Lady"♪
This world has many conflicts, but when you listen to this song, there's no mistake that it will surely make you feel emotional!
The title still wasn't decided during the production, but when I listened to it, I didn't think there was a more suitable song title, so I named it "Forever Sunshine".

You have unlocked the song "Forever Sunshine" by Chel Y. With music and lyrics that sound like they just stepped out of a musical and wound up in Dance Dance Revolution, "Forever Sunshine" is a soft, warm and fuzzy pop song. The warmth feeling in the song comes from the sun of course!
