話だしたら急に 夢がわれて消えそうだヨネ 夢をみていたんだヨ そこのほらあなたに でもないけど そうね上手に踊りなさい お互い様に どうぞ このままで 急には変われない 素直になれないからだと もとにはもどさない ほら次のリズムも見えないじゃない でもないけど そうね上手に踊りなさい お互い様に どうぞ このままで あなたは変わらない 近付きすぎただけなのヨ 私も変われない ほら次のリズムも見えないじゃない

Music Comment
A super~ big name from the kayou world appears here! Furthermore, the lyrics were written by Tokoro!! This combination is a bit amazing, isn't it!?
Song Production Information
Hiro shishou
This surprising collaboration materialized due to NAZO2's connections.
The singer NAO, and lyricist Tokoro, are so popular that there isn't a day that they aren't seen on TV, and as expected, they're a respective veteran singer and musician who kindly appeared here, despite their super busy schedules. Tokoro's lyrics are surreal and profound, and the line "you can't see the next rhythm?", is conscious of the BEMANI series. And NAO's singing presence is overwhelming.
For this song, I tried to consciously express high quality '70s pop songs, while seasoning it with a modern R&B; and house style.

She's a high-class bar diva. Her compassionate singing voice, which also provides listeners' counseling, gently moves your heart.

Just between us, this character was modeled after the artist who sings KAYOU HOUSE.
INUCHIYO designed her, and p-cat drew her movements.
The artist requested that some small NK2000s appear in her ACTION animation.
I hope~ the artist is satisfied with her.
