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 one of my songs has been 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 give it a try and dance to it at least once.
Now that I've introduced you to the song, let me tell you 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 magnificent and profound songs with focus on the orchestra, and songs with a quiet atmosphere. That's 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 a 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 Erika of "Kind Lady" fame♪
This world has many conflicts, but when you listen to this song, there's no mistake that it will surely cheer you up!
The title still wasn't decided during the production, but when I listened to it, I thought there was no more suitable song title, so I named it "Forever Sunshine".
