Hello. C-Show here. It's been quite a while since I first met Maozon, back in the same [[SOUND VOLTEX Information|SOUND VOLTEX FLOOR]] contest, and while we're part of the same music production company, this is our first time collaborating.<br>

Well, as this song is a collaboration with C-Show, at first, I talked with him about what style of song should we go with, and then I suddently said "I want to do an old school song~", and C-Show accepted.

However, when I started working on my part, I thought "Does this song has to be pigeonholed on an existing genre?", so I changed direction, rave stabs, the piano backing, breakbeats, and other things that remain from then.<br>

In STEP UP from this game had Hearty as Q-pro, and I was secretly planning to have her appear again in a C-Show song that fitted her.<br>

Since this song is a collaboration with Maozon, I recruited Lavie, Hearty's friend, to join her in the movie.<br>
She likes an atmosphere reminiscent of the 90's... or whatever you call it, that's how she feels.
