BeForU's new song has a full-fledged rock tone which featured the guitar. Perhaps it's a song which is unusual in the DDR series. It has nice rhythms which are uptempo and groovy, but the melody feels sad. This time, Riyu Kosaka is in charge of the song's lyrics. Kosaka expressed her straight feelings when she recently heard this song, with realistic words used by a teenager. These lyrics are wonderfully nice. Please don't miss this.

And... Kosaka wrote the lyrics for BREAK DOWN, but it's a big change~!? Unlike CANDY, I'm acting as a delinquent, and it's already very difficult (laughs), but I did my best in Kosaka's own style, so by all means, everyone please try to dance to this song (^-^)/

When I heard from NAOKI that this song was rock, I asked "what kind of song is this~??" while feeling completely nervous. When the intro started, my head warped for a moment... huh! Is this in a live venue? The exciting climax! The roaring guitars! My body continues to jump... I said "that's exactly rock!!!" as an amazing and real image came to my mind!!! Well, don't you want to shake your head when you listen to this? I think everyone has an "image of rock" in their minds, but I wonder if they'll also listen to this song in the same way as Noria? I'm looking forward to it.

The contents of these lyrics is expressing the resentment of the world as a "rebellious chick". Noria sang the top part of the chorus with a high pitched voice. I recommend Yoma's narration. I really love listening to that. When everyone is at the concert chick show, try to loudly sing BRE∀K DOWN! Of course also try to play it in DDR! Noria is also looking forward to MAX2! I want to quickly play it★ Well then, let's meet at the arcade. (laughs)
