This is the pre-debut song of "Be For U", formed from the successful applicants of the Vocal Contest Audition, and is the first DDR original song in Japanese. The music production started when I suddenly handed the song to the women, who were complete amateurs up until yesterday, but each of the four members demonstrated their best efforts within an extremely short production period. The main vocalist of DIVE is Kosaka, who was unrefined as an amateur, but had the most innocent power with feelings such as passion and liveliness. This imperfect part of her had the closest resemblance to the lyrical theme of DIVE, "an unstoppable sense of speed in the midst of true love", so I appointed her as the main vocalist of the game version of the song. I want everyone to please pay attention to it and listen to the very interesting lyrics.
I still can't reveal what the future holds for the four vocalists selected from the contest, but there's no doubt that the support from the girls themselves and their fans will open a path for them.

==== NAOKI ====
The idea of a four-member female unit has come true, and their pre-debut song "DIVE" was completed within two weeks, including vocal recording. It's honestly unfair of me to perhaps have the completely amateur women get accustomed to the music production within two weeks, but none of them complained and worked on it with a positive attitude, so I think I was able to finally finish it with an exceptional speed.
"DIVE" is the first DDR original song in Japanese, so this song attempted a new trial with the first Japanese vocalists. The melody is my typical HYPER EUROBEAT style, but I think it was completed as a dance number which was easier to convey with Japanese lyrics, and a more Japanese interpretation of the melody than previous songs.
This song can be played on DanceDanceRevolution 5thMIX, which will be released towards the end of March, and is also included on the [[AC DDR 4th|DanceDanceRevolution 4thMIX ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK]], released on March 16th by Toshiba EMI, Ltd., so by all means, I want you to listen to their song on this CD.
Well, if there is enough demand, there's a possibility that a full size version of "DIVE" may be included in a dance compilation CD.
"DIVE", the 1st TRACK born from this four female unit for DDR, is only their introduction. I want you to support their future beginning with DDR from now on!
