Lyrics

WHEN YOU SAY IT'S TRUE, BABY I LOVE YOU
I JUST CAN'T RESIST, LOOKING IN YOUR EYES
KNOWING YOU'RE NOT MINE I AM YOUR SECRET LOVE

THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE THAT YOU KISS
BUT I'VE JUST GOT TO BE WITH YOU
FEEL YOUR SWEET TOUCH, BABY TOO MUCH
SHARING YOUR LOVE IS ALL THAT I CAN DO

WHEN I GO INTO THE NIGHT
EVERYTHING SEEMS OH SO RIGHT,
HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS, FILL ME WITH YOUR CHARMS
I CAN'T SAY NO, NOW OR FOREVER MORE

DEEP AND DEEPER CAN'T STOP THE FEELING
OH BABY WHEN WE'RE MAKING SWEET SWEET LOVE
DEEP AND DEEPER THEN WE TWO ARE ONE
I DIVE RIGHT INTO YOUR HEART

TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS
AND TELL ME ONCE AGAIN
WE WILL NEVER END

DEEP AND DEEPER EMOTIONS FLOWING
LIKE AN ARROW GOING STRAIGHT TO MY HEART
DEEP AND DEEPER DROWNING IN YOUR ARMS
I'M DIVING DEEPER AND DEEPER AND DEEPER

DEEP AND DEEPER MY HEART IS BURNING
WITH A PASSION TAKING OVER ME
DEEP AND DEEPER TRULY HOW I FEEL,
I DIVE RIGHT INTO YOUR HEART
I DIVE RIGHT INTO YOUR HEART

Song Production Information

NAOKI

This is the English version of the DDR song "DIVE", by the Japanese female group Be For U, with the melody and arrangement drastically altered from the original. I chose Paula Terry as the vocalist because I thought she was the most suited for my music.

The theme of the lyrics is "love". For better or worse, I believe it is important for a relationship to always evoke deep human emotions. Many songs I made were based on real love experiences. (laughs)

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

When I first saw the song title, I remember having a diving in the sea video among the live action materials I filmed and saved, and working hard on it with light-hearted feelings.

NAOKI provided me with the lyrics which I immediately read while listening to the song, with PAULA's vocals delicately blending into NAOKI's melody and rhythms... While my chest began welling up, raise your head and run free from your thoughts... This scene clearly emerged from my mind.

Therefore, although it's once again a straightforward approach, I wanted to make the characters easy to appear and provide a sense of story, so Yuri was the character which somehow matched this image.
I didn't have time to create and set a new character, which is also a reason, although it would be too much to advance towards the level of when she appeared in B4U from 4th style... So I spent some time improving her hair textures and other expressions, etc.
She's getting better, I'm happy someone noticed them...

On the other hand, there's a part missing from the character, this expression also pursues the coolness of motion graphics (It even combines both parts after all), that was the issue, but it feels like chasing two rabbits... It would be nice if there was at least a similar part of the image imagined by everyone playing, but... There's still a really long way to go.
