Lyrics

Yeah yeah
So good!

Yeah yeah dance dance
Yeah yeah dance dance
Master the synergy
Come on!

Everybody's gonna move, start a revolution
Musical key to an evolution
Fixing it right, can you feel the vibes?
C'mon y'all, have a real good time
Get in touch with the rhythm and beat
Overpower, like the energy
Kickin' that move when I rock with the blast
Givin' the command, keep comin' on fast

Wow wow
Oh oh oh
Wow oh yeah

Lift me up, we'll have a real good time
So good, under the disco lights
It's the cure, music forever be
So good, master the synergy

Osaka...
Kansai...
Everybody...
The time is now
Yeah!

Party, party Dance Masters
Hittin' the groove, it's the beat to master
12:45 and we're doin' just fine
Hit me once, you blow my mind
Turn it up, on the floor
Hands in the air, screaming out for more
Dance, dance to the sound
Rockin' out for the underground

Tie me...
Tie me up now
Just get me out...

Lift me up, we'll have a real good time
So good, under the disco lights
It's the cure, music forever be
So good, master the synergy
So good, setting the room alight
Your touch is makin' me come alive!
Let's go, moving up to the beat
I know, we'll find the energy
The energy
The energy
Just feel the beat!

Song Production Information

This song is the OP for Dance Evolution, the next generation rhythm dance game released for the XBOX360/KINECT in late 2010.
I felt that this song would be great for IIDX 18.

In fact, there is a bit of a difference between the IIDX version and the game version of this song.
If you have the chance to listen to both version, try to listen to the differences.

I was born in Osaka, so when L.E.D. assigned the music for the production of the game, he felt that I was best suited to make a dance song from that region (laughs).

I have many memories of Kansai, but I had to juggle many different ideas of how to represent this city in a song.
I decided to make a fierce techno-infused Speed Rave (my term) song.

The result is DM STAR ~関西 energy style~.

Video Production Information

IIDX fans! The long awaited super-SPEED RAVE song from NAOKI has finally arrived!

Under the dark sky of night, do you ever feel the waves of melancholy around you?
Even if I could stop them, I still couldn't completely shake them off. All I can do is run as far as I can.
I want to go to where the highway disappears into the distance, leaving everything behind.

"A sentimental speed song"...a song that puts me into that certain state of mind.
(※ At least that was my impression of it.)

In case you are not familiar with the characters...besides the three familiar IIDX car gals, these two are the best girl racing duo in Kansai.
Emiru Motegi is from a mixed blood line, with her red hair coming from her mother's side and her penchant for racing from her father, a famous rally racer (Emiru Motegi/19/Kobe, Japan)
Aki Suzuka is the beloved daughter of the president of a major manufacturing company, and a mechanical genius in her own right (Aki Suzuka/19/Osaka, Japan).
....I loved making this movie.

(Aside)

Although I haven't worked on a movie with these characters by themselves before, I didn't really have a problem making this movie once I began.
Also, if you look at Aki's pose, it looks like she is finishing eating a piece of takoyaki.
