I can't wait around no more
I wanna know what do you think about me?
So I came to you tonight
I wanna know do you love me baby?

Song Production Information

beatmania 2ndMIX

This is the song I'm most interested in personally. The main character is a gorgeous, uncanny femme fatale like Fujiko Mine from Lupin III, with the electric piano and analog synthesizer underscoring a '70s-like soundscape. I made the vocals while imagining the voice of Yasuko Agawa.
