Lyrics

We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all
With so many light years to go and things to be found (to be found)
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so

Final Countdown
It's the final countdown
It's the final countdown (countdown)
Ooh

Trivia

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

The story behind this song is that dj nagureo had originally planned to add the covers of "Final Count Down" and "CONGA" for "beatmania Club MIX", but the large volume of song requests and schedule conflicts led to their inclusion in "4th style" instead.
The arrangement emphasizes on the famous and impressive intro and solo, so I tried to finalize it with a Euro-styled hot rock spirit.
MTO played the guitar with a harder metal tone than how I would've played it, which gave the song a more metallic feeling.
Even as a rock fan since youth, it reignited my rock soul and I ended playing the guitar in the song's latter-half.
The vocalist, Jasmine, broke the record for becoming the youngest musician involved in IIDX.
I'll let you determine how old she really is.

GOLI here.
a-ha. Huh. (By the way, I'm sighing)
I thought it's a good song.
TAKA's heartwarming song is burning hot.
Ah, I really wanted to make a movie for it. a-ha.
Somehow, there were only two 16-color animation prototypes.
But, players, please disregard these minor details and enjoy playing this song.
I really like it.
After all, I'm playing on LIGHT7.
I can't clear it on 7KEY.
