This song was produced as an instrumental that extended the 5th style name entry music.<br>
dj TAKA heard the completed product and repeatedly called out the name of a particular male idol group, saying "we have to include this song!", so Shapes was urgently founded for IIDX, and it became a groovy dance pop song.<br>
I added the melody at the end, so the arrangement is a bit strange, as if the backing track ignored the song, but I hope you enjoy it as well.

A DANCE POP song with a Japanese male vocals is rare in IIDX, isn't it?<br>
There's an image in my mind that Japanese people will soon be completely tired of the Japanese lyrics (especially after playing IIDX many times in a row...), but I never get tired of listening to this song, which makes me feel like "I'm doing my best" no matter how many times I hear it, I really like it.
