Hey eh yeah
Uh huh

Can you treat me like a nasty girl
You want a nasty world
I know that you want me honey
Feelin some all feel
no matter how deep your love
And no doubt I want it baby love
Don't you feel my heart
Point to how my Jewel heart is think 'bout

And you're searching for the real world
It's all what me feel

Take me higher
They go out all howling 'bout ya
Shine on me
Shine on you

Thriller
They don't got it all, so won't ya
Shine on you
Shine on me

Feel what ya got
Oh whoa oh oh
Shine on me

Shine on me forever

Take me high
Shine on me
Shine on you
Shine on everybody
Woah

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

This is a newly written song created as a collaboration of the extravagant members, music producer Keiichi Ueno, tracker Miracle-K, and the familiar vocalist Asuka M.
Furthermore, all the parts except for the rhythm track were performed live by professional musicians, and it was an excelent production process which gave me the impression that I regained my senses often forgotten when I'm busy working.
I met Asuka for the first time during this recording, and she had a wonderful singing voice. I hope she'll participate in the IIDX series again~.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

As the title "take me higher" implies, the impressive phrases which seem to take it higher, and combined with the effect of its live performance, makes the song sound even stronger.
The contrast between the pleasant and powerful track, with Asuka M's tight vocals, is also exquisite.
Although this movie isn't original, I had professional dancers dance to another song in advance, then finely cut and edit the footage to match the song's timing, which was the same technique used in the first IIDX game.

Here's a sudden quiz.
There's a member of the IIDX team who coincidentally introduces himself as "Mr.T" in other games. Who could it be?
