=== Tatsh ===
I'm not a DJ, a remixer, or an arranger.<br>
As a composer, I included the feelings I want to convey in this song.<br>
"A song where I can just convey a bit of my feelings"<br>
I'd be happy if you like it.
 
=== Sayaka Minami(BeForU) ===
I'm Sayaka Minami, who sings "Under the Sky" with platoniX!!<br>
If I had one word to describe this song.... it's refreshing!! Refreshing!! Refreshing!! That's right.<br>
It's really refreshing when I listen to it, and it refreshes my heart!! This song makes me feel that.
 
Tatsh's song perfectly suits the image of HAPPYSKY, and I immediately became addicted to JunkoHirata's "Under the Sky" lyrics.<br>
The "platoniX" duo made a great pair once again!! That's what I think.
 
Sayaka Minami was able to appear together with platoniX in IIDX, and was very happy.<br>
When something bad happens, or you're feeling worried and uneasy, this song will refresh your feelings!!<br>
Please enjoy HAPPY SKY while experiencing this refreshing feeling (o^-^o)♪

I made this MOVIE from the request "please make it using the secret LIVE footage".<br>
I'm always excited by live filming, since you can't refilm it later or make any mistakes.<br>
This time, a problem was that there wasn't a Tatsh cut, and he said "I didn't appear in it~" m(>_<m)<br>
I quickly tried to connect videos of other songs. Does this sound familiar to you?
 
Even though it's titled "Under the Sky", the live footage somehow was pitch black, so I tried to create an image of a "live performance in the heavens!" by adding cut-in sky footage.
