Song Production Information[]
Sota F.[]
I choose this title to convey the idea of the beginning of a new decade (DDR reborn).
This song was completed while keeping in mind the tempo unique to a boss song, and it became perfect for exercising and dieting!!
Please, don't hesitate and choose this song when you are ready to say "today is the day!".
It's a song that will make your feet flutter, but I think it's a great stress reliever!!
