I'm still at the turn of the century, buried deep in cheap nostalgia
I keep having out-of-body dreams, won't let my spirit be beguiled
My life may seem mundane anymore, yet it can still be a ray
Even friendships fleeting, love's out there, in every mile
No gods can take romance away from us
(The) sweet jail will never come back, it's a plus
Sad rain, and the wind's gentle pain
Profile, (The) hill's embrace, time can't erase
Lyrics still incomplete, in this moment I am still alive
A Parco ad-like explosion where wonders at peak in vibe
Starting from nothing, yet there is something deep inside
And that scenic memory, forever will it bide
No gods can take romance away from us
(The) sweet jail will never come back, it's a plus
Sad rain, and the wind's gentle pain
Profile, (The) hill's embrace, time can't erase

Romance Democratization
Ku'damm
The newly released Romance Democratization Movement is a fully original single, unlike the previous work Xian Cai, which was a self-cover by Reye. This track fully showcases the creative talents of both artists.
The song features a fast-paced drum'n'bass rhythm intertwined beautifully with shimmering strings and Minami's ethereal, floating vocals. The composition evokes the feeling of speeding down a highway at night, making it the ultimate driving song.
The lyrics are entirely in English, expressing the sentiment: "The memories I've experienced, the romance-it's an unerasable time that even gods cannot take away."
As with the previous work, the jacket illustration is designed by Imchim. The artwork highlights the song's Y2K elements, portraying a cyber-inspired girl with a captivating charm.
