Lyrics

 潮風に誘われて　君の腕をとり海の中へ
 ワイキキ　そう夢の砂浜　君と二人
 貝殻を首に飾り星と踊ろう
 うつむいたって何も見えない
 虹の架け橋渡ろう
 ワイキキ　そうここでは誰もが大地の子よ
 潮風に誘われて　二人踊ろう

 shiokaze ni sasowarete
 kimi no ude wo tori umi no naka he
 waikiki sou yume no sunahama kimi to futari
 kaigara wo kubi ni kazari hoshi to odorou
 utsumoi tatte nani mo mienai
 niji no kakehashi watarou
 waikiki sou koko de wa dare mo ga daichi no ko yo
 shiokaze ni saworete futari odorou

 I've been invited to the sea breeze, in the sea that takes your arm
 Waikiki, you and me are on this dreamy, sandy beach
 Let's dance with the stars that decorate on the seashell's neck
 We can't see anything to downcast
 Let's cross over the bridge of the rainbow
 Waikiki, in here, anybody is an Earth child
 We've been invited to the sea breeze, let's dance

Song Production Information^[2][1]

"Make a modern-styled Hawaiian song!" It was a difficult order, but I asked SANA, who's famous in beatmania and pop'n, to sing this song, and it resulted in this happy setting. Yes! I have a confession. Actually, I'm a big fan of her. Recording was like a dream. And! The steel guitar was played by Takamitsu Togo, who's the father of TOGO, famous from BEMANI - GOTTAmix. He's a very wonderful father, and I also really enjoyed recording with him.
