Song info[]
Over Drive is GARNET CROW's highest-charting single to date, and has since become a staple of their live shows. In an interview, singer Yuri Nakamura told that the themes she was asked to write the song around involved "blue sky", "refreshing wind", "floating" and "up-tempo tune", so that the song would be very closely linked with the feel of the film. Eventually, she came up with five different songs. The stress of the hard work made her feel somewhat depressed, but eventually felt good as "Over Drive" became developed. She went on to explain that of all the tie-up songs she has written, this was the most detailed and specific request. The lyrics were to be simplified to allow young children to be able to better understand and sing along with the song. To aid this, some of the more difficult English words were changed to katakana. Yuri also jokingly said that if anyone were to leave the cinema during the credits, she would block the exit.
When asked if she would consider writing another movie theme like that, Yuri declined, because the experience is a very stressful one. However, guitarist Hitoshi Okamoto disagreed, so it is unknown if GARNET CROW will have another movie tie-up in the future.
The version of the song released on the single is not the same as the one in the movie- the film version is known as "Over Drive (theater version)" and was released only on the regular edition of the band's eighth album, "parallel universe". This arrangement is notable due to the fact that it begins with an acapella line, instead of an instrumental introduction.

Kaze no oto dake ga Mune ga kyutto naru koto Tsugou ii HAPPY END Joukuu mau monotachi to OVER DRIVE Nami ga kirameitara Chikazuita LAST SCENE Joushou koi wa yuraide OVER DRIVE Dokomademo aoi sekai ni itai Kamifubuki no youni tori ga mau Kirei ne Oi kaze ni noru suriru mo Mada minu yukisaki wo omou Taisetsuna kitai ni kaeteyukeru RAISE UP Hontou no kimi ni deau hi wo Matteru
It's just the sound of the wind I feel a tightening in my chest A happy end under good conditions High in the sky, things dance into over drive The waves are glittering We've drawn close to the last scene Rise up, love is swaying into over drive I want to go to a world that's all blue Birds flutter around like confetti It's pretty Get on a thrilling tailwind Thinking of a yet unseen destination These important expectations can still be changed Raise up The day when we'll meet by chance I'll wait for it
風の音だけが 胸がキュッとなること 都合いい Happy End 上空 舞うもの達と Over Drive 波がキラめいたら 近づいた last scene 上昇 恋は揺らいで Over Drive どこまでも青い世界にいたい 紙吹雪のように鳥が舞う キレイね 追い風に乗るスリルも まだ見ぬ行き先を想う 大切な期待に変えてゆける raise up 本当の君に出会う日を 待ってる |
