Review:
DIVE was BeForU's first song, appearing on the video game Dance Dance Revolution. It was also the first BeForU song I ever heard. I was a fan of that version, but this full-length album version is even better.
This version of DIVE is one of the only songs where you can hear all the original members of BeForU sing solo for a few lines (the other being Firefly). Oh yes, even Shiyuna. What makes it even better is that they all sound awesome here. After listening to this version, the old DDR version's vocals just don't compare. Riyu sounds *so* much better now that she's had a few years of experience.
While the music of DIVE is typical pop/techno stuff, it's catchy. The song's verses and refrains both get stuck in my head at times. DIVE was definitely a good way for BeForU to start off their career, because even now after having published so much material, DIVE remains one of their staple songs. Certainly a BeForU classic.
