I’ll add this comment he wrote about the song: “Everyone has been feeling lonely because of these hectic times, and I feel the same, too. But, I focused on thinking ‘That shouldn’t be the case!‘ and tried writing a cheerful song! I hope I can see you all soon!“
It’s a song written to cheer everyone up in quarantine, I love him u_u

Taikutsu da na tte warau hibi no naka ni sukoshi kurai tokimeki o misete
Motto shigekiteki na hibi ga osuki desho?
Hore HAPPY na yume o egakou Densha nanka ni yuraretenaide

English:
DANCE DANCE now, let’s go dance
While we laugh at these days for being boring, show me even a little bit of your heart throbbing
You prefer your days to be more exciting, don’t you?
Come on, let’s paint happy dreams Don’t let the rumbling train get to you
It’s not so bad to make a little detour, right? Our destination has changed
In these repetitive days, wavering feelings drift in the air
Past the people who come and go, the neon lights invite you to a bright town
With the night, DANCE DANCE now, let’s go dance
Don’t look down, come on Open your arms wide
In this pitch dark world, I silently send a signal to you who wouldn’t notice
You have to shout out about your love
There’s nothing wrong about it at all
Can you hear my voice?
You won’t be alone forever
Counting 1, 2, let’s jump onto the future
Follow your own preferred rhythm
A little distortion is perfectly fine
Just keep it going
Looking back at the days that have passed, your expression turns sorrowful
While lying about keeping it together
I hope you can open your heart sincerely someday
Don’t try to bring those thoughts you’ve bottled up
In the end, you’re getting cold feet, aren’t you
The maze goes on and on
Even if we get that it’s a cycle there’s no way of going around it
It doesn’t matter anymore
If you build barriers and lose against them
Having someone to be an intermission will be way too convenient
I noticed, that if I, or he, too, felt loneliness
As long as you smile, that alone would have been good enough
A happy ecology
You have to shout out about your love
There’s nothing wrong about it at all
In this wonderful town we DANCE DANCE, let’s go take each other’s hands with the night
Once we surrender ourselves, come on, your smile will fully grow
In this pitch dark world, I silently send a signal to you who wouldn’t notice
