Production[]
When composing the song for the "Classic" half, Motoka incorporates a double bass[1] , classic piano, and electric piano. Both pianos have Obbligato have many parts through the song.[2] The double bass strings are in the intro and the chorus[3] and there are Obbligato notes from a MOOG synthesiser, including a short solo at the interlude[4]. Finger snapping can be heard within six seconds of the intro.[5]
For the "New" elements, the rhythm was done with drums beats and provides Fills in various tones through the song. In-universe, Yohei played both pianos for the song while Allen created the drums via programming and got it done in one day. Motoke jokingly imagined Saimon playing the double bass and Hajun does the finger snapping.[6][7]

That’s Right, Yeah
過去へのリスペクトなしじゃ
Brand New Song は生まれない
ただ過去に縛られるつもりは毛頭ない
もっと先へ変わっていく刻んでくアンセム
振り返ってるばかりじゃ脳がないノンセンス
受け継いでゆく「信念」と「カルチャー」
積み上げた経験こそ重みとなるさ
見誤れば成り下がる空虚なラップスター
教えてあげよう本物の在り方
お互いに譲れぬ New & Classic
音でぶつかる Blues の Magic
何が Real You Gotta Feel
どこまでも Dope に Dig Dig Diggin’ On
誇り譲れぬ New & Classic
時代が交わる Blues の Magic
何が Real 磨く Skill
革新と伝統が生み出す Brand New Song
Shout It Out Shout It Out
Shout It Out Shout It Out
Shout It Out Shout It Out
過去に Respect 刻みゆく New Page

温故知新 大事な恩と義理
見せつけてやる ブレねぇプレゼンス
Past Future
That’s Why We Call It “Present”
古きを壊してまた革新を Get It
埃払って守ってくれて Thank You
土台にさせていただきますね

That’s Right, Yeah
With no respects towards the past
No Brand New Song will get to be birthed
Keeping the intention of being restrained by the past, that is keeping no intention
Let’s spread further towards the future, change, carve our Anthem
If you keep on looking back then that’s some brainless nonsense
Inheriting “Convictions” along with “Culture”
Stacked up life experiences earnt shall one day become a burden
If one becomes blind to the right path, they’ll have to expect becoming a ruined, hollow Rapstar
Shall I teach you, One’s way of staying truthful?
The New & Classic we won’t even give away to each other
The Blue’s Magic colliding with our Sound
What is Real? You Gotta Feel.
No matter where We’ll be Dig Dig Diggin’ on in a Dope way
Our pridesome New & Classic we shall keep away from anyone
With the Magic of Blues making eras mix up
What is Real? Polishing our skill
For a Brand New Song born from innovation and tradition
Shout it Out Shout it Out
Shout it Out Shout it Out
Shout it Out Shout it Out
Giving our Respects to the future, engraving it onto a New Page
It's New & Classic
You know what it is
It’s New & Classic
No brats will ever get to understand
I’ll Take off bearing history on my shoulders
That is a dignified light, those phrases are being sharpened even now
Reviewing the Old and Knowing the New[T/N 1], that is giving back a favor and is a duty
I’ll show you, Presents that will never move an inch
Past Future
That’s Why we call it Present
Breaking off the old fashioned then Get It your reform
Thank You for buying, for protecting pride
We shall go ahead and make use of your fundamentals
The New & Classic we won’t even give away to each other
The Blue’s Magic colliding with our Sound
What is Real? You Gotta feel
No matter where We’ll be Dig Dig Diggin’ on in a Dope way
The Pridesome New & Classic we won’t ever give away
With the Magic of Blues making eras mix up
What is Real? Polishing our skill
For a Brand New Song born from innovation and tradition
Shout it Out Shout it Out
Shout it Out Shout it Out
Shout it Out Shout it Out
Giving our Respects to the future, engraving it onto a New Page
It's New & Classic
You know what it is
It’s New & Classic
The Pridesome New & Classic we won’t ever give away
With the Magic of Blues making eras mix up
What is Real? Polishing our skill
For a Brand New Song born from innovation and tradition
Shout it Out Shout it Out
Shout it Out Shout it Out
Shout it Out Shout it Out
Giving our Respects to the future, engraving it onto a New Page
It's New & Classic
You know what it is
It’s New & Classic
