Lyrics
Japanese
見上げた この青空の色が眩しすぎて 忘れかけた大事なものさえ 僕らに気づかせてくれたね 目前に広がる世界は 小さな出来事 ひとつで 変わってゆくから。。。 吹き抜ける風を受けて あの空の向こうへ やわらかな風が今日も 僕らをすりぬけて 夢の続きがあるなら 迷わずに飛び出そう 両手を空にかざして 心のドアを開けて 明日を見つめて歩いてゆこう

Trivia
- Under the Sky's Beginner chart is actually the Single Basic chart without Freeze Arrows.
- Under the Sky was removed on DanceDanceRevolution X, despite appearing in the location test version. It was later revived in DanceDanceRevolution X2.
- In DanceDanceRevolution X2, it is unlocked by reaching Enjoy Level 70.
- In DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX and later games, it is available by default.
- Under the Sky's Single Expert chart is known for its very uneven difficulty. On the old 1-10 scale, it is rated a 6 despite having a very long 8th note death run near the end of the song. Because of this, when Under the Sky was revived in DDR X2, it was rerated to an 11 on DDR X's 1-20 difficulty scale (equivalent to a 7 or 8 on the 1-10 scale).
- During DDR X's location test, however, the chart was rated an 8 (equivalent to a 5 or 6 on the 1-10 scale).
- In the North American/European releases of the DDR series, Sayaka Minami's name is romanized.
