Wikipedia article
"'Jet Boy Jet Girl'" is Hitomi Takahashi's 7th single under the Sony Records (gr8! records) label, and was released on August 1, 2007 in two different versions - CD only and CD+DVD.
Overview
"'Jet Boy Jet Girl'" is the 7th single released by Japanese punk-rock singer Hitomi Takahashi, and her 2nd single to be released in 2007, five months after "Candy Line". The song replaced Uverworld's "endscape" as the opening theme song for the anime 'Toward the Terra', making "Jet Boy Jet Girl" the second opening theme for the anime. First pressings of the CD+DVD version included an animation video clip of 'Toward the Terra', along with a sticker and tarot card.
Like her past three singles, "Jet Boy Jet Girl" was produced by Takuya Asanuma of Judy and Mary fame, and the b-side song "Pride" was produced by 175R's shogo.k, who previously produced the song "Drive" for her. The main song "Jet Boy Jet Girl" is described as "featuring a fun sound designed to complement the anime", while "Pride" is described as a "rock tune that's set to get the summer concert bumping". The special DVD movie does not contain a music video as "Aozora no Namida" did, but a series of random, moving clips with "Jet Boy Jet Girl" playing in the background.
Sample of the translated lyrics:
:Jet boy, accelerate, don't let go, no matter what
:Jet girl, push on, ascend up the air current, and fly high
:There's no reasoning behind it, I want to be at your side
:With just that, I can be invincible
