Background and release edit

"Dance Beat wa Yoake made" was used as the opening theme of the TBS drama series Sōshun Monogatari: Watashi, Otona ni Narimasu (早春物語〜私、大人になります〜, Early Spring Story: I Will Be an Adult), which starred Oginome as the lead character Hitomi Okino (沖野 瞳, Okino Hitomi).

The music video features Oginome as a maiden dancing in a lakeside forest. At the end of a video, she sees a door in the middle of the forest and opens it, only to be blinded by the light emitting from the other side of the door.

"Dance Beat wa Yoake made" peaked at No. 4 on Oricon's singles chart and sold over 148,000 copies.[3]

In 1991, Oginome re-recorded the song in a Flamenco style, titled "Dance Beat wa Yoake made (In Sevilla)" (Dance Beatは夜明けまで -in セビーリア-, "Dance Beat Until Dawn -In Sevilla-"); this version was released in the remix album New Take: Best Collections '92.
