A rhythmic rock-dance number, "Dakara Sono Te wo Hanashite" features only guitar and vocals on top of entirely digital backing instrumentation. It would not be until 2000 with the "Mixture style" reversion of the song on B'z The "Mixture" that live bass and drums would be recorded for the song, as the English version "DA.KA.RA.SO.NO.TE.O.HA.NA.SHI.TE -OFF THE LOCK STYLE-" utilized a similar approach. Guitar is not featured especially prominently in this original rendition, ultimately having a faint presence within the overall mix. Koshi's voice comes through quite loud with light tone, which is in direct contrast to mixing practices B'z would engage in later. The song represented Masao Akashi's first foray into arrangement—a role he would play throughout the 1990s with B'z and ZARD, while also providing bass for B'z for their earliest tours. The song was chosen by the band's former label for the unauthorized release Flash Back -B'z Early Special Titles- without the band's involvement. Its first official collection on a B'z album would be 2013's B'z The Best XXV 1988-1998.
