Lyrics

Japanese

「I just came to say hello」


二人は水の中
のぞき込むリアリズム
青く澄んで重なる
レイヤーの思い出きらめく


ああループする感覚が
眠れないよ
音もなく長い夜 続く


忘れないから まばたきの
裏側にいる 君を照らす
夢と現実が すれ違う
ここからはきっとまぼろしで
誰にも見えない光の部屋
君がいる気がしてた
君といる気がしてた

Romaji

"I just came to say hello"

futari wa mizu no naka
nozokikomu REALISM
aoku sun de kasanaru
LAYER no omoide kirameku

aa LOOP suru kankaku ga
nemurenai yo
otomonaku nagaiyoru tsuzuku

wasurenai kara mabataki no
uragawa ni iru kimi wo terasu
yume to genjitsu ga surechigau
koko kara wa kitto maboroshi de
darenimo mienai hikari no heya
kimi ga iru ki ga shiteta
kimi to iru ki ga shiteta

Song Production Information

MAKINO

I'm MAKINO! This is the first time I attempted a solo song!

The arrangement has a high degree of freedom and tension that can only be achieved by being solo!

By all means, please play it and feel the other side of MAKINO, different from the MAKINO of Pink Turbo!

Please enjoy UPPER POP, "HOW LOW"♪

Character Information

It's fun to make more and more friends through music, as miho spends her free time and after-school hours in the band.
She receives advice about love from her friends and writes lyrics for them, but will they still enjoy the music?

eimy

There was the idea of a high school girl character, huh!
I love school uniforms! I wanted to do it and raised my hand. I also did Micchan, but she was the opposite type, so it was a lot of fun!
I can't help but enjoy the band lifestyle with a fashionable setting, so I tried to also include nail polish, eye makeup, and blush. Is this too much for a pop'n character? My heart was pounding from the small reaction since I added a lot, but it was alright. I love high school girls with no makeup attached, but I also love high school girls doing their best with rough eyelashes and blush.

MAKINO's voice is also energetic and cute as ever, so I smiled after seeing the animations move together with the song. It's one of my favorite songs!

Staff Comments

tokky

The cute vocals and miho's cute animations make me feel very excited.
I can't get enough of her movements~!

Ga~su~

She seems to be a short and lively girl, right?
Her energetic singing voice also energizes me!

masaru

I know eimy says she added too much, but this character is really cute, isn't she?
After listening to this song, it seems many people want to join a band!

Mameshiba

After seeing the "dededede dededede" at the beginning and end of the song, I thought "I can't seem to pass this", but after playing, I can surprisingly clear it.
I'm impressed by my pop'n brain!
It seems exciting to play live, right~?
miho seems to perform at school festivals in her uniform.

Chihi

miho is energetic and cute with her fluffy short hair♪
I guess she's popular in her class~
If I could be a student again, I think everyone would immediately be in a band.

shio

MAKINO's piercing-like vocals in the preview audio is very impressive. It really sounds like it would be great to hear her live~. While playing it, the rhythms naturally contain a vertical groove.

The band's also good~. I would love to play in a band if I'm reborn.
miho is boyish, but her makeup is perfect for girls, which is exquisite and lovely. As expected of eimy, she understands the feelings of high school girls. I guess it's natural now to be this fashionable~.
I want to try and escape from the teacher at the school festival, and perform a guerilla live! Yeah, youth.

wac

Hello how low. I'm wac.
I'm not particularly involved in this song, but well, it's kind of like a how low.
MAKINO and I are both from the grunge generation, so we're playing music through Kurt's spirit. I'm sorry I recklessly said this.
Anyways, it's an edgy rock tune with a different direction from Pink Turbo.
This song is cool because it opens the door for MAKINO to be a bit more sharper than usual.

PON

After all, it's a music game, and I recently think "repetition" is what makes it fun.
And from repetition, there's some variation. This is it!

That's why I reproduced the nice riff of the song in this game, which makes it fun to repeat.
This is certainly an UPPER song.
