Lyrics

Japanese

なにわづに
さくや このはな
ふゆごもり
いまを はるべと
さくや このはな

(みーふーひーご!)
(ごー!ごー!ごー!ごー!ごー!ごー!575!)
(はい!はい!はい!はい!はい!はい!俳句!)

和歌よ誰ぞ 常に時雨は降り頻る
千年跨ぎのコンピレイション 詠み人百人できるかな?

(せい!せい!せい!せい!せい!せい!セイム!)
(は!は!は!はらきまりさしひけ)

疾風怒濤にぶちぬく わたしは攻めがるた
畳み掛ける畳の上なら 百人詠んでも大丈夫

わすらもち(MOCHI)
嘆きイカ(IKA)
足長長長長おじさん
お呼びじゃないのよ バンバンバンバン

ながら牛(USHI)
うっかりはけ(HAKE)
むすめほさせそ ぞなむやか 係って結んで開け

逸る気持ち押さえ手 行ったり来たり戻り手
他人に奪られるくらいなら
友札もろとも
薙ぎ払え ふっとばせ
大山持てない恋する乙女の
いのち短し

ばばんばんばばん
恋は一字決まりね
子音の瞬間 駆け出す恋は
お手つき覚悟の運命戦さ

ずばばばばーん
恋の歌 舞い落ちる
わかるよーな わからんよーな
和歌の心 宿して

いい感じ いい感じ

In Naniwa Bay,
The flowers are blossoming
After lying dormant all winter
Now spring has come
The flowers are blossoming

(3, 2, 1, go!)
(Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! 5-7-5!)
(Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Haiku!)

Who even is Waka anyway? An autumn shower endlessly falls
100 poets could make a compilation remembered for 1000 years or more, right?

(Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Same!)
(Ha! Ha! Ha! Rapid recognition!)

In the heat of the moment, I struck out
Questions launched across the tatami mats; there are 100 poems to remember but I’ll be OK

Forgotten mochi (Mochi!)
Grieving squid (Squid!)
Daddy long-long-long-long-legs isn't needed anymore, bam-bam-bam-bam

Despite a cow (Cow!)
Somehow bald (Bald!)
Mnemonics and sentence structures all falling in and out of order

Controlling my excitement, my hand rushes out and out again
Stealing the cards out from under my opponent
Using them all to my advantage, I’ll...
Mow them down! Blow them away!
For the lovely girl who couldn't conquer the mountains,
Life's short!

Ba-bam bam ba-bam
Love is that one first syllable
Hearing the consonant and rushing out
Not scoring any fouls in this fated battle

Zz-ba-ba-ba-bam
A fluttering love song
All the things I know and all the things I don’t
I house the true spirit of Waka poetry

I feel great, I feel great

Song Production Information

Nukoneko-san

Zu-ba-ba-ba-baaam! It's Nukoneko-san~!
Is everyone having fun living a karuta life!?
Speaking of karuta, I used to own a set of karuta cards when I was younger, but I used to enjoy playing menko with them instead!
I always had trouble flipping the cards over!
It took me a few years to figure out the proper way of playing!
Huh, why did I play alone...? It's not because I didn't have anyone to play with! It's not!

Well, now I can play with Kuroneko-san! A battle with (all two members of) Nekomanma Team!

...Huh!? There's no one to be the reader!?
This feels great~ ☆ Nataradin ☆

[The end]

(P.S. When recording the song, wac was shouting "MOCHI!!!" "IKA!!!" really energetically. I'll never forget PON trying to keep a straight face while recording.)

Kuroneko-san

Zu-ba-ba-ba-baaam! It's Kuroneko-san.
Do all of you kids know how to play karuta?
This is a love song, definitely a love song.

One time I was distracted as usual, and had the passing idea of writing a song using the Hyakunin Isshu.
Then, suddenly, it was time to begin preparing for the next KAC.
Which meant I had to choose the queen of the pop'n girls division.
When I hear "queen", I think of karuta. Karuta Queen.
At that moment, everything came together; the competitive karuta queen Iroha suddenly burst into existence.
I never understood why they call the female champions queens even though it's a completely Japanese-styled game.
Well, it's probably because karuta originally came from Europe. But then, why are the male champions called meijin?

I'm probably the best competitive karuta player in the BEMANI world.
Because of all the reference material I've read about competitive karuta (a bunch of manga), I'm a bit of an expert on the subject.
I'm pretty much on the level of a champion already. Even though I've never actually played a game before.

The beginning of the song uses the usual introductory poem used in karuta tournaments, and the "zu-ba-ba-ba-baaam!" shout is based on the beginning syllables of each poem.
That's all the relevant karuta information I know.
By the way, why does everyone think the ending sounds like Nataradin?
To the trained ear of a competitive karuta player, she's clearly saying "this feels great".
Now, everyone can stop bringing up Nataradin.
(Acknowledged by Q-Mex)

The skills required in competitive karuta translate easily over to pop'n.
When writing the music, I wanted to create karuta-like hand movements.
If you decide to take on the rapid-fire hand movements of this song, it's a battle with Nekomanma Team for the title of karuta queen or meijin.
Ah, I've already forgotten all the poems. Try your best, Nukoneko-san.

Video Production Information

VJ ika

Hellooooo~☆ It's the grieving squid.

Kuroneko-san's lyrics had a bunch of karuta-related phrases scattered throughout, which I thought was really clever, so I tried to include as much of that as possible in the movie!
While creating the video I kept in mind how excitable, lively, and expressive Iroha is. When I saw the official announcement from the pop'n team, I was surprised at how well everything came together.

§/❘▽❘)§ ←she's cute!

It was the song from KAC pop'n women's division, and a song that the BeatStream champion wanted to see, so I poured all of that fighting spirit into creating the video...!
And Chihi from the pop'n team illustrated the video as well! It's really wonderful!

belldot

Once again, I was asked to create a video.
Thank you!
I created a video which is just as high-tension as the song!
Be sure to pay attention to all of the karuta wordplay in the lyrics!

Chihi

The pop'n women's finals song was invited to BeatStream.
Since I was bringing Iroha over from the pop'n team, Mimi and Nyami decided to tag along too! Sorry to intrude~
I was very happy to be in charge of illustrating the video, and when all the drawings were finished and I saw the video for the first time it really felt amazing!
My favourite illustration is Iroha dressed as NaN. This feels great~ ☆
I inserted a number of pop'n references into the video. If they caught anyone's attention, please go play the song in pop'n as well!
I'm very glad she was able to become friends with BisCo ^^
Iroha, love with all your heart~

Character Information

Chihi

Hello everyone! This is Karuta Queen Iroha, who filled the women's division with her cuteness.

At the beginning, the sound team suggested writing a song using the Hyakunin Isshu, which I was excited about.
The character's image is a blend between a Heian-era 12-layer kimono and a cutesy mini yukata.
Her design is very colourful, like many other éclale characters; but at one point the colouring shifted toward being more Heian-inspired. I think I ended up reaching a perfect balance between the two concepts!
At first I thought her miniskirt would make her look too lively to be a karuta player, but her song is already super lively! I feel great~!

wac was rather excited about writing a love song, but the character theme ended up being more focused on karuta than love!
Through her animations, please experience Iroha's burning passion for karuta.
At first I was worried, since the theme of Heian-era love seemed like a great idea; but when I considered Iroha's life, I realised that she's completely in love with karuta. It's a karuta-themed love song.

The reckless girl who loves karuta, who seems clumsy at first glance: Iroha.
