Music Comment
Fire, lightning, water, earth, his feet moves like a gale. Let's keep looking at his various ninjitsu moves!
Song Production Information
PON
I created this song for the public character contest.
There were no plans to somehow include it in the location tests for 20 at all.
Yeah. None. Nothing.
It seems strong, but it's cute! Raizou is in charge of this song.
This hot and busy song is reminiscent of a battle.
For this composition, I thought of 2 out of Raizou's 10 ninja arts, and there are sections which have an image of "time-space manipulation" and "flying Musa basjoo"!
Do you know where they are?
Well, Raizou is a rabbit character like Mimi, but it still has a different cuteness!
It's worth looking at his LOSE animation.
Every time I see it on the screen while playing, I say "Raizou's cute!" out loud.
I also say "Raizou's great!".
With such feeling, let's welcome Raizou together, who looks big, but has a strong attitude for service.
Character Information
Kimi mo★ pop'n character designer! Official Website
The moon ninja flies and rolls.
It's a rabbit foot, so his ears became rock ptarmigan-ish.
Power of Nature
Thank you for your many applications!
Ninja Raizou won the highest excellence prize!
I was attracted to such gap of seeming strong, yet cute.
When I created this song, I wasn't expecting a white rabbit at all, so I respectfully chose it from the talented artist's image which perfectly matched it.
I'd like Mimi to confront old and new rabbits.
I want to immediately see Raizou's jumping actions!
shio
Congratulations on winning the highest excellence prize~ (claps).
The A slot is an instrumental song with a sprinting feeling, expressed from the song title "Hayate".
There's no lyrics, so perhaps it was slightly difficult to expand the image from the song's rhythms and development.
However, each work contained brilliant ideas which highlighted this song's speedy feeling, and it was really wonderful.
Everyone, thank you for applying!
Meanwhile, Saback's design contained simple and neat points, as the head, no, around the ear tips, jumped out.
I think there's a good balance which highlights Raizou's characteristic big ears.
Actually, I'm impressed that the design looked great~ when I made the animations and moved them together with the song.
It seems fun to combine the rabbit and rock ptarmigan, and express various "flying" and "leaping" movements!
Also, the comment "moon rabbit ninja" sounds cute, and further expanded the moving images.
I'm honored to be in charge of the animations, so I made him run like a gale, using his many ears and legs! I wanted to make the animations like this!
I'm very nervous, but by all means, I'd be happy if you look forward to the day you can see him in the game. I'll try my best~.
Also, the 2P color matches Paco's Rai-kun, which is PON's favorite coloring.
There are also plans to have some other characters appear as comrades to do ninja training together.
By all means, I hope you'll also look forward to it.
Once again, thank you to everyone who sent in many designs!

The moon ninja flies, leaps, and runs like a gale.
He was attracted by the festival music, and unexpectedly visited the village from a tall mountain peak!
Saback
Ever since I was captivated by the demo, I couldn't wait for this song to be available.
I felt bitter for three days.
As he returned from helping cook on a tall mountain peak, a rabbit was attracted by the festival music coming from the village's base, and flies from the air to his hometown.
After the festival ended, he aimlessly wandered around the pop'n world and spent each day training to become a ninja.
He inhaled smoke while carelessly cooking, but how was it effective?
The moon ninja Raizou secretly participates as a ninja. I'm grateful.
Staff Comments
Chihi
Thank you to Saback and everyone for applying with your lovely characters!
He initially looks fluffy and cute, but when he runs with the song, he has an extremely mysterious charm which conveys his endless coolness.
Raizou's X-shaped mouth is cute, and I wish Mimi also has an X-shape!
It seems like the 3P's WIN animation is a drawing of ramen cooling down. I'm bad at hot things... he's too cute~!!!
masaru
Raizou is the best match for this song's speedy feeling!
His running in the NEUTRAL animation is also cool.
With this seemingly strong ninja character's appearance, perhaps previous ninja characters will be in danger!?
tokky
Raizou's hopping movements are cute! His swift hopping movements are really perfect for this song!
I'd like to have fluffy, swaying ears each time I run.
In his animations, he fights and occasionally relaxes... for some reason, everyone seems to get along well, and I can't help but smile.
eimy
I think this song's image would've slightly changed if it had a cool animation which included mischief and panic, not just speed and coolness.
There are many guest characters surrounding Raizou, and they appear to be good friends, so I'm very curious about what kinds of conversations they're having~!
TAMA
This is the slot I had the most trouble selecting a character for..
Eventually, I remember having a duel between DUCT's "Rin".
That's why I selfishly fantasize them fighting even in the animation.
Ga~su~
He's fluffy and cute.
After all, those ears can fly...!
Mameshiba
Initially, PON's song was planned to appear in the location test, but finally after half a year, we could deliver it to everyone.
In the EX charts, the scales start from white, and continue from left and right.
Its movements are like yakyuken, right?
Well, I thought its genre name was "STRIKE", so I see, is it related to baseball? I was impressed that PON also thought~ about it very much, but it's completely different.
The song title and sample is also available, and the applied characters seemed to have a similar direction, but nevertheless, they show individuality and are interesting.
shio
I enjoyed Mintsuku 20~. We're now starting to accept songs, so look forward to them here!
From the moment I saw this competition entry, I immediately said Raizou "seems fun to move!".
Furthermore, I enjoyed making the animations, as we invited many lovely guest characters.
Firstly, I received PON's song and Saback's illustrations, then I expanded the image and made the animations from that, then PON saw them and thought of ninjutsu... it always feels like this, but pop'n characters are gradually born and raised from various people's ideas.
I'd be happy if everyone experiences the excitement of creating games together in Mintsuku 20~. Thank you to everyone who participated, watched, and played them at the store!

I enjoyed the public character contest.
This song is an instrumental, so I looked forward to seeing what kinds of images came to your mind from the music.
The speedy feeling comes from the rhythm and tempo.
The faint Japanese taste comes from the melody.
The "fight"-style comes from the genre name. Even in the melody, there's some fight happening.
Meanwhile, the applied fluffy ninja met all the requirements. I'll do it. The rabbit.
By the way, the character I thought about wanting to apply for was NEUTRINO MAN, who emphasized a speedy feeling, and was rumored to be the fastest in the world back then. NEUTRINO MAN is fast. Too fast, that no one can see it.
