Lyrics

I've been invited to a summer festival
The music surrounds me on this special night
I find myself getting lost in the moment
Graciously dancing and you're in my sight
You're stepping along can't get my eyes off of you
Then I see you're looking back at me
Could this be what I think it is?
Can feel my heart beat like a new butterfly

I know you've got to be the one
I could tell when our eyes met each other
I can't help my knees are feeling weak

※ As I feel myself falling fast
  You've got the cutest little smile
  We can tell there's attraction going on now
  Stars are all aligning
  One-by-one for our love
  You are my Prince Charming
  And you make me feel like I am a KIMONO♥PRINCESS

I'm not dreaming
I know you've got to be the one
I could tell when our eyes met each other
I can't help my knees are feeling weak

※ repeat

Music Comment

An elegant princess is dancing to this fusion of a Japanese taste with a miracle happy hardcore☆

Song Production Information

jun

From DDR to DanceEvolution, the kimono princess has finally landed in pop'n♥
Being able to play this song in various ways makes me feel really happy.

For KIMONO♥PRINCESS, I aimed to make a pop and cute melody, which is easy to play despite the fast BPM.
I would be happy if you play this song for a long time, sometimes dancing to it, and hitting buttons other times.

Character Information

None.

Staff Comments

PON

I missed seeing jun and wac arguing about charts in front of the arcade cabinet.
I thought they were arguing about the chart layout, but before I knew it, they discussed the difficulty of using Twitter.
So that's when I realized.

...No...
...Wait...
...This is...

... Isn't this the legendary "double jun×jun"!!
(Yes, the double jun×jun theme song is played here)
Being surrounded by the double jun×jun conversations caused me to slowly become a jun too.

Only EX has the soflan gimmick, but it's not an exaggeration to say that jun's aggressive part was like that.
But rather, jun's kindness is not shown throughout the entire chart.
It's amazing, jun!

masaru

To those of you who liked this song!
By all means, please dance to it in DanEvo!

shio

The DanEvo choreography for KIMONO♥PRINCESS has too much of a strong impact, so the dance appears in my mind even if I'm playing pop'n.
Join both hands together, and bow left and right. I heard a strange story that Japanese people use one hand to chop through a crowd, but this song is also like a cross-cultural exchange.

You can see the choreography in the official movie here. Remember it and make your DanEvo ARCADE debut!

Chihi

Is this Princess KIKYO?~ She's a high-class kimono princess, isn't she! Oh, boots.
I was surprised at the opening BPM and skeleton, that I "quickly!" fell~.
But I was alright because I had a full stomach.
Wasn't she the person who liked skeletons...?
It's OK to be full, but I want to take better care of myself.

Ga~su~

Even if I know it's coming, the low speed in the middle section defeats me..

wac

For me, The World stops can be placed in DDR charts.
Time stops flowing in these type of songs.
After that, the consistency somehow fits together.
I still don't understand that logic, but it's reproduced in pop'n like this.
I have to calculate the number of bars and beats using advanced math skills, which my brain hasn't used in a while, and I almost burn out from overheating, but it's not bad to occasionally exercise it.
This was the most difficult math I've ever done.

Mameshiba

I shouted "Whoa!" with all my might.
I heard the song a lot beforehand, so I thought I knew it...
And before the hook... Will that day come when I can see it...
I like its high-tension feeling.

The unlock quest, "Kimono Princess", appears after clearing the "This Shining Fashion Season", "Welcome Fantasy", and "Oriental Rapids" quests.
"This Shining Fashion Season" is a green quest. Even if it's a shining object, it's not a mackerel or sardine.
"Oriental Rapids" is a red quest, with the unlock conditions stated here.
