さよならあなた 全ての終わり ４月８日の嘘じゃないけど さよならいつも すれちがう２人 鏡の中で浮かんで消える 穏やかな朝 檸檬をかじったら ほら 何もかも変わるのよ 誰もいない世界で 不意に微笑みを少し交わすだけ さよならあなた シネマは終わり あの日の嘘をたどっていけば さよならいつか すれちがう２人 硝子の向こう霞んで見える 透き通る朝 釦を外したら ほら 何もかも変わるのよ 誰も来ない世界で 遠いくちづけを少し思うだけ |

Song Production Information
pop'n music 1&2 Official Website
I thought about making something using the select loop as a motif, and before I knew it, it was completed like this.
The lyrics are written by SGI, who sung POPS, the vocalist is SANAE, who has a wonderful whispering voice that can be heard in the beatmania PS version, and the engineer during the vocal recording is the magnificent member TOGO, who's the composer of BOSSA GROOVE.
pop'n music original soundtrack
I used a short looping song as a base, such as the game select, and tried to cram various music essences into it. I don't understand this song well, but I purposely kept some aspects without knowing what they were. This song brings out a mysterious atmosphere, with strange modulations, psychedelic sound effects, and 80's techno-styled synthesizers. The lyricist is SGI, who was in charge of the lyrics and vocals of POPS, and the ennui, whispering voice is by SANAE, who's well-known from the beatmania PS version. aprésmidi is a fictional unit consisting of the duo and myself (HIRO), and may continue to be active in the pop'n music series in the future.
