Lyrics
Feeling blue, I'm thinking of you. Oh, I was a fool to let you walk away. Tears in my eyes today make my world... The color of blue. Red with a twist Orange of the fire Green of tourmaline Yellow mellow hello, hello Paint me a smile I am covered and colored with one, only one. Cause, baby, I'm alone, alone without you What am I supposed to do? I'm alone, alone without you I'm the Color of blue. Feeling blue, I'm thinking of you. Oh, I was a fool to let you walk away. Tears in my eyes today make my world... The color of blue. Feeling blue, I'm thinking of you. Oh, I was a fool to let you walk away. Tears in my eyes today make my world... The color of blue.

Music Comment
pop'n music 9→13 カーニバル
That IIDX masterpiece is revived in pop'n. You can't get enough of the combination of trancey sounds with sweet vocals!!!
pop'n music 14 FEVER! onwards
The "color" surrounding me is a sad blue that dissolves into the sky. The transparent vocals color the worldview, so to speak, it's trance!
Song Production Information
dj TAKA
If you're familiar with the NM-produced dance pop song HIGHER, CHIYOKO, who's also known as Sunny, is featured in this trance track. It's titled "Colors", which is also 6th style's theme, but I actually had the color blue in mind when I created it. The two synths I often use to create trance music are both a beautiful blue color, and this track is an extension of that image.
It's strange to say it myself, but perhaps the songs I make contain a blue image, don't they? It's not a deep blue, but a pale blue, like floating in the sky....
YUZ, who created the movie without any special meetings, has a good understanding of my musicality, and caused me to cry a little when I saw this movie once production finished. I hope you'll enjoy it as complex art combined with visuals...... that was self-praised.
Video Production Information
VJ YUZ
I didn't plan to make this video at all, but before I knew it, I became in charge of it...
Since players can't view the center of the screen and appreciate it while playing moderately dense notecharts, I thought about various ways to make it so they could enjoy the alternating colors and feel the large moving links.
The entire process was difficult until I had a clear image of the artwork.
