Lyrics
Erstwhile fairytale The heroine is a caged princess She is so frail and pitiful She and cake looks at the brave men over in the top of the tower every day! "Who do you think you are?" Am I the last person of this? I don't have any cash to pay for this moonlight You are shy! We had a chat in the moonlight You took me for another. Which man is it? Little Little Princess! Come and kidnap me! Come and kidnap me! (I just waiting for you) I know, even the young Beelzebub is tired of you Can't you hear my voice? Can't you hear my song? Get out! My ringing in my ears, vertigo What an ironic fate. Isn't this a romance? God's in his heaven, all's right with the world You must kidnap me! You must kidnap me! (I just waiting for you) You know, I just only yearned for the wonderful world Can't you hear my voice? Have you closed your ears? Bye-bye, nebbish boy! And my incubus! Complicated paradox, isn't this a romance? God's in his heaven, all's right with the world

Song Production Information
Yuei
I'm Yuei, who usually participates in the Gitadora series as part of Handsome JET Project. Hello.
This time, I tag-teamed with wac to make "Little Little Princess".
I mostly played the guitar, but I desperately tried to interfere in some way in the cute and beautiful song that wac tried his hardest to write.
But well, that's wac, whom I somewhat brilliantly praised, which resulted in an amazing song.
I admire his ideas. After all, master wac is amazing.
I wonder if this kind of song is good for IIDX? I thought about this stance. See you.
wac
I'm wac, who usually write songs in the pop'n and IIDX series under makeshift names. Hello.
This time, I tag-teamed with Yuei to make "Little Little Princess", wait, isn't there already 3 of us? Is that a tag? So, we formed a unit with that force.
I was mostly in charge of devising a plan, but since it's Handsome JET Project, it had to be punk. Also, when I was thinking about the song, an acquaintance invited me to go and see an opera, so I somehow went and saw it.
There are many hot conversations at an opera, so it's been a while since I dragged Tokiwa into the festival, heave-ho. After all, I'm from Carnival.
Well, I thought about making a song which emphasizes a punk-styled impact, but I didn't really listen to punk and didn't know if it was alright, so I soon carelessly used trichords. But well, Yuei is here, and while I didn't understand this song well, so he strummed the drum patterns made using the S.G.G., which resulted in a powerful song. After all, Yuei is from Gitadora.
Furthermore, I tried to include my various frustrations of daily life from back then in the lyrics, which somehow became such a strange song. But, it's fictional. It's very, very, very fictional.
Also, what's terrible about this song is that as a result of the distant digital communication between Kobe and Tokyo, both JET and Tokiwa never heard the other's singing voices.
If anything, perhaps they don't know who they are. It's quite terrible.
It's an ironic fate that people seem to say their music is more suited to other games than IIDX, but isn't this romantic? I thought about this stance. See you.
Video Production Information
MAYA
From wac to MAYA, "please take care of it~".
I'm somewhat happy to be in charge of this video!
After I received the lyrics, I felt excited about the cute, cute tomboyish princess, so I immersed myself in princesses and heroes (and many more).
The stage is a puppet theater around the size of a finger puppet.
After all, it's opera.
While admiring the princess' maiden heart, worrying about the many heroes, and jealous of the sound staff's likeness, this is the most straightforward movie I've made.
