Music Comment

DANCE 86.4

Everyone, young and old, cheerfully ta-ta ta-ra-ri-ra!

pop'n music

That very popular song has appeared. Let's play Pompokolinpoko.

Song Production Information

Des-ROW

When you carefully listen to Pompokolin again, it's hot, after all!
It's too hot, the hot bassline is hot after all, uhehe.
This makes it quite fun and great to play in the game, hehe.

Character Information

eimy

The long-awaited Pompokolin has finally arrived! I'm happy.
This was the only song I could sing when I went to karaoke for the first time when I was younger. I used to live in the countryside, so I clearly remember that day when I first went to karaoke. I also clearly remember the taste of the grilled rice balls I ate when I first went there that day. I said too much.

I suddenly~ and energetically~ wondered if I could draw the animations like that, and just before pop'n 14 was completed, I finally understood the meaning of this song's title and lyrics.
Pompokolin = stomach, right? That sound is from a stomach, right?
I didn't create the heartwarming scene in the WIN animation from a misunderstanding, so please definitely don't laugh at it!

Choreography Information

Kaoruko

Since this song was a big hit in the past, I fully used the choreography from back then, and arranged the three calico girls for one dancer.
I added a lot of hand playing movements, such as a three-way rock-paper-scissors.

Anyone can dance to it, from young children to the elderly, and look unique... if someone sees you dance to it in the game, your dance will be applauded.
Please make more friends with this game!

The first boom was around 16~17 years ago.
I was staying in the United States back then, and I was told that this song "is currently trending in Japan". It's nostalgic....

Chihi

I remember jumping rope to this song back then... come to think of it, it's been quite a long time since I first listened to it~
It definitely happened when I was staying in the United States... (I just wanted to say this!)

Kobaken

Even if your belly button shows while you're energetically playing it, that's common sense, so please "ta-ra-ri-ra" to it.

TOMOSUKE

When this song first trended, I secretly listened to my father singing it in the bathroom (and he mistook the lyrics as Pompolin), so somehow, this song makes me feel embarrassed. Sorry dad.

masaru

FEVER! → dance → dancing → odoru! That's how we decided on Pompokolin. Really?
