I used the resonator guitar from the pop'n live at Nippon Seinen-kan Hall (aka dobro guitar), and I completely like the strange metal-like "myo" sound, so I tried to use it in this song.<br>

In the long version, we welcomed two talented guitarists as guest musicians; [[Kenji Suzuki]] (a guitarist for singers such as Misia), and [[Katsuhiko Suzuki|Nazo²Suzuki]] (a cheeky pop'n director). It became a W Suzuki battle!

A.O.R in the 70's~80's generally has a "refreshing/light feeling/West Coast" image, but the abbreviation of A.O.R. in this song is "Adult Oriented Rock" = Rock aimed at adults, so the genre name means "acceptable ROCK which is appreciated by adults".

The guitar I'm playing in this movie clip is a resonator guitar (aka dobro guitar), which contains a unique sound amplified by the metal soundboard attached to the body of the guitar, and seems like a neutral(?) evolution from the acoustic guitar to the electric guitar.

Musically, as seen in Sana's above comment, she has a different image to the pop'n character [[SANAE-chan]], so perhaps that's represented as one side of the real 'Sana'... (a significant meaning!)

Sana's world has expanded to the point where she has [[Sana-mode|released]] [[Sanative|three]] [[Pop'n music Artist Collection Sanae Shintani|albums]] before I noticed, but the movie promotion was in a shortened state as usual (sweats).<br>
Her first movie appearance was in "[[SANA MOLLETE NE ENTE -B.L.T. STYLE-|SANA・MOLLETE・NE・ENTE(B.L.T. STYLE)]]", but I feel that in the passage of time, she was able to naturally sing and perform without asking me, compared to that time.<br>
