When the production entered the final stage, wouldn't it be interesting if the 3 congas act as separate folk instruments each, while everyone has a percussion session? When I thought of this, I wrote this song with a Gamelan theme.<br> | |||
Since each conga has a separate phrase, I think it's enjoyable to play with 2 people.<br> | |||
I tried to make the center conga a love-dovey zone, and searched for various ways where your hands could touch the sequences, but due to the specifications, it was rejected... the lovey-dovey strategy failed (laughs).<br> | |||
Since gamelan phrases are also often used in techno, this song also took over techno-ish trends.<br> | |||
However, gamelan scales are very similar to Okinawan scales. Was it probably conveyed as Bali → Okinawa? | |||

==== TOMOSUKE ==== | |||
I love gamelan music!<br> | |||
I still love gamelan! | |||
So, this is a crossover from [https://web.archive.org/web/20050228003752fw_/http://www.konami.co.jp/am/AM/mamboagogo/mambo_ug/songs.html MAMBO A GO GO].<br> | |||
The word gamelan represents the music style and instruments used in it.<br> | |||
This instrument called gamelan has extremely distinct overtone components, with the music style and musical scales making it extremely trancey and playful.<br> | |||
I think there are quite many musicians who noted that this instrument really fits repetitive music genres such as minimal and trance. | |||
The title is Gamelan de Couple because I originally wanted couples to play it together in MAMBO.<br> | |||
So, the MAMBO notecharts were created for couples to enjoy playing it. | |||
Well, for the pop'n charts, I really recommend finger pressing this!<br> | |||
Since it's originally a percussive song, when you flexibly move and press well with the back of your hand, it creates a very pleasant trance like playing percussion.<br> | |||
Instead of individually pressing each button, please try to think of a great hand flow. | |||
If you do that, all good children should also love gamelan! | |||

This is a renewal of a character who also appeared in beatmania THEFINAL! Actually, his name is "Leonardo". He's named by a certain programmer. It seems intuitive. It doesn't have a deep meaning. I'm currently looking for cactus names! | |||
Orange, whose various songs have appeared, apparently seems to resemble his creator. | |||

This is a crossover from the nostalgic MAMBO!<br> | |||
The green song card image strongly remained in my mind. | |||
==== [[Ryuta Tamura|tama]] ==== | |||
Although I played MAMBO A GO GO, it was completely impossible. | |||
==== [[Shinichiro Yamanaka|Daniel]] ==== | |||
Gamelan is a noun of the verb gamel (hit, grab). | |||
==== [[Kiyoshi Murai|Seiya Murai]] ==== | |||
I like gamelan.<br> | |||
Or rather, Japanese people quite like the gamelan, right? Isn't it probably from the festival music? Doesn't it probably make the Japanese festival loving blood excited?<br> | |||
Although there are some gamelan-styled songs in the BEMANI series, this is also an intense gamelan!<br> | |||
Although it's too difficult and it doesn't feel like I could clear it, when I hear that the people next to me can clear it, I also become passionate. | |||
==== [[eimy]] ==== | |||
I somehow love these kinds of songs, right~? Although it feels like too many people say they like this song in the comments here and there, please don't worry about it. Everyone somehow likes it. I can't choose. I want to find a lovely Southeast Asian man and live a carefree life. | |||
==== wac ==== | |||
My memories of Gamelan de Couple? OK, let's talk about it.<br> | |||
Looking back 5 years ago, I was involved in developing pop'n 8. Around that time in a Nishi-Shinjuku arcade, it doesn't really matter that TOMOSUKE and I were surprised to see many single players playing a song meant for two people.<br> | |||
pop'8's main feature was the crossover songs from other game series, which wasn't very common in pop'n back then.<br> | |||
When I retrieve these memories, I'm certain that it was during New Years Day when I went to a hot spring with TOMOSUKE, who I just shortly met and were both reserved. "I'd like to cross over MAMBO's songs, but what do you think? Thank you for your support and please remember me" "Not at all, by all means, we'd also love to cross it over. Thank you for your support and please remember me" Through that exchange, MAMBO's songs were included in pop'n 8.<br> | |||
I'm certain that Gamelan de Couple was the top candidate at that time, but I just included a song which exactly sounded Gamelan-ish in the [[AC pnm 7|previous game]], so it went away. And during [[AC pnm 12|Iroha]], I moved this song aside and included [[Klungkung 1655|GAMELAN]] from [[AC KBM 3rd|KEYMANI]].<br> | |||
So, this somehow became the third Gamelan song in pop'n. The pop'n team loves gamelan. | |||
