To those who've already listened to the jubeat copious soundtrack CD, I created this song with very nostalgic orchestral hit sounds, using a sampler sound source app for smartphones... I wrote about the equipment in its liner notes, but for pop'n, I'd like to talk about this song's structure and theme.

This song has so-called 7-beats, but it's actually in an odd time signature which alternates from 3/4 to 4/4, and it also has a complicated structure with reversed combinations by section.<br>
