降りはじめた雪に包まれながら 伝えたいよ こんな想い say I'm sorry あれからいくつも季節が過ぎて 前髪もかなり伸びた 少し大人びてるわたしを見せたいから まっすぐに見つめたい 正直に伝えたい 同じ罪 くり返しては 傷つけた夏の日々を 悔やんだこと 降りだした雪に包まれながら あの日のままの君が今 近づいてく 振り向いたその笑顔まぶしくて 消えそうなわたしをぎゅっと 抱きしめていて white love

Long Version
Japanese
降りはじめた雪に包まれながら 伝えたいよ こんな想い Say I'm sorry 粉雪の舞う公園通り 二人よくきた散歩道 行きつけのテラスも 今は閉じたまま あれからいくつも 季節（とき）が過ぎて 前髪もかなり伸びた 少し大人びてる わたしを見せたいから まっすぐに見つめたい 正直に伝えたい 同じ罪 くり返しては 傷つけた夏の日々を 悔やんだこと *降りだした雪に包まれながら あの日のままの君が今 近づいてく 振り向いた その笑顔まぶしくて 消えそうなわたしをぎゅっと 抱きしめていて 逢えない日々が 教えてくれた かけがえのない宝物 気付かず居たなんて 何を見ていたんだろう もう何も迷わない もう二度と悔やまない 打ち明けた その瞬間に ひとしずく 涙キラリ こぼれ落ちた 舞い降りた雪は雨に変わって あの日からの距離をそっと つないでゆく 焼き付けたその笑顔優しくて 泣きそうなわたしをずっと つかまえていて * refrain わたしをぎゅっと 抱きしめていて White Love |

Song Production Information
Tomoaki Hirono
It is Tomoaki Hirono, the composer of WHITE LOVERS.
This song was originally written for pop'n music GB.
It powered up and became a vocal song to appear in "7".
I am pleased that its re-appearance came out pretty cute.
pop'n music GB was also released in the winter (it was quite a while ago), pop'n music 7 also started in winter, isn't it a perfect song for this season?
Hitoshi Ozawa
Hello everyone. I'm in charge of the arranging, composer/arranger/music critic Mr. Hitoshi Ozawa.
This song originated on the Game Boy, which had a small amount of organized sounds, so I made the sound of this song while thinking about Hirono.

Because it is WINTER POP, we prepared a white long coat that looks warm. By the way, that's not a hat on her head, but a coat hood...
Since the song was vividly upgraded from GB to AC, I thought it would be fun to do the same for the character as well. So I took inspiration from SANAE♥chan's animation from pop'n 1 through 5 and tried to reconfigure them. Do you know which version was used?
