== Lyrics ==
=== Long Version ===
<pre>One bright Monday morning I overslept
The world ended without harbinger
One bright Monday morning
The world ended fleeting too easily

All the while looking
A spectacle called doomsday
I lost in thought

There was nothing from the beginning, too
Therefore I only muttered...

Neu...(x5)

Pow! Got him in the eye
The melancholy music got me
That matter is settled

Light & dark
Night & day
Smile & cry

Don't be light & dark
Night & day
Smile & cry
You and me!

Neu...

Pow! Got him in the eye
The melancholy music got me
That matter is settled

Light & dark
Night & day
Smile & cry

One bright Monday morning I overslept
One bright Monday morning 
The world ended fleeting too easily

One bright Monday morning I overslept
The world ended without harbinger
One bright Monday morning
The world ended fleeting too easily

Don't be light & dark
Night & day
Smile & cry

Don't be light & dark
Night & day
Smile & cry
You and me!

Neu...(x3)

Pow! Got him in the eye
The melancholy music got me
That matter is settled

Light & dark
Night & day
Smile & cry(x2)</pre>

** The beatmania IIDX ANOTHER chart version samples [[Shounen A|少年A]].
** The jubeat version uses a combination of the pop'n music and beatmania IIDX HYPER and EX/ANOTHER versions, this time sampling [[Shounen ripples|少年リップルズ]].

This long version samples [[OVER THE CLOUDS]] / [[Regulus]], [[Linus]], [[Camomile bathroom|カモミール・バスルーム]], [[Spica]], [[Peppermint wa watashi no teki|ペパーミントは私の敵]], [[Make A Difference]], [[Votum stellarum]], [[Lucy]], [[mind]], [[Boku no hikouki|僕の飛行機]], [[Ikareru ookina shiroi uma|怒れる大きな白い馬]], [[Vairocana]], [[Little Little Princess]], [[Ganymede]], [[hora de verdad]], [[Odoru Fever Robo|踊るフィーバーロボ]], [[Ryouran Hit Chart|繚乱ヒットチャート]], [[Carnival no shuudai ni yoru ningyou no tame no ibitsu na kyousoukyoku|カーニバルの主題による人形のためのいびつな狂想曲]], [[smile]], [[Rokubute|ロクブテ]], [[Natsuyasumi no Bouken|なつやすみのぼうけん]], [[World Spider Web]], [[Saturn]], [[oratio]], [[Himiko|卑弥呼]], [[Habibe (Antuh muhleke)]], [[Haisui no jin|背水之陣]], [[La libertad]], [[Jisei Template|辞世テンプレート]], [[Jo|序]], [[Tabibito Rerun|旅人リラン]], [[perditus paradisus|perditus†paradisus]], [[Gensou reflect|幻想リフレクト]], [[gloom]], [[Remain]], [[BabeL ~roof garden~]], [[prompt]] and [[chilblain]].

== Trivia ==
* Neu, pronounced "noi", is German for "new".
* neu's genre, "niente", is Italian for "nil". In music, this direction refers to a soft sound or tone gradually fading to silence.
* With 1,899 notes on its EX chart, neu has the most notes of any non-LONG Version song in pop'n music history.
* neu is the ''pop'n music 15 ADVENTURE LIMIT BURST (EXTRA STAGE)'' of beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro. It became unlockable on 10/31/2012.
* In beatmania IIDX, neu used [[AC 10th style|beatmania IIDX 10th style]]'s TECHNO generic movie, however, near the end of neu's ANOTHER chart the movie goes black. This might be because the video was adjusted to the NORMAL and HYPER versions' length, which is around 20 seconds shorter than the ANOTHER version of neu.
** This was fixed on December 6th, 2012, when neu's video was changed to beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro's TECHNO generic movie instead.
* In both beatmania IIDX and pop'n music, neu uses its NORMAL version as the music preview.
* neu is one of the songs part of the ''Mimi Nyami & Kotaro no Flying Catch!'' (ミミニャミ・コタローのフライングキャッチ！) event. It can be unlocked in jubeat saucer since June 3rd, 2013.
* neu received a brand new BEGINNER chart in [[AC SPADA|beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA]].

=== Shounen Radio ===
In short: Nothing, nonsense, radio, song, piano, guitar, daybreak, delusion, cultural festivals, genuflection, influenza, tenacity -- all mistaken.

Beyond the light and the dark, nothing remains; who would suggest such a thing?

Nothing.<br>
No merit.<br>
Is this nothing?<br>
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing...

Well, then:<br>
What, exactly, is nothing?

It's a key characteristic of the world of nothingness.<br>
Is it, now?<br>
The world of naught emotion.<br>
Is it, now?<br>
The world of no sound.<br>
Is it, now?<br>
The world of even no pop-kuns.<br>
Is it, now?<br>
Even though it seems rather unreasonable,<br>
In truth, nothing is ever unreasonable.<br>
Therefore, I don't have a single thought.<br>
What is here?

Rather, this is the world of all existence.<br>
Is it, now?<br>
In what way can there be such a thing living without form?<br>
Quite a paradox.

The end of repeating questions and answers<br>
Struggling factions<br>
Before beginnings,
and after endings,<br>
Nothing that lives is questioning

In short:<br>
The beginning and the end of the world has been enclosed.<br>
There, everything has been compressed<br>
Paradoxical nothing is born, unquestioning<br>
Surely I really don't know the meaning of this.

In short:<br>
The world, the light, the darkness, the dawn, the dusk, the smiles, the tears, the closing, the music, the game, the Internet, the feelings, your presence, myself, and some other things here and there...<br>
They have been lumped together.<br>
"Everything shall disappear," it was said,<br>
A worn face scolding with fresh emotion<br>
This is a song, a package with everything in it.<br>
As for the flu --<br>
Well, every time I make music, thoughts like that just spring from my head.

Nevertheless,<br>
this feeling is only another of my creations.<br>
There are a lot of feelings put into pop'n 15 as a whole.<br>
Either way, this harsh world is an interesting yet tough place.

With these words,<br>
even if we have something to lose,<br>
Let's give it our all.

Ahaha.

== Character Information ==
=== Chippi ===
-- Is this a form present in the world? From the joy of light? From the sadness of the dark??<br>
Everything is in it and the small events of past meetings. --

It began with the demo song that May that had mixed opinions...<br>
Even when you think you've understood everything,<br>
This is where all of the boss characters originate from.<br>
Emotions that have been present throughout the years pierce through its body<br>
Of water<br>
Of earth<br>
Of fire<br>
From the joy of light<br>
From the sadness of the dark<br>
In this magnificent world, overnight, a shape was formed.<br>
The purpose of its existence was to begin a trip to seek and meet people all over this new world.<br>
It had met MZD in a past encounter - for a small time, he took care of the form.

Take a careful look; it's the size of your palm.
