== Lyrics ==
=== Game Size ===
<pre>Cracked cup and sooty pot
Sweet'n sweety coffee and tepid pie
Tickless clock show four AM
Silly TV says a pack of lies

Hungry cat and withered plant
Crumpled shirt and strained pants
Mailbox eats many junky foods
Neighbors quarrel about there border line

Don't be suffer alone I'll tell you what to do
Fly high...
I know what you're afraid about

Straighten up arms and keep on flapping like birds
Fly high...
To the place you have never ever seen before</pre>

=== Long Version ===
{{hide text|<pre>Cracked cup and sooty pot
Sweet'n sweety coffee and tepid pie
Tickless clock show four AM
Silly TV says a pack of lies

Hungry cat and withered plant
Crumpled shirt and strained pants
Mailbox eats many junky foods
Neighbors quarrel about there border line

Don't be suffer alone I'll tell you what to do
Fly high...
I know what you're afraid about

Straighten up arms and keep on flapping like birds
Fly high...
To the place you have never ever seen before

Slicker's lip and clumsy kiss
Tedious song and childish game
Many ants aim at candy box
Gold fish is swimming around up side down

Faithful dog and naughty kid
Rousty bike and ragged shoes
Noisy PC gives up tiny works
Bookmark is keeping up the end of page

Now, the time has come, don't throw away your memories
Fly high...
You should take courage and fly

Straighten up arms and keep on flapping like birds
Fly high...
To the place you have never ever seen before</pre>}}

== Music Comment ==
How do you escape from a boring life? The answer is here... in Sana's new song.

== Song Production Information ==
=== Seiya Murai ===
Master Hiro adviced me "we need to include at least one Sana song here, after all", so I included a song that fits Sana's image so far. I also wrote English lyrics for this song. When Sana listened to the demo tape, she loved it, and with the addition of her own singing tone during the recording, it turned out very stylish.<br>
It might be very difficult to listen to this song with the explosive sounds from an arcade, but when the [[pop'n music 4 arcade originals|soundtrack]] releases, I hope you can carefully listen to it in a quiet room.

== Character Information ==
Birthplace: Japan<br>
Hobbies: Guitar, singing<br>
Likes: Her guitar, Shiro!<br>
Dislikes: She doesn't like smokers.

[[RIE-chan|RIE♥chan]] created another cute outfit for her. She's happy that it also perfectly matches with her favorite beret.

=== INUCHIYO ===
I decided on SANAE♥chan and RIE♥chan while discussing it with the female designers. I tried to make her have calmer colors than RIE♥chan, and her animations eventually turned out like this after worrying for several days, because her previous movements didn't really suit her. I also tried to revive her energetic pose.
