== Music Comment ==
A special jazz-flavored mondo sound. Daba daba~.

== Song Production Information ==
Actually, I started to create this song for beatmania IIDX. Initially, it was "acoustic lounge", but I recreated it because it didn't work well. After discussing with dj nagureo that this song didn't suit beatmania, it ended up being included in pop'n 2.<br>
sugi performs the drums, while sana and togo perform the "daba daba" chorus. The participating members make a magnificent group.

== Character Information ==
reo★kun, who's recently a club DJ, has also provided songs to beatmania. reo★kun's melody lines and sexy sighs make girls fall in love, once again!
