To all pop'n fans. It's been a while. I'm TAGstroemeria.<br>
I received an extremely interesting order from [[Daichi Watanabe|PON]], "when crossing it over, I'd be happy if you can summarize and write about the character in 3 lines.", so I'll summarize it in 3 lines.
Wow------<br>
Chise's cute!!<br>
That's all.

This song actually started as a Gitadora boss song.
One day, when I was loudly playing the piano as usual, a nice phrase came to my mind, so I made it from that development.<br>
Its atmosphere is similar to Chronos, and it's 7/8 time signature is a progressive style.
I created this to be completed as Chronos2, but as Gitadora fans might know, Chronos didn't have such a high difficulty level as a boss song [[AC GFDM V6|back then]]. I tried to somehow make this song have a high difficulty level for Gitadora, but it was very difficult. Since the Gitadora V series didn't have many buttons or pads, I was able to mess around to a certain extent, but with the increased number of buttons in the XG series, I needed to think quite a bit about creating charts with an authentically high difficulty level.
After worrying about this, I felt that it'd be difficult to make this song more difficult, so I discarded it.
As time passed, I received an order to create a Chronos-ish song for jubeat, and after thinking "Can I use this song from that time here!?", I recovered the discarded data and composed it. Since it's jubeat, I stopped using a complicated 7/8 time signature, and simply used 4/4. Also, even though it isn't a boss song, I needed to make the gameplay exciting to a degree, so I made the chorus 16-beats.
That's how I completed this song. It's currently included in many titles, and has previously been included in other companies' games, so I think it has support from extremely many players. I can't create many songs like this in my career as a creator, so I'm very thankful.
It reached second place in TAG's No.1 song competition conducted last year.
Since there are differences in tastes between creators and listeners, even if a creator thinks "this is a successful result", listeners often say that it's not popular. Conversely, it has a good reputation where they say "this has an alright result".
When I completed this song, I've felt an unprecedented reaction where they said '''"this is amazing!"'''. As everyone knows from the following reputation, this is an extremely rare case where the creators and listeners' tastes aligned.
By the way, my remade Gitadora boss song which replaced Alstroemeria is the eventual [[EXCELSIOR DIVE]].

I was surprised when I heard that the image was of a fashionable girl, but it was packed with TAG's deep thoughts.<br>
I'd be happy if this smile will make you slightly relieved.

The cherry blossoms are in full-bloom amidst the graduation ceremony....<br>
She's a bit lonely, but she'll say goodbye to you with a smile!

Since Alstroemeria is a jubeat crossover, it's Chise, the girl in the jacket!
 
Her hakama is nice, isn't it~?! A furisode is lovely, but speaking of graduation ceremonies, isn't it the hakama, as expected?<br>
However, I don't usually see it, so the hem's movement is somehow difficult, and I asked a male staff member who had a hakama, "let's actually wear and move in it", and he actually wore it and spun round and round (laughs).<br>
I struggled a lot since this was my first character animation, but it was very interesting to receive various advice from the pop'n team while creating her!!
 
When I completed her, she looked graceful, yet surprisingly tomboyish.<br>
I'd be happy if you can strongly see Chise's unexpected side, which can't just be felt in the jacket.<br>
Personally, my favorite is her jubeat jacket-styled fever win animation!
 
As an inside story, Chise's birthday is on 3/25, the same as the composer TAG.<br>
Let's celebrate together~!!

Although it's very difficult to unlock this song, I emphasized on this song's image and purposely didn't make the notecharts extremely difficult.<br>
I preciously created them as a blessing to those who unlocked it, and with TAG's thoughts.
 
I hope this is an important song to those who play it forever.
