Song Production Information

BEMANI Sound Team "Saori Watanabe"

Nice to meet you, rookie Saori Watanabe here. Please, remember my name ＜(＿ ＿)＞
This time, I can use my arrangement of the famous "Dolly's Dreaming and Awakening" by Oesten in beatmania IIDX, then BEMANI Sound Team's senior L said "Think of the song title and artist name".
Although I decided that the name of the song would be "Bathroom romance" when I was working on it, the artist name was a bit ... At that time I was extremely shocked, worried a little, somehow, thinking about it now.
I cannot think about that now, so whatever the name is! I thought.
Because I'm myself, and a song I make is one I make. So, if you listen to the sounds, everybody will know.

So, I borrowed the name of a university classmate.
Saori is very cute, tall, and has a good style, I've been to a famous magazine for my introduction, and I was called the ○○ University's Harumi Inoue.
Talking about Harumi Inoue, that was a pretty good year for accomplishments.
Around that time, I noticed that there are many pretty girls with a Watanabe surname.
Nakamura and Takahashi are also pretty, but after all I think that Watanabe is the best.
"......!!"
I almost have no time to talk about the song while I was talking about other stories....
Please let me say one thing. When I was talking on LINE with ○cchie, who was charge of the charts, he "laughed out loud" early in New Year, so I was convinced that my aim wasn't wrong.
I'm sorry, I won't come back.
Please forgive me. To everyone, I'll guarantee you. From the bathroom, with love.

This is my first participation in IIDX.
It's a bright, fun, and familiar melody, but with a fresh take, making an exciting fun song.
I want to have a bathroom life like this... Bathing is nice, right...?
It would be great if you have a fun time with this song.
Have a good bath time~!
