TЁЯRA has provided numerous songs to the pop'n music, beatmania?UDX, and Gitadora series, but DDR hasn't received a new song from them until now, so "Hana ranman -Flowers-" will be TЁЯRA's first DDR original song.<br>

DDR superNOVA is the global standard, so in that case, I'm expressing my Japanese identity through music... the concept isn't an interpretation of Japanese traditional folk music such as "Mugen no hikari", so while the song contains feelings of "harmony", I also intend to create a HYPER J-POP sound containing strong and catchy elements.<br>

If you listen carefully, it's also made with a Western music style. This deep musical element is the whole point of this song.<br>

If you borrow the attraction song from SUPER NOVA, you need to bring the characters together! was what I unreasonably asked. It was a very busy place during the development's climax... Thank you very much! EMI's costume is casual and I was worried about whether it would suit the song, but I learned that the hidden costume is a dress which also says the lyrics, fuwari!, so I was lucky!<br>

As a side note, when I imagined KIKYO was the leading character because of the Japanesque connection, it was very surreal seeing him dancing and holding a skull to the lyrics shalala shalala while expressionless.
