Lyrics

Everyone says,
eating peppermint candy makes inside of the mouth feel cool and refreshed.
Nonsense! That's wrong.
If my first impression of a man is so bad,
I fall in love with him, lately, that's true.

He has peppermint, he has peppermint.
There is a space of peppermint.
Between he and I, between he and I.
There is a space of peppermint.

Peppermint, he has peppermint.
If I suck on a drop, my head swims.
I feel the space move.
I fall head over heels from the scaffolding.

Where am I? Who am I? Where am I?
Peppermint, peppermint, peppermint, my enemy.
I don't know why, but I cried to the sky, ha! ha!

Song Production Information

wac

It seems like a while ago, but maybe is it just my imagination?
Well, I lived around the Keio Line when I was making this song, and I think it was during this time when a home run ball shattered the glass window and fell inside my house. It's not something I often write about.
So even when I hear this song now, it reminds me of the long hills on my way to work, super public baths, and glass stores. Super public baths are the best. I remember that the MALL sound director instructed me to make something like Camomile! I tried hard to remember! Of course I remember that it was within the past year! I can't wait to write New Year's cards!
By the way, happy new year. I'm writing a card now! It's the Year of the Sheep.

As a side note, I have to explain what Camomile is to those of you who only play Gitadora, but pop'n has a song called Camomile bathroom.
The summoning of Tokiwa-san into this world should be commemorated regardless. If Funaki hadn't listened to this song, the vocals in Chocophilo might've been different. Maybe. Certainly. I don't think so. I don't know.
By the way, for those of you only familiar with pop'n, I have to explain what Chocophilo is. It's CHOCOLATE PHILOSOPHY, a Gitadora song and come to think of it, it's in pop'n now, too. That's great.

Furthermore, I asked Morino from risette to play the guitar. By the way, it's fine for those who only play Gitadora. It's the name of a band.
In addition, I asked him to play the guitar again for GuitarFreaks this time, which I'm eternally grateful for.
Mr. T also re-did the drums with me in the range that only he could play. Through his guidance, I made some changes exclusively in pop'n, which I also took this opportunity to challenge. A boat crossing over the river between both game serie. I said something nice, didn't I?
I'll challenge you too. We're challenge mates. Challenge mates. But I haven't accumulated points so I can't buy it yet.

This song also has proper lyrics following the reflection of something from the previous time. The world doesn't always work out that way, but let's do our best.

Video Production Information

I had a lot of fun working on this project because the song was in a genre that I really like.
We were able to come up with a lot of ideas while working with Usagi:oh that I would not have thought of on my own, and I think it turned out to be a cute movie.
I hope you all enjoy it☆

Usagi:oh

Following on from beatmania, I had the pleasure of working with serinorica again. seri's drawings are cute and have a world view which helps me visualize the animation more and more. We naturally got really into it, and the movie was so well done that we kept complimenting each other (laughs). Please play it and watch the movie as many times as you like.
