It's the lapis-loving, vanishing Phantom.
 
I had two ideas for this character, a reptile or a bat; onoken made the decision for me.<br>
When he said that the song image easily came to mind when looking at the design, I was very happy!
 
At the beginning, I decided that the character image would be "kaleidoscope", and that the motifs would be "garlands" and "bats".
 
The way that kaleidoscopes shift and change so beautifully reminded me of a gemstone, but I had trouble figuring out how to express the theme of gemstones through this character.<br>
The small floating parts around their body give a nice impression, and I felt the way they spin around would look nice when animated.
 
Originally they wore much less clothing; but since this is nice, friendly pop'n, I ended up making the costume more decent.<br>
Although it may seem a bit suggestive at first, if you take a proper look they're properly dressed.
 
The character I wanted to create was a calm and silent type who could all of a sudden become breathtakingly fearsome. I made the charm point their bright red tongue, and the way they lick the red lapis.<br>
The 2P colours are further based on the kaleidoscope image.
