Lyrics

Japanese

閉ざされたテーマじゃ
高鳴りも空の嘘
さっぱり切り棄てた
好機のやり口

絡み合うチートに
手繰られる空模様
ぽっかり宇宙にあずけた
正義も傷む頃

口寄せに拒まれる依代
天命も取り違い枯れた神さま

いつか心が尽きる
その前にそう
もう一度だけ
魔法を
もう一度だけ

編み込まれた絆
放り出した意思は
狙い定め指打つ　他人任せの未来

あの時の嘘が
僕ら別つなら
針のキルト　もうほどいてしまえ

Music Comment

Stories intertwining among people are like woven knits. How about these kinds of 6-color strings dyed in Quilt?

Song Production Information

Sana

When I was suddenly asked to "sing this song", it wasn't because you didn't have time to ask someone else, right?
When I heard the demo, I felt that it was better for a man to sing this, but it wasn't made for men, right?
When I actually tried to sing it while saying this, it's strange that I gradually started to like "Quilt" more~.

Des-ROW

This story is from a long time ago, so I don't know how I created it anymore, but various people did their best.
In particular, wakkk worked hard on various things.
That's it! I remember that he selfishly changed my melody, but that's alright.
I remember completing it at a tight schedule under last moment circumstances. Gehehe
When it comes to the soundtrack, I want to properly remix and perfect it.
That's why I like this song.

PON

I'm PON from the rhythm team!
This is my first time collaborating without arranging anything, but it was an enjoyable and valuable experience.
This also appears in jubeat, and it feels like a festival!!

When I received the first demo from Des, wac and I looked at each other and said of the avant-garde song, "is, is brass included in here!".
Gulp... I also swallowed raw saliva.
I chugged it, as people say.

Well, I eventually stopped using brass.

The rhythm team remade it based on Des' drum section, and worked carefully using a PON-like approach while maintaining a Des-like essence, such as intense fill and halftime.
The bass also fully uses a Des sense, which I enjoyed using the bass boost & bright timbres, but what do you think?
As a result, 8-beats is simple and supreme after all, so I felt satisfied.
When playing it, it's fun to imagine us appearing in turns!

96

Hello everyone. I was in charge of playing the guitar and wah-wah.
The production time was short anyhow, so I'm deeply impressed to see people wearing glasses while helping out with various things.

TOMOSUKE

It's me....
This was during a boring afternoon.
I braced myself with an anxious look and slowly plucked flower petals one at a time, saying "Rhodes" and "piano".
When I plucked the last petal while absentmindedly saying "Rhodes", I suddenly looked up and saw a man wearing glasses standing.
All he said was "well, the Rhodes solo", and quickly left without adjusting his misaligned glasses.
I remember such event like a dream.

wac

I made this with my wonderful friends.

The representative staff member of each game series probably works alone until their song is perfectly completed, which was a collaborative project between each game series.
All six pop'n staff members gathered together to make one song, which is somewhat embarrassing, so it's a very inefficient song.

People say that we don't really know who's doing what, but they're assigned to their respective roles as mentioned above.
Well, I generally work on other things.
My initially envisioned role was as a director or planner, and I thought that if I could assign roles to everyone at work, it'd be completed while I take a nap, but before I knew it, I faced various difficulties in tears.

Below is a brief story of how "Quilt" was made
↓
MUSCLE and Shocco told me to "work on a collaborative project. Make a song for it"→Well, let's make a Des song for pop'n. Can you please do it?→D "OK. I'll make a demo. Since I'm busy, 96 will play the guitar"→If 96 is participating, let's do something like a collaboration with everyone→Des' demo arrives→Wow, It's too avant-garde, I don't understand it at all, and there's no melody→What will PON do?→P "I don't know at all"→Well, let's just sleep for now→Sho "well, there's one week left until the deadline"→Oh no, don't touch it→But the demo is still too difficult to understand→Let's copy it by ear for now→Let's cut out the parts we don't understand for now→Since it's better to end with a bang than a whimper, let's move the hook to the chorus→Oh no, there isn't a hook→Since the intro is cool, let's expand it into the hook→Well, D will add the melody→D "I added it"→An electric piano in the ending sounds nice. After all, I want it to be a collaboration with everyone. I'll play it if there's an electric piano. Well, I'll play the Rhodes solo...→T "OK, I played it"→As expected of his skill. That's right, who's the vocalist?→Sana is the hottest pop'n-like vocalist here→OK, I'll secretly cater the melody to Sana→"Sana, please sing it tomorrow. By the way, I'll give you the demo tomorrow"→Sana graciously accepted it. Probably→Well, 96 will play the guitar while Sana is singing→PON, let's also do something. Well, let's clearly remake it as a rhythm team→Oh, Sana's going to sing it in one hour, but there's still no lyrics→Well, I'll write the lyrics with a truly knit feeling where everyone's intertwined→I did it. Before I realized, the knit turned into a quilt→I recorded Sana's vocals→She's really amazing. Then what could I do when I enter Des' booth?→D "here's my chorus"→I didn't ask for it, but that's alright
↓
Thus, "Quilt" was made. Thank you, everyone.
Please enjoy our bonds woven with tremendous force.

Video Production Information

None.

Character Information

A girl who came from jubeat.
A red thread that meshes with a lonesome look... who's she waiting for?

Chihi

I created her from the unprecedented process of receiving her lovely illustrations from jubeat, and making her a pop'n character.
The deep blue to pink gradations, her fluffy hairstyle, and sad expressions, were somehow in the jubeat illustrations from the beginning.
I finished and included her braided hairstyle accent, her beautiful hair color representing jubeat knit's theme color, and her detailed outfit. This kind of backstory is somewhat lovely!

I was extremely worried about whether her outfit should be a knit or quilt, but it eventually resulted in a slightly frayed dress.
Even if her outfit was a quilt, her name will certainly be "quilt". It's great that pop'n is easy to understand.

Everyone collectively blamed me for her slightly "huh" LOSE animations, and when I was about to stop, the director masaru suddenly came over

"Don't quit"

And patted my back, I'll never forget everyone!

I wonder if it's embarrassing to just have leggings after all... I suddenly thought. I eventually added shorts, which I didn't plan to do.
I'm really glad I added it.
I feel relieved these days.

Staff Comments

jubeat

isonin

I wanted to collaborate with the pop'n team! This is knit, who was originally created from my selfishness. With just the song's image and a rough sketch of knit, I asked everyone in the pop'n team to "please make a character from this".
They created a very cute child, so it already left me breathless.

pop'n music

eimy

I've always loved Sana, but this song is so cool that I reached a point where I've lost my path. A guilty person...///
With each great discovery, it'd be interesting to see if there's a collaboration series just like this.

masaru

When it was first introduced at AOU, it was somewhat exciting!
I think you can imagine various names involved here from the artist name.
Is this the first time you've experienced this kind of luxurious song?

mayo

knit is cute.
Finally, I recommend knit's back view from her LOSE animations, which is moving.

Ga~su~

When I first listened to this, I was surprised that this song was more powerful than I thought.
By all means, please GET and play it in jubeat.
The CLEAR animation joke is must-see for jubeat players!

tokky

When I saw knit's shocking LOSE animations & that animation, I was surprised when I heard about the circumstances of how that animation was made.
I'm an adult~.

Mameshiba

Players' first impression: "Huh? Was it not a big deal right now? Is it alright? Is CERO alright with it?"
Their second impression: "What, she's wearing shorts."
The important part isn't about shorts, but the process of getting there.
Cough.
This "Quilt" was sent here by super luxurious members.
The character in this song is "knit".
Please take care of her.

TAMA

This song was sent here by a luxurious team.

knit is a somehow a hot topic when it comes to her LOSE animations.
As expected, the pop'n team prides itself on erotica... or rather, the H designer in charge, Chihi.
She's continuing on from Quatro

Otsu

It's said to be very popular and erotic on the streets, where people try to lose, but I also love the "it's you!" part of her WIN animations.

shio

Lovely songs from each game series were gathered from MUSCLE's call, and I laughed when it was obvious that pop'n had too many people involved. Isn't it mean to call the helpers Gian and Shizu? But, GJ!
I was initially worried about how the song will turn out from this combination... no, my heart was pounding with anticipation, but the melancholic and sweet singing voice, and intense guitar connect well together!
The character design was also a collaboration with the jubeat team, and it was very interesting. Thank you very much for all your support! knit is quiet on the outside, but I wonder~ if she's a girl with intense thoughts hidden inside her.

Also, speaking of "Des-Sana", I remember "Pray to the stars!". Congratulations on the past 7 years! That's right. I also pray to the stars that people who requested for that duo are hopefully~ listening to this song☆ミ
