+The summer sky brings back faint memories. Let's put brand-new feelings in this singing voice.

+=== Anata mo★ pop'n vocalist! Official Website ===
+==== Seiya Murai ====
+There were many entries in this public vocal audition, and I was able to suddenly participate halfway through it.<br>
+In the first screening, while [[Jun Wakita|wac]], [[Daichi Watanabe|PON]], and I listened to each application separated in 3 sessions, and from the hundreds of demo songs I listened to, I was unexpectedly immersed in Akinari's falsetto voice, who elegantly sang a female Vo song in the original key as a man, and I invited him to the second screening to have them both listen to it, then we had a final interview with him.
+Akinari, who I met at the interview, is a tall and relaxed man with a currently "soft and fluffy" feeling.<br>
+I had a very favorable impression towards his serious singing skills and calm attitude, so as someone who first discovered him, who will he collaborate with? During that discussion, I raised my hand and asked for Akinari.
+Actually, during the interview, I soon thought "I wish he'll sing this kind of song..." with a vivid image! And it came to me, so I wrote this song from that idea back then.<br>
+I'm also looking forward to the day when Akinari's falsetto voice will soon be revealed.
+Congratulations, Akinari!
+=== pop'n music 20 fantasia ===
+==== Akinari ====
+To all pop'n music lovers, nice to meet you! My name is Akinari.<br>
+I've been playing pop'n since the [[AC pnm|first game]], and it soon seemed like my childhood friend.<br>
+Will I be able to participate in that game someday....
+I'm glad I continued to sing!!
+When I received the message that my application had been accepted, I was so happy that I screamed "I d<small>i</small>d <small>ii</small><big>ttt</big>!". Sorry neighbors.<br>
+On the day of the second interview, I tried to remain calm, but I was extremely nervous, that I rode a train going in the opposite direction! (It's also said that I don't have a sense of direction)<br>
+Although I was nervous when I entered the studio, I passionately expressed "I love pop'n" in the song and interview.<br>
+After I returned home, I now have good memories of having a fever when I slept, as if my tension immediately disappeared.
+When I listened and read the lyrics for "Intersection", my honest opinion was "it's youth! And bittersweet!".<br>
+I tried singing with trial and error to convey the feelings depicted in the scene, but did the listeners receive anything out of it?<br>
+When you listen to this song and think "his type didn't exist until now" and "I want to listen to him in another song", my meaning for singing suddenly increases.<br>
+I hope to receive your support and I'll work hard in the future!
+==== Seiya Murai ====
+I've already discussed the events leading up to my collaboration with Akinari in the [https://p.eagate.573.jp/game/bemani/p/channel/popn_minnade20/kekka4/02/index.html Bemani Fan Site], but this is my first song in a while with a male Vo., and I enjoyed creating it with a fresh feeling.
+For this song, I was conscious of the nostalgic new music-toned beat and melody while adding my own tastes and tones, and I loved that it resulted in a song which can't be felt anywhere else.<br>
+The key might be too high for a male Vo.? I thought about it, but this was the only possible key for this arrangement, and I also wanted to test Akinari's high range abilities, so I created it in this form.<br>
+The person himself said "I'll try to do it" and just seriously worked hard on it, and despite that, we were able to record it smoothly without difficulties.<br>
+There weren't any mechanical vocal pitch adjustments at all, I just edited the well-expressed parts from the recorded track which was sung many times, and finished it in a new music style from the early golden age.<br>
+There are some unstable parts remaining, but I think that this unstable quality is what makes it sound like a song strongly sung by someone in this very synth-like sound.
+Also, it's been a while since I wrote lyrics from a (normal) male perspective, and for some reason, I received complimentary(?) comments such as "Murai has high femininity" from Japan and overseas, so does it make me feel happy? It's an extremely indescribable and complicated feeling (laughs).<br>
+For this "girls' manga-styled" story, as I wrote in a previous lyric writing course, I depicted it using a method which maximizes the scene with limited words.<br>
+It has a male, yet feminine perspective, and I discovered that men think about love in a simple way, so even just a rough depiction can finely convey subtilties.<br>
+That's why it's somehow girls' manga-styled. Boys' manga is probably a bit more straightforward and energetic... but that's for another time (laughs).
+Come to think of it, when I reviewed the lyrics just before recording it,
+Akinari: "This '3D drawing of a navy blue and white borderline~'... what does it mean?"<br>
+Murai: ".................. It's that kind of meaning." (grins)<br>
+Akinari: "... After all, is that so~?" (grins)
+This kind of conversation is unique to fellow men~ (grins)

+==== eimy ====
+Akinari, congratulations~!<br>
+I admire his sharp, clean feeling, and gentle singing voice.<br>
+Murai carefully listened to his falsetto voice, and when I first listened to the song demo, I thought it seemed high, fast, and difficult to sing, but as expected, his singing voice was chosen from many people.<br>
+Furthermore~, his beautiful voice overlaps with Murai's song like an instrument... even though it's summer, this clean feeling doesn't make me sweat.... just as I thought!
+When I created the character animations based on the song's demo stage, I wondered if "he feels like this~" while Akinari's voice repeated in my mind, but as I made the fluffy hair and white shirt... anyways, he has a refreshing and clean feeling! I thought about this while making him.<br>
+Furthermore, the setting and lyrics seem to depict a girls' manga in Murai's original song, and the animations are filled with happiness, so perhaps it has a cleaner feeling... maybe it somehow ended up just having love elements (laughs).
+I was also happy to be able to participate in Mintsuku in some way. Once again, congratulations!
+=== pop'n music 20 fantasia ===
+Every year when summer arrives, I remember reuniting with you.
+==== eimy ====
+Did you enjoy this refreshing love song & NAOTO's fulfilling animations for it??<br>
+I never thought I'd create "animations of greeting your parents" in pop'n. I casually put a red sea bream on the table, since it's auspicious.
+It's noted that Murai's song has a girls' manga image, and the intersection, border shirt and skirt, and age gap is quite detailed, so... when I got into the mood and packed as much as I could into it, love started at a very high speed, and reached the end in one step. Oh wow!<br>
+Since everyone said that it can be depicted~ as a girls' manga, I'll ask Murai for his original story.
+== Staff Comments ==
+=== [[Ryuta Tamura|TAMA]] ===
+All the male vocalists had individuality, and I was extremely troubled.
+In such a way, Akinari was highly recommended by Murai during the first screening.<br>
+There's probably a connection from his comment "the song's image vividly came to me".
+=== [[Masaru Nakamura|masaru]] ===
+Akinari lovely sang in Murai's stable and relieving song.<br>
+Even among the male vocalists, his memorable and refreshing voice is distinct.
+=== [[Yuki Shibata|Mameshiba]] ===
+This clear feeling is nice.<br>
+It really matches this combination with Murai.
+When I saw this song genre, I thought about a person holding an entirely white rapier, but it's "phasing".<br>
+Well, what's phasing?
+=== [[Ryo Sugawara|Ga~su~]] ===
+The refreshing voice fits Seiya Murai's song well! It's healing~.
+=== [[tokky]] ===
+His singing voice is very pleasant, and I want to always listen to it.<br>
+While glancing at the animations being created behind me, huh, pop'n is finally including that kind of girl!? I couldn't hide my surprise.
+=== [[Chihiro Inoue|Chihi]] ===
+When Murai gave us an outline of the lyrics before he composed this song, all the designers said "wow~ what should we do///".<br>
+Due to their occupation, I think each of them created the animations in their mind, such as "a reunion after 10 years & blooming love...".<br>
+Even though the lyrical contents are deep, Murai and Akinari formed them together, and it's as refreshing as the morning sun shining through the trees during the Indian summer!<br>
+NAOTO is also in the center of this trendy route! That's a great~ straightforward approach!!<br>
+Even though my strange delusions were increasing from the lyrics, I'll be able to walk on this kind of refreshing road someday like NAOTO... so... I'd like to think.
+=== [[Tomoko Shiono|shio]] ===
+Akinari, congratulations~. Murai's positive synth beat lightly overlaps with a gentle and refreshing high voice. It's amazing.<br>
+I'm really jealous of everyone who has a naturally lovely voice!<br>
+And thank you for showing off your singing voice in pop'n!
+Chihi also commented this, but the designers first saw the lyrics and a scene from a one-shot girls' manga raced through our minds for a moment.... we all looked away and blushed...///<br>
+It's too bright for me.. I hid my embarrassment and could only come up with stranger ideas as I felt everyone looking away from me... I couldn't really make animations for it, so eimy created a pleasant and refreshing story.
+NAOTO is a boy who wears glasses and has a drawing case, which are often seen in Roppongi. I wonder if it's for architecture or design~. A seemingly smart man at work broke down and ran from his usual cool pace, and he became confused and blushed from love after all☆ That feels lovely. However, Murai is great with [[Sumidagawa karenka|Sumidagawa]] and girls. I'm glad everyone made it together! Welcome to pop'n ～+＋*
+=== PON ===
+The combination of Seiya Murai and Akinari is the first duo decided by Murai's selection.<br>
+From this selection, the finished song maximizes Murai and Akinari's good qualities, which is really as expected.<br>
+Akinari's gentle singing voice is a falsetto, and furthermore, he has an increasing "soft and fluffy feeling" and is charming.<br>
+It appears this duo has a "mature leeway" around here.
+While checking the game data, wac was impressed and murmured "Murai, you really write girly lyrics~".<br>
+It certainly has a similar story and background to a girls' manga, and there are many feminine aspects to it, such as the detailed image associated with the lyrics.<br>
+I think having a man sing this song in an answer song-style, further doubles its good qualities.
+=== wac ===
+My impression of Akinari during the first screening is that he's a type of male vocalist not seen in pop'n, who sings female vocal songs completely as his own.<br>
+My impression of Akinari during the second screening is that he's a fashionable man! There's an increase in glasses characters! He also has a mysterious demeanor! I think so.
+All the male vocalists who advanced in the second screening were talented and distinct, and I was really troubled, but the decisive factor in choosing Akinari is that he's a type of male vocalist not seen in pop'n after all.<br>
+You can tell that Murai consciously created this song with Akinari's voice as the most delicious part.<br>
+I don't know if this is what Murai intended to do, so this is my extremely selfish opinion, but from the moment I heard the intro synth tone and chords, I remembered the songs back when Akinari probably first liked pop'n.<br>
+I don't know why, but the morning sunrise in the office when pop'n was made back then comes to mind, right?<br>
+This is the 20th installment along with Akinari's singing voice, and at the very end, this song moved me the most.
+Akinari became someone who created and conveyed pop'n.<br>
+Personally, various things come to my mind that I want him to do and sing. I'm looking forward to his future.
