No matter how many times I try, I'm having trouble with the same speed changes. When it starts moving, it won't stop.

U1's body fat seems like that of an athlete. That's amazing~

I think I've heard this song the most during checks. No matter how tired I was after checking for many hours, no matter how many times I listened to this song, I never get tired of it.

I never thought I'd work on the same job in this way. U1 is one of my very close colleagues since he joined the company back then.<br>
When I was involved in the pop'n series, there was a period when the division changed and I hadn't seen him in a long time, but as they recently merged, we soon sat near each other once again.<br>
Looking back, I first encountered pop'n when he was testing the first home version of pop'n and playing it at his desk, I asked him "what's that?", and he let me play it.<br>
At that time, I felt like I said "Wow~! I don't feel like I could press nine buttons!!", but could you imagine how something like this happened to me afterwards? (laughs)

My memories of Flow? OK, let's talk about it.<br>
Looking back, I was involved in creating pop'n 15 one year ago.<br>
I soon started to decide which songs to crossover, and I reserved a spot for DDR, thinking that it'd be a song from SuperNOVA.<br>
I then started to decide songs related to the four elements, and I reserved one final song for wind.<br>
I've personally been a secret fan of U1's songs and remixes from the beginning, and I wanted to include U1's song in this DDR spot.<br>
In other words, at that time, in that timing, "Flow" fulfilled all these conditions.<br>
Although things in the world generally occur in a big flow, it's said that the process of including this song in pop'n, exactly aligned with this Flow.
