=== jun ===
From DDR to DanceEvolution, the kimono princess has finally landed in pop'n♥<br>
Being able to play this song in various ways makes me feel really happy.
 
For KIMONO♥PRINCESS, I aimed to make a pop and cute melody, which is easy to play despite the fast BPM.<br>
I would be happy if you play this song for a long time, sometimes dancing to it, and hitting buttons other times.

I missed seeing jun and [[Jun Wakita|wac]] arguing about charts in front of the arcade cabinet.<br>
I thought they were arguing about the chart layout, but before I knew it, they discussed the difficulty of using Twitter.<br>
So that's when I realized.
...No...<br>
...Wait...<br>
...This is...
... Isn't this the legendary "double jun×jun"!!<br>
(Yes, the double jun×jun theme song is played here)<br>
Being surrounded by the double jun×jun conversations caused me to slowly become a jun too.
Only EX has the soflan gimmick, but it's not an exaggeration to say that jun's aggressive part was like that.<br>
But rather, jun's kindness is not shown throughout the entire chart.<br>
It's amazing, jun!

To those of you who liked this song!<br>
By all means, please dance to it in DanEvo!
=== [[Tomoko Shiono|shio]] ===
The DanEvo choreography for KIMONO♥PRINCESS has too much of a strong impact, so the dance appears in my mind even if I'm playing pop'n.<br>
Join both hands together, and bow left and right. I heard a strange story that Japanese people use one hand to chop through a crowd, but this song is also like a cross-cultural exchange.
You can see the choreography in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyNLj765qCY the official movie here]. Remember it and make your [https://web.archive.org/web/20181214115733/https://p.eagate.573.jp/game/danceevolution/ac/p/index.html DanEvo ARCADE] debut!
=== [[Chihiro Inoue|Chihi]] ===
Is this Princess KIKYO?~ She's a high-class kimono princess, isn't she! Oh, boots.<br>
I was surprised at the opening BPM and skeleton, that I "quickly!" fell~.<br>
But I was alright because I had a full stomach.<br>
Wasn't she the person who liked skeletons...?<br>
It's OK to be full, but I want to take better care of myself.
=== Ga~su~ ===
Even if I know it's coming, the low speed in the middle section defeats me..
=== wac ===
For me, The World stops can be placed in DDR charts.<br>
Time stops flowing in these type of songs.<br>
After that, the consistency somehow fits together.<br>
I still don't understand that logic, but it's reproduced in pop'n like this.<br>
I have to calculate the number of bars and beats using advanced math skills, which my brain hasn't used in a while, and I almost burn out from overheating, but it's not bad to occasionally exercise it.<br>
This was the most difficult math I've ever done.
=== Mameshiba ===
I shouted "Whoa!" with all my might.<br>
I heard the song a lot beforehand, so I thought I knew it...<br>
And before the hook... Will that day come when I can see it...<br>
I like its high-tension feeling.
The unlock quest, "Kimono Princess", appears after clearing the "This Shining Fashion Season", "Welcome Fantasy", and "Oriental Rapids" quests.<br>
"This Shining Fashion Season" is a green quest. Even if it's a shining object, it's not a mackerel or sardine.<br>
"Oriental Rapids" is a red quest, with the [https://web.archive.org/web/20180912170636/http://www.konami.jp/bemani/popn/music20/mc/14/14_03.html unlock conditions stated here].
