==== PON ====
NU-KO, congratulations on winning the award!<br>
It was very impressive among the many applicants, and I think all 3 of you have recognizable singing qualities and singing skills.<br>
Personally, I was curious about her mysterious voice, but when I carefully thought about it, I loved her singing overtones.<br>
During the second screening, there was an opportunity to demonstrate your practical skills, and I still remember how she changed her singing style to fit the assigned song.<br>
I felt charmed by those various singing styles, so this time as the producer, I chose her!
 
The completed "Renaikansoku" is a standard happy tune packed with a sparkling, exciting, and speedy feeling.<br>
NU-KO surpassed my image of it, and sang with more perfection than I imagined.<br>
I'm very satisfied that I can make a song which supports her activities in the future! By all means, I want to collaborate with her again.<br>
Truly, congratulations☆
 
=== pop'n music 20 fantasia ===
==== NU-KO ====
Nice to meet you, my name is NU-KO! This time, I'm very honored to be chosen from the pop'n music vocal audition.<br>
When I heard that I passed the final screening, I remember feeling very happy, while happily laughing and crying. I'm really happy to become a music game vocalist, which was my long-awaited dream.
 
This time, I sang "Renaikansoku", which was written and composed by PON.<br>
When I first heard the demo, I thought it was an extremely sparkling, cute, and lovely song. To express this song's cuteness, I sang with a fully energetic and tension raising voice, matching the song's image.
 
During the recording, PON and I discussed our opinions while making this song. Creating a song together is exactly Mintsuku! That's right!<br>
I first saw kaorin on the same day, and she was a very cute girl who was perfect for this song. I think girls who are straightforward and devoted to love are very lovely.
 
I tried my hardest to sing in order for everyone to completely love Renaikansoku!<br>
NU-KO's the happiest to see everyone having fun while playing pop'n!<br>
I hope you'll play it with a light☆ shining☆ SCINTILLATION☆ feeling!<br>
I want to sing various songs in the future!<br>
kaorin, I love you!!
 
==== PON ====
I aimed for a fashionable and cute anime-styled pop song.<br>
This is my strongest heart-pounding number, with NU-KO's super cute voice.<br>
The observation is fine, with a light☆ shining☆ SCINTILLATION☆ feeling.<br>
In my mind, the storyboard for the anime opening is complete!!
 
I listened to this song during production checks, and I really loved the result.<br>
Personally, the different key and atmosphere of the first verse, pre-chorus, and chorus parts are enjoyable.<br>
The first verse contains the introductory lyrics and a standard melody line.<br>
The rapidly developing pre-chorus is speedy and rhythmic, with the image of a falling comet.<br>
The chorus has a pleasant and addictive melody line placed on a standard chord progression, while being slightly refined to express a mischievous feeling of love.<br>
And for the last chorus ending with "kimi to renaikansoku", I tried to make your heart feel comfortable with kaorin's honest feelings.<br>
In addition, we considered the music game aspect of the song and packed fills and solos into it, which resulted in an enjoyable song.
 
Well, this song wouldn't exist without NU-KO singing it.<br>
Since the songs I sing are self-contained, their atmosphere and tendency don't have big changes.<br>
However, since another person sang this song, I was able to include many things I usually wouldn't do.<br>
It was very stimulating and became a memorable song for me.
 
I also love kaorin, the character in charge.<br>
The main character of that story has a fitting comedian feeling, who's the cutest.<br>
When I first saw kaorin, it was quite cute & exactly fit the song, that I was happy and laughed.<br>
Ooooooh!<br>
kaorin, I love you!!

==== Chihi ====
This song was the fastest among the 3 Vo applicants to have a demo with vocals included and completed.<br>
Anyways, it's cute and conveys a positive power which makes you feel energetic!
 
kaorin is in love at full-speed!<br>
In a way, she's a clumsy and very cute high school girl who'll tackle you with her entire body when she likes you. I tried my best to express the endless power that love gives to girls in the animations!!
 
Although the other 2 songs were completed afterwards, the 3 songs were perfectly separated into colors, and furthermore, it became an extremely magnificent lineup which brings out each taste to its limit!<br>
I was able to recognize that the amazing sound staff smoothly participated in the cloud-like event and created a song which suited her (they probably always do this), just from listening to her voice! I'm sorry that I absentmindedly didn't notice this until now.
 
I'm grateful to NU-KO for joining pop'n with her lovely singing voice!!!<br>
Please take care of kaorin and Renaikansoku in the future~♪
 
=== pop'n music 20 fantasia ===
The view in my binoculars is exciting every day, because I'm in love!<br>
My target is... you☆
 
==== Chihi ====
I love you, I got 2 of them~! I'll exchange them for you♪
 
I felt happy reading NU-KO's comment. I want to tightly hug the happily laughing and crying NU-KO, but I just watched the interview recording without directly meeting her, so I'm air hugging her in my heart.
 
Initially, the song title was different, but when it suddenly changed to "Renaikansoku", kaorin's image clearly came to my mind.<br>
It was only a demo song without lyrics until I completed the animations, but the song was nearly completed at the same time as the animations, and when I listened to it, it was really perfect!<br>
I wonder~ if PON saw the animations while they were being created.<br>
NU-KO's singing voice isn't just cute, but seems to immediately jump in with straightforward feelings!<br>
Her singing style is also vigorous, and it exactly fits well with the feeling of running through kaorin's love her way.
 
I intended to draw kaorin as a "normal girl".<br>
Falling in love with her lover's favorite song, coincidentally wearing their same uniform top, having a big excitement when writing her name underneath her boyfriend's surname (laughs).<br>
As the path that every women has taken, this is a light☆ shining☆ SCINTILLATION!!
 
With the explosive power love gives to normal girls, I'd also like boys to please try listening to this song and experiencing a girl's love!
 
I want to listen to this song live~. With the cute outfits and choreography, I'm sure it'll be up to 3.<br>
NU-KO, I love you!!
 
== Staff Comments ==
=== [[Ryuta Tamura|TAMA]] ===
NU-KO's wide variety of singing styles is impressive.<br>
Cute, strong, normal, I'm looking forward to hearing what kind of vocals she'll have [[Katate dokusho|next]].
 
Also, this old man will never forget how happy she looked while telling me that she was going the arcade after returning from the 2nd screening.
 
=== [[Masaru Nakamura|masaru]] ===
I didn't think until now that PON composed an energetic song!<br>
The combination with NU-KO is perfect!!
 
=== [[Yuki Shibata|Mameshiba]] ===
I recommend playing this song.<br>
Choose kaorin in the character select screen.<br>
Choose HAPPY LOVEGAZER in the song select screen.<br>

PON can also these kind of things.<br>
The singing voice is perfect.
 
=== [[Ryo Sugawara|Ga~su~]] ===
She has a cute singing voice~. The lovely song also perfectly fits the vocals. I understand why PON's self-congratulatory.
 
=== [[eimy]] ===
NU-KO, who seems to be able to sing any kind of song, appears in this PON song! kaorin's... animations where she's chasing her favorite guy! It really feels like they respectively show off her good qualities.<br>
So, I like interrupting with "I, I can't believe it...!" to my senior Chihi, who's drawing animations next door. I couldn't help but tease the sad LOSE animation. (cries)
 
=== [[tokky]] ===
It was cute listening to this finished song!! Gah, NU-KO's looking this way! Wow wow! It became like this. She's somewhat very idol-like!<br>
This character's direction is also impactful and very cute, and I'd like kaorin to possibly feel happy, but I'm having trouble with my conflicted feelings of kaorin looking cute when pursuing someone, but always being in unrequited love without feeling happy.
 
=== [[Tomoko Shiono|shio]] ===
NU-KO, congratulations~. This shining song and euphoric singing voice is perfect every time I listen to it, and I love it. I never get tired of it, as the melody and singing voice are always playing in my ears, so I don't mind that it's always looping. It's amazing.<br>
I'm really jealous of everyone who have a naturally lovely singing voice!<br>
And thank you for showing off your singing voice in pop'n!
 
This song wouldn't be born without this project~, and when I think about it, it feels like the fate of 2012. I'm sure kaorin would snap her fingers and say "well, you and I are destiny☆"!
 
kaorin wouldn't be born without this song after all... that's interesting~. Another great character was born in the pop'n world! Strong but cute is a new frontier. kaorin can see the world sparkling just by her lover. This masterpiece brilliantly expresses the happiness of such unrequited love. I'm glad it's created for everyone! Welcome to pop'n ~++*
 
=== Seiya Murai ===
I first listened to this song when it was completely finished, and I wondered~ if PON incorporated his experiences in it. This great song is easy to remember!<br>
I was able to talk to NU-KO during the interview, and as you can experience how she comfortably sings from her singing voice, she radiated like some type of talent aura.<br>
But, unlike those who are familiar with auditions, it feels like she's in danger(?) and interesting, like a butterfly who just appeared from a pupa before it fully sprouts wings, and I'm looking forward to how this outstanding talent's character will grow in the future.<br>
Nevertheless, it's a great song... (jealous).
 
=== wac ===
During the first screening, NU-KO sent many demos with a quite different atmosphere according to the song, and I thought her voice was processed, but it was her normal natural voice, which left an impression on me.<br>
During the second screening, I was overwhelmed by the flowing idol aura from NU-KO's usual devotion.<br>
After hearing about her IIDX skills, I bowed down to her.
 
The person himself said this, but PON can basically sing, so he never created a song for a vocalist besides himself?<br>
(The only exception is [[Manami Fujino|Fujino]]'s [[Tanken note|FRONTIER]], but he initially intended to sing that song in the [[AC pnm 19|location test]])<br>
This song was given to PON's first vocalist, and even with this, her enthusiasm packed in these elements were conveyed to me.<br>
It was unexpected that PON made such a song, and I also somehow heard him say that he'll make anything. Anyways, it's because he's the pop'n sound director.<br>
I didn't think he'll make such feminine lyrics.<br>
Renaikansoku is a great title, isn't it?<br>
The song title was initially "Renai" + katakana and English, but an authoritative senior said "I'm suffering!", and it was worth changing.
 
NU-KO may also become an ace pop'n vocalist in the future.<br>
Will she next be with PON again, or with someone else? The competition has already started, or not.
