To all pop'n fans. It's been a while. I'm TAGstroemeria.<br>
I received a very interesting order from [[Daichi Watanabe|PON]], "when crossing it over, I'd be happy if you can summarize and write about the character in 3 lines.", so I'll summarize it in 3 lines.
Wow------<br>
Chise's so cute!!<br>
That's all.

This song actually started as a Gitadora boss song.
One day, when I was loudly playing the piano as usual, a nice phrase came to my mind, so I developed it from there.<br>
Its atmosphere is similar to Chronos, and its 7/8 time signature is a progressive style.
I created this to be completed as Chronos2, but as Gitadora fans may know, Chronos didn't have such a high difficulty level for a boss song [[AC GFDM V6|back then]]. I tried to somehow make this song more difficult for Gitadora, but it wasn't easy. Since the Gitadora V series didn't have many buttons or pads, I was able to mess around to a certain extent, but with the increased number of buttons in the XG series, I had to think quite a bit about creating charts with an authentically high difficulty level.
After much consideration, I felt that it'd be difficult to make this song more difficult, so I discarded it.
As time passed, I received an order to create a Chronos-like song for jubeat, and after thinking "can I use this song from that time here!?", I recovered the discarded data and worked with it. Since it's jubeat, I stopped using a complicated 7/8 time signature, and simply used 4/4. Also, even though it isn't a boss song, I needed to make the gameplay exciting to a degree, so I made the chorus 16-beats.
That's how I completed this song. It's currently included in many titles, and has previously been included in other companies' games, so I think it has support from a large number of players. There isn't a chance to create many songs like this in my career as a creator, so I'm very thankful.
It reached second place in TAG's No.1 song competition conducted last year.
Since there are differences in tastes between creators and listeners, even if a creator thinks "this was a successful result", listeners might not receive it very well. Conversely, there're times when a "this was just an alright result" song has a good reputation.
When I completed this song, I've felt an unprecedented reaction where they said '''"this is amazing!"'''. As everyone knows from the following reputation, this is an extremely rare case where the creators and listeners' tastes aligned.
By the way, my remade Gitadora boss song which replaced Alstroemeria would later become [[EXCELSIOR DIVE]].
This song's name originates from the birth flower of my birthday, March 25th.

I was surprised when I heard that the image was of a fashionable girl, but it was packed with TAG's deep thoughts.<br>
I'd be happy if this smile will make you slightly relieved.

The cherry blossoms are in full-bloom amidst the graduation ceremony....<br>
She's a bit lonely, but she'll say goodbye with a smile!
 
=== NATSU ===
Since Alstroemeria is a jubeat crossover, here's Chise, the girl from the jacket!
 
Hakamas are nice, aren't they~?! A furisode is lovely, but speaking of graduation ceremonies, hakamas are the best, as expected?<br>
However, I don't usually see them, so the hem's movement was somehow difficult, and I asked a male staff member who had a hakama, "please wear it and move in it", and he actually wore it and spun round and round (laughs).<br>
I struggled a lot since this was my first character animation, but it was very interesting to receive various advice from the pop'n team while creating her!!
 
When I completed her, she looked graceful, yet surprisingly tomboyish.<br>
I'd be happy if you can strongly see Chise's unexpected side, which can't just be felt from the jacket.<br>
Personally, my favorite is her jubeat jacket-styled fever win animation!
 
As an inside story, Chise's birthday is on 3/25, the same as the composer, TAG.<br>
Let's celebrate together~!!

Although it's very difficult to unlock this song, I emphasized on this song's image and purposely didn't make the notecharts extremely difficult.<br>
I preciously created them as a blessing to those who unlocked it, and with TAG's thoughts in mind.
 
I hope this will become an important song to those who play it forever.
