This song was created for pop'n music13 Carnival.<br> | |||
I wondered what kind of comment I wrote for pop'n13, so when I looked at it in the [https://web.archive.org/web/20150507111349fw_/http://www.konami.jp/bemani/popn/music13/m_and_c/05/05_04.html official website], I somehow saw wac's comment in the very last line, "please include a movie for it when it's crossed over to IIDX.", and is that so? | |||
What, I didn't know about this at all... you could've directly told me!<br> | |||
I could've included a completely recreated movie to conclude wac's melancholic story, along with his ParaPara dance (T-T) | |||

Due to my convenient schedule, I always create songs at the very end of pop'n's final production stage.<br> | |||
Well, this time, what should I make? I was nervous about what kinds of unreasonable requests I'd receive for Carnival, and since there were enough songs with that theme, I was asked to make something completely unrelated. | |||
Yes wac, I understand. During the final production stage, there are too many songs following the theme, and conversely, they'd want songs which have nothing to do with that theme.<br> | |||
Alright~, I fully understand how wac feels. Since wac's back was so melancholic that it brought out a sad atmosphere like "even though it's in the final production stage, it isn't finished at all, and I don't have time to somehow think about your song", this time, I created melancholic Euro in dedication to wac. | |||
Firstly, I started by changing my computer's desktop background from my cute dog Rai, to wac's melancholic back.<br> | |||
I completed the intro from here.<br> | |||
Next, after drinking too much, I went near the toilet at ○○○○○○gaseki Station, where wac went "OTL", to try and get inspiration.<br> | |||
I completed the first verse from here.<br> | |||
Furthermore, I tried to synchronize this song with the image of shaking hands with the elementary school student who hit a big home run at the elementary school next to wac's rented room, and brilliantly [[Peppermint wa watashi no teki|broke the glass window]] in wac's room.<br> | |||
I completed the pre-chorus from there.<br> | |||
Finally, I intended to return to Shinjuku from Shimokitazawa, but I missed the train and tried dipping in Hakone-Yumoto's hot springs.<br> | |||
And then I completed the chorus from there. | |||
