Lyrics

Japanese

虹色の翼を広げて大空に羽ばたいた
悲しみを乗り越えようとするたびにあなたは勇気をくれる

言葉より大切な思いが
日常と幻想の狭間で揺れ動いている

RIZE解き放つ胸に秘めた輝きを
ただまっすぐあの青い空を目指して

虹色の翼を広げて大空に羽ばたいた
悲しみを乗り越えようとするたびにあなたは勇気をくれる

見つけ出した答えが光の渦に包まれて
動き出した思い今は力に変えて

Romaji

nijiiro no tsubasa wo hirogete oozora ni habataita
kanashimi wo norikoeyou to suru tabi ni anata wa yuuki wo kureru

kotoba yori taisetsu na omoi ga
nichijou to gensou no hazama de yureugoite iru

RIZE tokihanatsu mune ni himeta kagayaki wo
tada massugu ano aoi sora wo mezashite

nijiiro no tsubasa wo hirogete oozora ni habataita
kanashimi wo norikoeyou to suru tabi ni anata wa yuuki wo kureru

mitsukedashita kotae ga hikari no uzu ni tsutsumarete
ugokidashita omoi ima wa chikara ni kaete

Trivia

• "Nijiiro" (虹色, にじいろ) means "rainbow hue" or "rainbow-colored" in Japanese.
  • Fittingly, HIKARI NIJINO's 2P color colors her outfit in all seven colors of the rainbow.
• The two other girls seen in the WIN animations, MIRAI YUMENO and SORA HOSHINO, would later gain their own songs in pop'n music games ADVENTURE (恋のミラクル☆) and THE MOVIE (We Can Change) respectively.
• 虹色 received a brand-new video in beatmania IIDX VISUAL EMOTIONS 5. This video was added to the arcade series in beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD, and was also carried over to beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD CS.
• 虹色 being crossed over marks both Yoshitaka Nishimura's and vocalist ERi's first appearances in the DanceDanceRevolution series.
• 虹色 was one of the online exclusive songs in the American release of DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA CS. Due to the shutdown of the DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA CS servers, it's no longer available for play in that game.

  • In beatmania IIDX, its artist is shown as DJ YOSHITAKA feat. G.S.C license (with a space after "feat.").

    • On the American and European releases of DanceDanceRevolution before DanceDanceRevolution A, 虹色 is romanized as NIJIIRO.
      • In the American iTunes page of the DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2 Original Soundtrack, it has the same song title, while the artist credited was changed to G.S.C license & DJ YOSHITAKA. However, 虹色's artist was changed again to simply DJ YOSHITAKA at an unknown date.
• 虹色 received CHALLENGE charts in DanceDanceRevolution X2.
  • The CHALLENGE charts used the Chinese cover of the song.
    • As of DanceDanceRevolution A, the original version of 虹色 will be played instead.
• The Chinese version of 虹色 has never been on a CS release of any BEMANI game.
• 虹色 is unlockable in beatmania IIDX INFINITAS from October 5th, 2016, after purchasing its charts with BITs.
• In 코나미 팝픈뮤직, 虹色's title was changed to 무지개 빛 ("mujigae bich"), which means "iridescence" in Korean.
  • However, the 코나미 팝픈뮤직 official site sorted it as niziiro.
• 무지개 빛 was available on 코나미 팝픈뮤직 as downloadable content from release date.

This song is a crossover from pop'n music 13 Carnival.
It's a song from around one year ago, and somehow it feels nostalgic,,,
By the way, no one believes my "story about how this song was created" in the official pop'n website, but it's true.

It's a memorable song for me, so I might present it in a different form someday! Maybe!

Hoho! It's LOVELY TRANS POP, huh,,,,,
It's lovely trance and pop huh,,,,,
It's lovely that it's a trance and popular song huh,,,,,,,
There's love and sadness in trance and popular songs huh,,,,,,,

But this is too long now and I want to abbreviate it, alright! Let's try to abbreviate it
,,,,,,, Love trap
Yes♪ It's rare that I got it correct on my first try♪ Also, you get "love trap" if you translate it♪
So everyone, instead of "lovely trans pop", let's say "love trap".
Well, let's say "I wanna~" in an English-sounding manner.

Let me tell you the story of how this song was created.

There was a girl in a wheelchair on the roof of the hospital where I was staying.
She was staring into the distance, but there was a middle school ahead of her gaze.
Apparently, the girl was staring at the field where the baseball and track-and-field boys were practicing.
At that time, something within me began welling up inside my chest.
She was there every day.

I didn't say anything else, but I returned to the hospital with an indescribable feeling within me during that time, and began playing the keyboard which the doctor told me not to use,,,,,,.

It's a straightforward song which aims for the sky,,, so please listen to,,,,,, "Catch Me".

Let's go~!! Everyone, listen to our song, let's~ cheer up♪

eimy

When Yoshi-kun entrusted me with "something like this", I was able to create an amazing idol girl. I don't even know what my own hairstyle looks like. I didn't use a three-color brush.

Yoshi-kun was recovering from illness, but he sang really well ahahahaha! He was laughing. He's really amazing!
It's a cute and cool song. Love... trap....

Staff Comments

shio

The genre name is like five fruits on a three-layer cake. Filled with DJ Yoshi-kun's current groove.
HIKARI's 2P color somehow has a rainbow gradation through her whole body. Idols are amazing.

Chihi

I remember that when I was able to clear it, Yoshi-kun was singing along behind me, so it was very difficult to play. It feels fully packed with delicious sounds!

tama

The song isn't very compatible with Yoshi-kun's notecharts.
Ta tan. Tan tan tan tan tan, it doesn't work.

Daniel

Nijiiro no~♪ Hey!! It's groovy from the beginning, yeah!!
The nice sound of the trance feeling is also playing in the BACK.
When I recently listened to trance, it was techno! There's many things I want to get into~.
This song makes me feel happy.

Seiya Murai

I heard that he wrote this song on a hospital bed, but it sounds very positive~, right? Was he in a trance from taking painkillers?

MTO

Yoshi-kun, this is a great speedy song!
It somehow feels nice to have ○● appear over the rainbow!
Nijiiro, by the way, why's the song title called Nijiiro??
