Wow, that's amazing!! Amazing!! (≧▽≦)
 
I helped a bit in the previous jubeat game, so this is my second time working with KONAMI, but wow, I was excited to sing a KONAMI original song, and I couldn't believe my name appeared!!<br>
(Nanako's name fully appears on the official website's [https://web.archive.org/web/20160702221250/http://www.konami.jp/bemani/jubeat/ripples/music/list_bronze.html MUSIC LIST]!<br>
"This song can be played when you reach the grade" Bronze class)<br>
I'm honored! And moved! (>_<)
 
I'm saying this because I'm actually from the booming BEMANI generation...<br>
As I was never good at RPG, shooting, or fighting games, music games were a great solution for me.<br>
I was addicted to the arcade and also played the home versions.<br>
Of course I was also addicted to pop'n with its exclusive controller, which I definitely played when I went to the arcade.<br>
I remember [[Mazinger Z]] in pop'n (laughs).
 
I can't believe the day has come when I'm able to sing in the latest game in the BEMANI series!<br>
I'm very grateful to the lovely staff I've met, and to KONAMI, who made a bold decision to use me as a newcomer.<br>
The composer is <span style="color:red">Yoshihiko Koezuka</span>, who's completely well-known in the series!!<br>
I certainly thought it'd be credited under Koezuka's name.<br>
I wasn't prepared for it... I'm on edge.<br>
I usually perform jobs such as cover songs where my name doesn't appear, so this is the first job where my name appears to the world!<br>
To those who know Nanako through this song, nice to meet you m(_ _)m<br>
I haven't done any big activities yet (smirks)<br>
I hope you'll support me in the future.<br>
I forget that this song is too good, but I'd be happy if you can somehow give me your impressions of this song.<br>
Please write them on your blogs. I'll check them out (laughs).
 
Yes, this song is very nice after all!<br>
I personally like the middle section's strikes, which I unconsciously start dancing to! Also, the ending is BEMANI-ish! (laughs)<br>
I don't have a high-pitched voice, and I've recently only sang Western music for work, so these types of songs are rare for me, and I excitedly sang it.
 
When I previously participated in jubeat for the first time, I excitedly went to the arcade and courageously said to the college boys lining up, "excuse me, please choose this song for a bit", and asked them to let me play it (laughs).<br>
Isn't it an unlockable song this time? It seems more difficult for me to listen to it...<br>
If you ever hear me in an arcade, by all means, please help me out (laughs).
 
== Jacket Design Information ==
=== isonin ===
"A shy girl who dresses fashionably!"<br>
So, I had the image of a somewhat chic, slightly pretty girl...<br>
But still maintaining the feeling of a girl who is trying to stand up for herself...<br>
That's why I created it to show a maiden's nervous heart.
 
Actually, it's nail polish, not perfume.<br>
Doesn't applying nail polish make you somehow feel like an adult?<br>
I only applied it three times so far.
 
== Chart Production Information ==
=== Yoshihiko Koezuka ===
Hello everyone. I'm Yoshihiko Koezuka.<br>
I'm going to comment on "Queen's Paradise".<br>
I'm a complete novice in jubeat, so could I somehow have a huge role in thinking of notecharts? Hmm.<br>
I've so far roughly decided the rhythms I wanted for these charts. It was too difficult for me, I couldn't clear it...<br>
Afterwards, the reigning "queen of charts", T_da completed it after several adjustments.<br>
It apparently seemed easy, that she adjusted it in a difficult direction. How amazing is that? The users playing it are even more amazing.
 
The jacket design was done by a new designer, isonin.<br>
After greeting everyone in the company, she was immediately asked to create the jacket of this song.... how unfortunate (laughs)<br>
And I, Koezuka, am said to complain about the design details, and I was also quite picky this time.<br>
Perhaps it was irritating for isonin. But, it had a very lovely result.<br>
This is her debut work. I'm honored to experience it.
 
To both of them... even now, I'm being watched from behind as if I was told "quickly write a comment".<br>
Oh~ they're scary... I need to quickly write it... Oh, it hurts!... sorry, sorry. I'll write it immediately.<br>
Ho, they're actually very lovely women. Phew, I was able to write it....<br>
T_da, isonin, is this good?
 
=== T_da ===
OJ, thank you for your lovely comments. Why are you sorry?<br>
There's a unique difference when the person who created "Queen's Paradise" wrote its notecharts as expected!<br>
All its difficulty levels were very interesting, so by adjusting the sections which I thought were impossible from the arm's structure, I made it slightly more difficult.<br>
It's an amazing technique that the EXTREME chart's pre-chorus matches the accompaniment instead of the vocals, and it feels exceptionally great!
