A heavily anime song... I created this song in response to the development team's request.<br>
Since the designer MZD and lyricist RYO got carried away creating detailed character settings and worldview, I quickly made this song.<br>
The lyrics are completed up to the second verse, so I'd like to release them in a CD if there's a chance.
 
=== pop'n music original soundtrack ===
This is the story behind this song. Although we didn't plan to make this song during the beginning of development, ANIME HERO was continuously brought up.. from the development team's strong request, I reluctantly started making it. When I initially presented it, I intended to say "you see, it doesn't work, right?", but despite my prediction, it ended up being well received. Songs are mysterious, and start to walk alone once they're completed. When the lyrics, song, and animations were completed, this song ended up endlessly looping in my mind. A freelance arranger and my friend, Koga, was in charge of the arrangement and game data, RYO was in charge of the lyrics and character in pop'n music 2, and pop'n music's main programmer, NARAMCHA, was in charge of vocals.
