Japanese

明るく　夜空照らす月
傍ら　寄り添う星々

溢れ出す　胸の奥　見上げて思い出す
ボクはまだ　終われない
そう　強く赤い　華を咲かそう

キラリキラリ　星が光る夜　歩み出した
振り返らず　立ち止まらないで　夜空を駆ける
もっともっと　心躍る夢　求めるまで
熱い想いはまだ絶えない　ボクの Little Star

キラリキラリ　瞬く思いは　走り続け
振り返らず　立ち止まらないで　この手を伸ばす
ずっとずっと　前を見据えてる　その瞳で
熱い気持ちはもう消えない　ボクの Little Star

Song Production Information

REDALiCE

This is my second appearance! I'm REDALiCE from HARDCORE TANO*C!!
I asked Ayumi Nomiya, who always sings in my songs, to be the vocalist.

When we discussed what kind of direction to make this song in, we came up with the idea of "Japanesque", and as someone who loves Japanese melodies, I naturally incorporated that idea!

This song's structure follows the flow from my previous song "Express Emotion", and I simply added Japanese elements in my own style.
Although my previous song was fully speedy, since this song is Japanesque, there's a gently drifting melancholy.
But, it's still speedy. Anyways, it's speedy.
Also, I was in charge of the lyrics! Well, writing lyrics was difficult.
I don't really write lyrics oftenly, and I went through very trial and error, but I think I was able to get the right atmosphere as a result?

I'm really honored to participate in the milestone of a numbering title that turns 20!
I'll try my best in the future, so please support me!!!!
My passionate feelings still won't disappear!

Ayumi Nomiya

I'm Ayumi Nomiya, and this time, I was in charge of "Little Star"'s vocals.
I still can't believe that a song I sang in is playable in a game, and I'm very happy and honored.

It was very difficult to somewhat convey lyrical phrases in such a short time of about two minutes, but please feel free to try and make various images from them

Video Production Information

Dash dash dash.

I think REDALiCE's sense of rhythm and balance is wonderful.

Nomiya's beautiful vocals are also great to carefully listen to.
The Japanesque sound melodies in the interlude are also great to carefully listen to.

It's pleasant to endlessly listen to and play many times.
That's an important key point for me.

It's one of my favorite songs in this game.

Ameto still keeps running earnestly.
Hihumi left the donut set in the aisle and immediately ran away.

It's the season of dancing cherry blossoms.

The young girl, who's still dressed in a rabbit costume, eats a white dumpling zenzai outside a tea shop.
"It's already spring..."

The season of dancing cherry blossoms continues.

Dodo...
Dodododo...
Zudododododo...

A maid wearing red rabbit ears, approaches with a donut in her mouth.
"Fuookaaaaaaakuuuu!!!"

She placed a white dumpling zenzai on a desk and starts running with a straight face.

They both still kept running earnestly.

Seiichi Itagaki (IMAGICA)

It's been a while. Or, nice to meet you, I'm Seiichi Itagaki, formerly known as Steins.
Continuing from the previous game Lincle, I was in charge of creating two generic movies.

They have a cyber, fresh pop feeling! While saying this, I made them while remembering the feeling of "beatmaniaIIDX" that I felt a long time ago.

Nevertheless, this is the 20th installment of beatmaniaIIDX! That's wonderful!
Actually, will there be a 21st... or 22nd installment...? Well, changing the topic, as someone who grew up and learned about music and videos with beatmania, I'm really honored to be able to continue working on this game so far.

Choreography Information

Dai.

Continuing from Beanball, this is surprisingly my second high-speed choreography.
I originally loved Little Star as a song itself, so I tried to fill it with fun choreography.
I think it's certainly number one in how fun it is to dance.
Please cutely pose in the "ki-ra-ri" part!
