Hello~! My name is Seiya Murai, and I composed and arranged "Mighty Guy". If I remember correctly, I was asked to make a "dance-like song", so did I fulfill that request? Initially, such image seemed more flashy like ParaPara, but before I knew it, it became "M@X"-like... that's why its genre is "Maximum" (laughs). As someone who aims to emphasize melody as my core~, I somehow included a "sorrowful" melody and chord progression. But, I hope everyone will surely enjoy these catchy phrases!<br>
These lyrics were written by the lyricist "Kiyomi Kumano", who I've always been good friends with. We've worked together for various KONAMI tasks, and she's a reliable woman (laughs). Recently, she helped me with [[AC pnm 4|pop'n music 4]]. She definitely appears in it as well! Check it!<br>
And for the vocals, I have a feeling that "CHIHOMI" will rapidly grow as a talented vocalist in the future. She usually doesn't sing these kinds of high-pitched, up-tempo songs, but more chic R&B songs instead. This time, when she happened to be asked to sing this song, she cheerfully laughed and said "I've never really sung something like this before", but I tipped my hat to her hidden talent, who ended up getting it right in a short time during the recording! If you play it in the game, you'd definitely get her powerful singing voice.<br>
Even if she becomes a big artist, don't forget that she sang "Mighty Guy"~! (^_^)/~

==== Seiya Murai ====
From the [https://web.archive.org/web/20060504213152/http://www.konami.jp/am/keyboard/index.html first KEYBOARDMANIA], this song is finally here in response to your requests!
 
... Well, it's simply~ nostalgic.<br>
This song was from the early days when I was involved in production for the BEMANI series (it still wasn't so interconnected at that time).<br>
The production progressed around the same time as pop'n 4, and I think this song was born as twins after [[Toumeina manicure]] was completed (if I vaguely remember).<br>
Even before we started taking requests for this game, many wishes came to cross over this song, and it's finally happening.
 
But for some reason, I wondered~ if I'd keep this song from being crossed over.<br>
As a result of crossing over more of my other vocal songs without deeply thinking, there are fewer songs that are "unique to KEYBOARDMANIA".<br>
There are some songs from the short-lived 2ndMIX that are unfortunately less known (/_;), but to those who currently like KEYBOARDMANIA after all, I wonder if we should leave that "unique" aspect forever.
 
However, as the months and years have passed, KEYBOARDMANIA cabinets are unfortunately rarely seen with regular maintenance.<br>
Nevertheless, crossover requests have also increased. It's the last fort of crossover requests, but I'll tease you until the very end...<br>
But, I wonder if I should release it with the appropriate timing before there's no one who remembers it.
 
Initially, I wasn't very enthusiastic about this request.<br>
The sound production method is completely different to pop'n, so it can't simply be crossed over. I nearly recreated this song.<br>
While reviewing the old production data that I preserved from several years ago, I decided "well, let's recreate everything".
 
After all, my production skills have improved throughout these past few years. There were some parts that weren't as great as they were back then, but I recreated everything.<br>
If it's OK to go this far, I wonder if it's OK to make it... so based on the full chorus version created for the soundtrack, I re-recorded almost all the musical instruments, except for just the vocal track. I also added a few new phrases as a bonus.
 
Also, songs were made within a one minute and thirty seconds duration back then, but there's an impression that they're a bit short now, as expected.<br>
Since I'm going through the trouble of recreating it, I'll let the poppers suffer as much as possible until the very end! And to those who said that they "wanted to play that phrase in the game", I added a chaotic lead synth interlude at the end (laughs).
 
That's why "MIGHTY GUY" was brilliantly and wickedly reborn.<br>
I'd be happy if those from the generation who didn't know KEYBOARDMANIA, knew that this song was created around eight years ago....

Initially, I was planning to create a cliché robot anime opening-like movie, but before I knew it, it turned out like this (laughs). I remember making it while thinking about how to show~ the song's image through the movement of colors and videos, without making people think that it's just silly and superficial.

She's known for her powerful and sharp dancing.<br>
Along with that masterpiece and a backup dancer, she raced to the party!
 
=== shio ===
KEYBOARDMANIA means MIGHTY GUY! It's one of the songs that I immediately think of, but there was a reason why this child didn't really come out to play. I'm still attached to it! I'm surprised.
 
Well, the whole team groovily said "Mighty Guy-ko! Guy-ko!", and I also liked her, but I didn't have enough energy to start fully writing "Guy-ko", and when I listened to the song, I wanted to include a mighty girl again, so I chose AYA among the manly girls in the pop'n world. She's perfect, right? The white clothes especially suits her light brown skin.
 
By the way, it's natural to call her Mighty Guy-ko, and when you hover your cursor over the song introduction page image... cheers to [[Hideko Shigeta|shige]]'s sense.

This song's easy to learn and groove to, so isn't it perfect for a party? The image of Mighty Guy-ko is very strong, but the song also has a big impact!
 
=== [[Chihiro Inoue|chihiro]] ===
When I looked into Guy-ko's eyes, it somehow felt like my soul was consumed.<br>
Why is she so expressionless,,, I want to know what kind of dream Guy-ko's trying to make come true.
 
=== [[Shinichiro Yamanaka|Daniel]] ===
We decided that [[Ryuta Tamura|TAMA]] is the pop'n team's Mighty Guy♪
 
=== [[Shinjiro Otsu|Otsu]] ===
but she hates it when I call her Mighty-san.

Mighty Guy♪
This song's easy to learn and groove to, so isn't it perfect for a party? The image of Mighty Guy-ko is very strong, but the song also has a big impact!

When I looked into Guy-ko's eyes, it somehow felt like my soul was consumed.
Why is she so expressionless,,, I want to know what kind of dream Guy-ko's trying to make come true.

We decided that TAMA is the pop'n team's Mighty Guy♪

but she hates it when I call her Mighty-san.
