=== beatmania IIDX ===
==== Nekomata Master ====
This chorus melody was called "shiraso sorashi shidore" and it kept spinning in my head round and round, and before I knew it, I created this song. Hmm, I'm sure when I walked around Keyakizaka to relax~.... I immediately returned in a hurry and programmed the data, which I feel was completed relatively quickly. I think that was around one year ago.<br>
As the [[CS 7th style|7th CS version]] sound director kita-g [[suggestion|previously said]], I think it's important "to feel". We interpret feelings using our own sensibilities to create new works. That expression contains empathy and all possibilities for something born from other interpretations. I've currently listened to many CDs and went to see many live performances, so I don't really know what are the roots that influenced me, but to those who somehow have empathy when listening to this song, by all means, please try to express this with some other things. It can be anything, such as pictures, words, or sounds. I'm sure it'll lead to something in the future. Just kidding~. From Nekomata Master.
 
=== pop'n music ===
==== Nekomata Master ====
Hello, I'm Nekomata Master, who's participating in the pop'n series for the first time. I've only played pop'n for half a year in the first place. As I saw [[Tatsuya Mizuno|ota2]] loudly hitting the pop'n controller behind me, and momentarily murmured to myself "what's happening here?", I unexpectedly received a song request.<br>
Using the theme of ethnic music, this resulted in a sorrowful pop feeling with various north to south tastes. Please listen, feel, and dance to it together. That's right, feeling is more important than listening. However, perhaps you might not have time to dance, but....<br>
No, it still has a high difficulty level. You won't really have time to dance. By the way, I'm not the culprit in charge of these notecharts. This song's charts were created by ota2, which brilliantly soars beyond the human reflex limit. I mean, to be honest, I can't clear them. In particular, the middle section's percussion solo is a demon. I want to scream "aaaaaaaaah". Let's scream like a screaming machine.<br>
So, don't give up and clear it~.

On a certain day, somewhere in Tokyo.<br>
"There's a meeting."<br>
"Hmm."<br>
"Here's the video for the next song in the next game (CS 9th)..."<br>
"Is it wrong?"<br>
"Well, it's just that time..."<br>
"... Is something wrong?"<br>
"...... It's nothing."<br>
"If that's the case, wonderful."<br>
"It's a telegram!"<br>
"Let's read it aloud."<br>
"Huh!... the sound comment and song image is stolen" "Stolen...?... Is this assault?"<br>
"... (It's nostalgic perhaps...)"<br>
"Hmm. Is the middle section's 'charare~ chorare~ chara~ chachacha~ chare~ teraro~ teorare~' a horseman's gallop? Then that's assault..."<br>
"... You have a point."<br>
"Maeda Toshimasu (Keijiro)!"<br>
"Hmm. A horseman's gallop blooms on the battlefield!"<br>
"In that case, I'd like elements of a castle raid."<br>
"Umm... my work time..."<br>
"Let's be motivated somehow."<br>
"!!"<br>
"It's great to overcome a quantitative disadvantage."<br>
"No, no, it's more than that..."<br>
While arguing<br>
"... Well, are there no objections about "this" content?"<br>
"No objections x2"<br>
"Yeah, no objection..."<br>
"Well, CONTEN... it's not... hmm, Be... Beyo..."<br>
"Beyond the Earth"<br>
"I decided that this video will be about 'a small castle raid, with a happy and embarrassed horseman, and a bonus'! Well, this is the end of the 46th emergency meeting in my mind!"<br>
"...... Seriously?"


== Character Information ==
== Character Information ==
Untranslated.
Birthplace: The peak of Gods<br>
Hobbies: Dancing<br>
Likes: God, love, fertile earth<br>
Dislikes: Dirty things
 
A solitary dancer who offers prayers to Gods through dance.<br>
They pray for people with love every day.
 
=== Karu ===
The moment of Yima's birth.<br>
It's still only 6cm long in my sketchbook.<br>
But, even though it's merely 6cm, it's close to the finished character.<br>
When I first heard this song, I felt the draft of "wind running across the earth". Inside me!<br>
I took a slightly different approach making this character than other characters, whom I created their silhouette with importance from the beginning.<br>
I'd like Yima to forever be a solitary dancer.<br>
No one can catch up. Continuously.
 
== Chart Production Information ==
=== ota2 ===
He's a super large typhoon, not a super large newcomer☆ "Nekomata Master" appears here.<br>
(Come to think of it, 2004 had many typhoons~)<br>
He delivered the order for this game at an amazing speed. As expected.<br>
I look forward to your continued support (fish).<br>
I think the notecharts turned out like this as much as possible.<br>
Nekomata screamed "aaaaaaaaah", but dooooooooon't scream like this.
 
== Staff Comments ==
=== [[Aoi Tagami|Ao]] ===
This song was called "waya!" among the designers. A song said to be mysterious. The shout... who's voice was it? What language was it? And what are these creatures repeatedly dancing in Karu's mind..? And I can only say that God's wrath is probably scary...
 
=== Gochou ===
This is the final character included in this game.<br>
I can't get enough of the mysterious dance that Karu somehow put all her heart into making. It'll increase.
 
=== KAN ===
I tried to express the victory dance using characters.<br>
介→す→卍→斗→出→ｄ→つ→命　ピカー<br>
Well, let's join in!
 
=== ota2 ===
This song and character perfectly fit together. I quite love them.<br>
Please pray that my BB will continue a bit more (fish).
 
=== [[Tamami Hara|tam]] ===
The head crest? Am I the only one who wants to squeeze it?<br>
But if I do such thing, God will punish me... I don't want to get shorter...
 
=== Take ===
When I heard this song's demo, I remember feeling something hot surging within me.<br>
I somehow really want to return back to my hometown.<br>
Perhaps when I return there, YIMA will probably greet me.
 
=== Ha ===
I can't help but imagine how this character looks facing the front (laughs).
 
=== [[Eiichi Kitsukawa|Tamagoyaki555(PAPEHINA)]] ===
I'm going to start stretching so I can dance like this in 10 years.

Song Production Information

beatmania IIDX

Nekomata Master

This chorus melody was called "shiraso sorashi shidore" and it kept spinning in my head round and round, and before I knew it, I created this song. Hmm, I'm sure when I walked around Keyakizaka to relax~.... I immediately returned in a hurry and programmed the data, which I feel was completed relatively quickly. I think that was around one year ago.
As the 7th CS version sound director kita-g previously said, I think it's important "to feel". We interpret feelings using our own sensibilities to create new works. That expression contains empathy and all possibilities for something born from other interpretations. I've currently listened to many CDs and went to see many live performances, so I don't really know what are the roots that influenced me, but to those who somehow have empathy when listening to this song, by all means, please try to express this with some other things. It can be anything, such as pictures, words, or sounds. I'm sure it'll lead to something in the future. Just kidding~. From Nekomata Master.

Nekomata Master

Hello, I'm Nekomata Master, who's participating in the pop'n series for the first time. I've only played pop'n for half a year in the first place. As I saw ota2 loudly hitting the pop'n controller behind me, and momentarily murmured to myself "what's happening here?", I unexpectedly received a song request.
Using the theme of ethnic music, this resulted in a sorrowful pop feeling with various north to south tastes. Please listen, feel, and dance to it together. That's right, feeling is more important than listening. However, perhaps you might not have time to dance, but....
No, it still has a high difficulty level. You won't really have time to dance. By the way, I'm not the culprit in charge of these notecharts. This song's charts were created by ota2, which brilliantly soars beyond the human reflex limit. I mean, to be honest, I can't clear them. In particular, the middle section's percussion solo is a demon. I want to scream "aaaaaaaaah". Let's scream like a screaming machine.
So, don't give up and clear it~.

Video Production Information

SYO-jy

On a certain day, somewhere in Tokyo.
"There's a meeting."
"Hmm."
"Here's the video for the next song in the next game (CS 9th)..."
"Is it wrong?"
"Well, it's just that time..."
"... Is something wrong?"
"...... It's nothing."
"If that's the case, wonderful."
"It's a telegram!"
"Let's read it aloud."
"Huh!... the sound comment and song image is stolen" "Stolen...?... Is this assault?"
"... (It's nostalgic perhaps...)"
"Hmm. Is the middle section's 'charare~ chorare~ chara~ chachacha~ chare~ teraro~ teorare~' a horseman's gallop? Then that's assault..."
"... You have a point."
"Maeda Toshimasu (Keijiro)!"
"Hmm. A horseman's gallop blooms on the battlefield!"
"In that case, I'd like elements of a castle raid."
"Umm... my work time..."
"Let's be motivated somehow."
"!!"
"It's great to overcome a quantitative disadvantage."
"No, no, it's more than that..."
While arguing
"... Well, are there no objections about "this" content?"
"No objections x2"
"Yeah, no objection..."
"Well, CONTEN... it's not... hmm, Be... Beyo..."
"Beyond the Earth"
"I decided that this video will be about 'a small castle raid, with a happy and embarrassed horseman, and a bonus'! Well, this is the end of the 46th emergency meeting in my mind!"
"...... Seriously?"

Character Information

Birthplace: The peak of Gods
Hobbies: Dancing
Likes: God, love, fertile earth
Dislikes: Dirty things

A solitary dancer who offers prayers to Gods through dance.
They pray for people with love every day.

Karu

The moment of Yima's birth.
It's still only 6cm long in my sketchbook.
But, even though it's merely 6cm, it's close to the finished character.
When I first heard this song, I felt the draft of "wind running across the earth". Inside me!
I took a slightly different approach making this character than other characters, whom I created their silhouette with importance from the beginning.
I'd like Yima to forever be a solitary dancer.
No one can catch up. Continuously.

ota2

He's a super large typhoon, not a super large newcomer☆ "Nekomata Master" appears here.
(Come to think of it, 2004 had many typhoons~)
He delivered the order for this game at an amazing speed. As expected.
I look forward to your continued support (fish).
I think the notecharts turned out like this as much as possible.
Nekomata screamed "aaaaaaaaah", but dooooooooon't scream like this.

Staff Comments

Ao

This song was called "waya!" among the designers. A song said to be mysterious. The shout... who's voice was it? What language was it? And what are these creatures repeatedly dancing in Karu's mind..? And I can only say that God's wrath is probably scary...

Gochou

This is the final character included in this game.
I can't get enough of the mysterious dance that Karu somehow put all her heart into making. It'll increase.

KAN

I tried to express the victory dance using characters.
介→す→卍→斗→出→ｄ→つ→命　ピカー
Well, let's join in!

ota2

This song and character perfectly fit together. I quite love them.
Please pray that my BB will continue a bit more (fish).

tam

The head crest? Am I the only one who wants to squeeze it?
But if I do such thing, God will punish me... I don't want to get shorter...

Take

When I heard this song's demo, I remember feeling something hot surging within me.
I somehow really want to return back to my hometown.
Perhaps when I return there, YIMA will probably greet me.

Ha

I can't help but imagine how this character looks facing the front (laughs).

Tamagoyaki555(PAPEHINA)

I'm going to start stretching so I can dance like this in 10 years.
