Japanese

ナ・カ・ナ・イ・デ
本当の孤独も知らない
まだ淡い花びらに
涙の粒　抱えたまま…

ah　さわらないで
暖かなその手は
わたしのすべて狂わす

ne　許さないで
傷口押さえて
微笑んでる　あなたがいる
もう　帰れないね

堕ちてく時の　甘い香り
繰り返すたびにひどくなる

ダ・キ・シ・メ・テ
いまだけ　好きだってフリして
たった　ひとつだけなら
ぜんぶ　ぜんぶ　いらない

Bloomin'like a Rose
本当の孤独も知らない
まだ淡い花びらに
涙の粒　抱えたまま

Romaji

na-ka-na-i-de
hontou no kodoku mo shiranai
mada awai hanabira ni
namida no tsubu kakaeta mama...

ah sawaranaide
atataka na sono te wa
watashi no subete kuruwasu

ne yurusanaide
kizuguchi mo osaete
hohoende iru anata ga iru
mou kaeranai ne

ochiteku toki no amai kaori
kurikaesu tabi ni hidoku naru

da-ki-shi-me-te
ima dake suki datte furi shite
tatta hitotsu dake nara
zenbu zenbu iranai

Bloomin'like a Rose
hontou no kodoku mo shiranai
mada awai hanabira ni
namida no tsubu kakaeta mama

English

P-l-e-a-s-e d-o n-o-t c-r-y
You don't know what it really means to be alone
Like dew on pale flower petals
My tears still cling on...

Ah, don't you touch me
Those hands of yours are so warm
They make me all mixed-up inside

Hey, I won't forgive you
For trying to patch up the wound you left
That smile on your face that you're giving to me
Well, I can't go back from it now

All the times that I fell for that sweet fragrance
It grows worse each moment and it's happening again

H-o-l-d m-e i-n y-o-u-r a-r-m-s
And just this once, pretend you have love in your heart
That's the #1 thing that I wish
I don't, I don't want anything else

Bloomin' like a rose
You don't know what it really means to be alone
Like dew on pale flower petals
My tears still cling on

Song Production Information

beatmania IIDX

Seiya

This song fi~na~lly~ makes its first appearance in the IIDX series!! Hello, I'm Seiya Murai, a.k.a. Seiya of Kiyommy+Seiya.
Pink Rose first appeared in KEYBOARDMANIA 3rdMix, and has since been included in other game series, in chronological order, from pop'n → DDR → IIDX.
It has already been 5 years since this song debuted in 2000, but I'd be very happy if you still love it now.
It'd be great if I can use this song as a business card and participate in the IIDX series next time with a new song~♪

KEYBOARDMANIA

The gap between children and adults doesn't know disgrace or loneliness, like a pale rose...

Seiya Murai

Following "Mighty Guy" and "Massara", this J-pop song series greets you every time. This time, I'm serving as the main sound director of "KEYBOARDMANIA 3rd MIX", so I put my heart and soul into it with the feeling of carrying a billboard. The lyrics were written by the familiar Kiyomi Kumano. Can you believe this same person sang "Massara"? (laughs)

CS Information Data

DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME CS (North America)

"Pink Rose" by Kiyommy + Seiya is a new dance song from the land of the rising sun. Featuring melodic synths, driving rhythms and Japanese pop vocals, fans of this genre will want to order a full dozen of this rose.

Video Production Information

beatmania IIDX

HES

After 5 years, this song appeared in the IIDX series.
This video was displayed full-screen in the KEYBOARDMANIA series at 4:3, so I tuned it for the IIDX version.
Its overall development was slow, so I made it speedier by inserting footage everywhere to appear balanced.
By the way, when you miss a note, you can see a noisy damage effect on the screen.

KEYBOARDMANIA

HES

On a certain day in December 2000. The date of a certain project's deadline.
YUZ went straight to my seat and said "this is a cool song, so try and listen to it", and I replied back to him.
HES "Wow, it's hot! Isn't it very cool?"
YUZ "Yes, please take care of this song"
HES "Huh. Huh!?"
YUZ "It'd be great if you can quickly make something cool which looks like PPP"
HES "Got it. I'll try my best" And the fight continues...
So with that spirit, I helped making this movie.

When I first heard this song, the vocals weren't included yet, but an image of a certain famous robot anime sequel came to my mind.
NEW-3 said "this has the image of a real robot appearing..."
I encouraged him? I made it while fully exposing his hobby.
This movie is perhaps quite unusual in the KBM series.
The song's image is different for each person, but it's also rare for myself, NEW-3, and the other designers to start agreeing that it's "real robot-styled".
He just simply likes talking about robots...
I hope some story comes to your mind while watching this video.

I'd like to really thank the KBM team for giving me the chance to create this movie.

Character Information

None.

Staff Comments

moroEX

This song was very popular in KEYBOARD MANIA3. I can't believe it's included in DDR! This song should have its movie! I asked HES, who was "Pink Rose"'s movie creator in KEYBOARD MANIA3, to provide me the data.

I had trouble choosing one animation from its famous movie scenes. There are many highlights, so please try to look for them! The robot loving team members were also satisfied with the video.
