A place you first came to. But, you came back to it someday.

Naya~n

A desolate Norwegian forest. A perfectly clear sound plays from there.
(It's like a whisky commercial!?) I tried to create it with this image.
Please enjoy the majestic sound with an orchestra playing in the background.
So, how do you write the character for green?

Time flies by so quickly

What kind of year was 2001 for you?
Did you play KEYBOARDMANIA 3rd MIX??
That's why "Midori no kaze" is included in pop'n!!!

The request from the director when creating this song was to make it "technically easy and musically good".
He said that it was a difficult task

Simple is best
Great is great
E=mc2

It'd be great if it continues to resound in everyone's hearts throughout time.

P.S. Q-Mex beautifully played the piano in the soundtrack.

I can't get enough of its fantastic atmosphere which feels like a fusion of nature and culture, like a blockbuster anime film or a long RPG.
Even with HI-SPEEDx6.0 is a bit slow, but it's also fun.

The wind was blowing

A gentle, warm, green breeze

Time goes by and fades

We'll never forget

Challenge the limits of its slow BPM! During the bug checking time, I played it with no HI-SPEED, and I threw my hands up like this →　ヽ（◎a◎；）/
Hee hee... I've grown, haven't I?

When it comes to series form quite a long time ago, there tends to be people losing sight of reasons to crossover, but this time, there was a nice reason for its color attributes, so I'm glad that all the good old masterpieces came to pop'n!
The other day, I received an email asking "was the mustache man who you mentioned that created the notecharts Yoshi-kun?" (the mustache man refers to the right side of Ucchies), oh, I see, I need to be careful about the generation gap when commenting in the future, but I wonder what kind of impression this generation's crossovers have on such young team members. I'd be happy if you could listen to it with fresh feelings.
Visit the old and understand the new. Hmm. In a pop'n style.
When I was creating new evergreen color data for Silvia, I said "was the frame layout like this? Huh~", while learning from the past.

It's from KEYBOARDMANIA. In 3rdMIX.
I'm saying this myself, but I look back on creating this title together with naya~n, and it includes many high quality songs.
As a game, it was probably has a bit of a high threshold in comparison to other titles, or was born a generation early, and unfortunately stopped at this version, but for some reason, I overheard back then that the official soundtrack's sold over its forecasted purchase ratio (expected number of users: number of CDs shipped).
In other words, were many more players listening to the CD than usual, or they don't play games yet there's quite some listeners listening to this soundtrack CD?
And it's already been seven years since then, and the fact that they're gradually crossed over to other games like this, and that there are many people who highly support this game, is attributed to its high quality.

Haha... why am I quietly talking to myself? Huh? Huh?... something came out of my eyes

My memories of Midori no kaze? OK, let's talk about it.
Looking back seven years ago, I was involved in creating pop'n 6.
6 was the first time licensed covers were included in the pop'n series. Naya~n was in charge of the orchestration of all the included licensed covers.
Back then, he recorded the live strings of the licensed covers at the same time as Midori no kaze. This song was performed when I first saw the recording of the live strings. During the climaxing chorus, dozens of strings moved in unison. An emotional live performance of the oboe, which was my admired musical instrument back in junior high school. I remember only getting goosebumps from the beginning.
This time, I crossed over this song from the conclusion that we need a healing environment in times like this. Its difficulty level isn't that high, so by all means, please try playing it without using the HI-SPEED modifier at least once.
