Japanese

時間が　留まる　この場所で
果てなき　幾千の夜を超えた

光も　届かぬ　この場所で
あなたは　何を望むだろう

揺らぎだした命を　蝕む悪魔のように
呪われた歯車が　もう　廻り出していた
あふれるその希望が
くすんでしまわぬようにと
願いは天空の彼方へ

黒き螺旋が渦巻いた　この闇を抜けて
引かれ合う　運命に　今目覚める
燃えさかる茜空に　破れない約束をした
悲しみのその宿命を　受け入れると
朱と碧のランページ　今　解き放って

過去と未来を彷徨う

もう戻ることのない　時間の中で
何を思い　叫び　泣くの？

燃えさかる茜空に　破れない約束をした
悲しみのその宿命を　受け入れると
朱と碧のランページ　今　解き放って

Romaji

jikan ga todomaru kono basho de
hatenaki ikusen no yoru wo koeta

hikari mo todokanu kono basho de
anata wa nani wo nozomu darou

yuragidashita inochi wo mushibamu akuma no you ni
norowareta haguruma ga mou mawaridashiteita
afureru sono kibou ga
kusunde shimawanu you ni to
negai wa tenkuu no kanata he

kuroki rasen ga uzumaita kono yami wo nukete
hikareau unmei ni ima mezameru

Song Production Information

NU-KO

Hello poppers! Are you enjoying the world of Lapistoria? I'm NU-KO!
This time, Aka to ao no rampage has a different atmosphere than before, and it's a very good song! I'm also singing the lyrics quite seriously,

NU-KO: "Here... it's written as hikareau unmei, but is 運命 read as 'sadame'?"
PON: "Oh, no, that's 'unmei'! (laughs)"

I ended up reading a bit too deeply into something like that. (laughs)

However, the character is RETSU's grandmother. She looks younger than RETSU...! Hmm, there's a gap between them. She's a cuticle old woman! From the lyrics, the old woman seems like her life has ups and downs, but she's probably a lovely grandmother who takes care of her grandchildren. I also want to be a cute and lovely old woman like AKANE in the future. Earnestly.
I fully sang along to PON's cool sound! Please continue to support Aka to ao no rampage!

PON

"Let's make RETSU's grandmother tiny! A tiny grandmother's great! We need a grandmother like that!"
This song & character started from my own words. As expected, I'm happy that it turned out as a character with strong individuality.
Well, this is my third tag team with NU-KO, so this time, I created a serious minor key song with a sad melody from the concept of "showing a different side of NU-KO". I love how the bursting chorus and key changes raise the tension.

When opposites collide, such as red and blue, or life and death, an enormously large presence appears and consumes everything.
"Aka to ao no rampage" was named to express such unknown phenomena and worldview.
I created such a song for NU-KO and I to grow once more.

Video Production Information

None.

Character Information

RETSU's grandmother looks like a child.
Is there still a secret hidden in her inherited power...?

Chihi

Hello everyone, this is the old woman AKANE, who's rumored to be braver than her grandchildren.

The concept of "RETSU's grandmother looks like a child" was conceived by PON.
I wondered if she was always an old woman who becomes younger as time passed by, but she has always looked like a child.
I thought she was a cute child, but she's quite calm for her age.
I designed the old woman by gathering information that gradually became clearer.

When I look at RETSU in the story, he simply has a carefree impression, but after listening to this song, I thought "he's had quite some difficult experiences to reach this point...".
I just listened to it without reading the lyrics, so I'm super looking forward to the day when they're officially released in a soundtrack.
And at the very end of production, when the vocals were added, I jumped around saying "ooh~ it's NU-KO~!".
It's NU-KO! When I said this to PON, he smoothly dodged me while saying "oh, I didn't tell you?".
He's probably the type of person who doesn't really reveal the vocalists and lyrics.

Continuing from Akinari's lead, this is NU-KO's shining and dazzling new side that hasn't been seen in pop'n's vocal songs, thank you very much!!

The story about Kouen and the abilities he inherited from his grandmother has spread to my mind and probably everyone's minds as well, and it seems like some amazing things are going to happen. Will they answer together someday? I want to know!

Even in her FEVERWIN animation, the old woman's action doesn't usually change from WIN.
Related characters will appear in the future... and I have a feeling that her action will change... I'll do it, right~? I'm excited!

piyo-ko, who decorated the pop'n music card with a gentle taste, also helped me come up with the old woman's COOL action idea. Thank you very much ＾＾

Choreography Information

Dai.

Every time we had meetings to decide what songs to include, I continued to say "I want to play Rampage, I want to play it, I'll do anything", and this time, my wish came true, and it was included!
It wasn't really said there, but this time, it's a joint choreography with Yuu, who's famous for luv can save u.
Halfway through the choreography we decided "this is a pair choreography after all, right?", and it's my first choreography where 1P2P have different choreographies.
I think its difficulty level is easy to dance to (compared to usual), so please take this opportunity with this song to try and enjoy dancing with various people and become dance mates!

Yuu

In the middle of the choreography, D said "more, damn... my right eye hurts... the choreography feels like that" and "this feeling... there's no doubt... does it mean I've finally woken up... the poses feel like that". It was really troubling.
Anyways, I'm satisfied with the very stylish choreography in the "moesakaru akane sora ni yaburenai yakusoku wo shita" part.
