Lyrics

Japanese

夜桜舞散る
乙女心よ
恋の花
あの日あのとき気づいたかしら
私あんたにひとめぼれ
どうぞこのままあなたのものよ
恋は一途に
お江戸花吹雪

ちょいとあんたらおまちなさいよ
ここで一花咲かせます
恋は気まぐれ
お江戸花吹雪

Romaji

yozakura maichiru
otomegokoro yo
koi no hana
ano hi ano toki kidzuita kashira
atashi anta ni hitomebore
douzo kono mama anata no mono yo
koi wa ichizu ni
oedo hanafubuki

choi to antara omachinasai yo
koko de hitohana sakasemasu
koi wa kimagure
oedo hanafubuki

English

The cherry blossoms flutter down This is how a young lady feels Surrounded by the flowers of love Maybe that day was the moment I realised I’d fallen in love with you Please, stay just as you are This passionate love In an Edo cherry blossom storm Please, wait for me a little longer Here, a single flower will bloom This love is capricious In an Edo cherry blossom storm

Music Comment

Repeating folk chants. Is it a child of Edo's enka?

Song Production Information

There was apparently a discussion among pop'n fans that "enka will be included next", so we went with it (laughs).
It was my first time challenging this genre, but thanks to the singing and arrangement, it turned out quite well.
The singer, Kaori Takada, was my classmate in middle school, and also has professional experience as an enka singer. During the first day of the location test in Shinjuku, did anyone notice the she was quietly singing this song behind those playing it?

Character Information

A promising child of EDO policeman who's famous downtown. He's lovey-dovey with Okon, who's the poster girl at a teahouse. Using his jitte for duty and humanity, coins are also flying in today!

★ Birthplace: Planet OEDO ☆ Hobbies: Playing with children in a Japanese rowhouse. Or rather, they're playing with him.
● Likes: Sweet dumplings. Shaved ice. Okon's shop is the best! ○ Dislikes: Onions.
