Lyrics

Game Size

Cracked cup and sooty pot
Sweet'n sweety coffee and tepid pie
Tickless clock show four AM
Silly TV says a pack of lies

Hungry cat and withered plant
Crumpled shirt and strained pants
Mailbox eats many junky foods
Neighbors quarrel about there border line

Don't be suffer alone I'll tell you what to do
Fly high...
I know what you're afraid about

Straighten up arms and keep on flapping like birds
Fly high...
To the place you have never ever seen before

Long Version

Cracked cup and sooty pot Sweet'n sweety coffee and tepid pie Tickless clock show four AM Silly TV says a pack of lies Hungry cat and withered plant Crumpled shirt and strained pants Mailbox eats many junky foods Neighbors quarrel about there border line Don't be suffer alone I'll tell you what to do Fly high... I know what you're afraid about Straighten up arms and keep on flapping like birds Fly high... To the place you have never ever seen before Slicker's lip and clumsy kiss Tedious song and childish game Many ants aim at candy box Gold fish is swimming around up side down Faithful dog and naughty kid Rousty bike and ragged shoes Noisy PC gives up tiny works Bookmark is keeping up the end of page Now, the time has come, don't throw away your memories Fly high... You should take courage and fly Straighten up arms and keep on flapping like birds Fly high... To the place you have never ever seen before

Song Production Information

Seiya Murai

Master Hiro adviced me "we need to include at least one Sana song here, after all", so I included a song that fits Sana's image so far. I also wrote English lyrics for this song. When Sana listened to the demo tape, she loved it, and with the addition of her own singing tone during the recording, it turned out very stylish.
It might be very difficult to listen to this song with the explosive sounds from an arcade, but when the soundtrack releases, I hope you can carefully listen to it in a quiet room.

Character Information

Birthplace: Japan
Hobbies: Guitar, singing
Likes: Her guitar, Shiro!
Dislikes: She doesn't like smokers.

RIE♥chan created another cute outfit for her. She's happy that it also perfectly matches with her favorite beret.

INUCHIYO

I decided on SANAE♥chan and RIE♥chan while discussing it with the female designers. I tried to make her have calmer colors than RIE♥chan, and her animations eventually turned out like this after worrying for several days, because her previous movements didn't really suit her. I also tried to revive her energetic pose.
