• According to Ryu☆, rainbow rainbow could also be pronounced/read as "double rainbow". A double rainbow occurs when a second arc of a rainbow is seen outside the primary arc, and has the order of its colors reversed, red facing toward the other one, in both rainbows. This second rainbow is caused by light reflecting twice inside water droplets. [1]

Song Production Information

Ryu☆

One day, I saw a "double rainbow", a rainbow which forms on the outside layer of another rainbow. I prefer rainbows than three course meals. However, it was around this time that I went beyond feeling fascinated by the rainbow, to reaching a level of excitement, where there was a happy feeling in my heart.
"I want to convey this excitement to someone"
I thought of a melody in the bathtub, and when something came to me, I dashed to the keyboard.
I recorded the melody, and with my own momentum, arranged it, left it overnight, and evaluated it the next morning.
It went well, so I revised and completed it~.
That's how I created this song.

By the way, the song title can either be read as "rainbow rainbow" or "double rainbow".
I wonder if "double rainbow" is more "double rainbow"-ish.
But "rainbow rainbow" sounds nicer. Hmm....

It's rare to see this, so I'm happy just seeing it!
No matter how hard I try or ask others, I can't see it, so I'm happy just seeing it!
This song clearly depicts the moment where discovery turns to joy.

Surely, I can create something tiny.
But, it isn't always possible.
What day and time can I create it?

By all means, I'd like you to play this song on days where you feel like you can and want to create something.
