Lyrics

Japanese

しどけない夏　ココロうらはら
チャイムまやかし　からからと鳴る
あぶく弾けて　ホコウゆらゆら
あたしあやかし　ベロ出し哂う
ほうら

風向きは笛任せ
放課後も暴風模様
背伸びした言葉　陽炎
洒落くさい　言いっこなしよ

情操妄想ディストピア　給食残しのカルマ
デカダン気取っちゃって　校内放送　滅びを謡う

健全交際パーティシペイション　東京までは何マイル？
待ち合わせ古戦場
うしろの正面だあれ？

急転直下　花一匁　ちゃんちゃらおかしい反抗期
へし折るフラグの果て
きつね　きつね　なにみてはねる？

ぎりぎり第四次成長　ばいばい　あたしの義務教育
まちぼうけ果たし状
ゆびきりげんまん　ゆびきった！

English

My heart doesn’t quite fit in with this dishevelled summer Something that’s supposed to sound like a bell rings out Bubbles burst as I drift through classes I’m just a ghost, sticking my tongue out and laughing Look out! The sound of a whistle floats on the wind It’ll probably still be storming after school It’s exerting to say anything, it’s getting too hot Don’t even start to joke like that! An illusion of rationality in this dystopia, bad karma for leaving behind your school lunch Singing over the school broadcast, I tear down these facades of fulfilment If we all participate in proper friendships, how long until we reach Tokyo? A meeting is held over a battlefield Who will fall to the back? Playing a quick round of hana-ichi-monme, I’m in this pointless rebellious phase The flag of destruction is finally lowered A fox! A fox! Where is it trying to run? It’s almost time to graduate, I’ll be happy to leave behind my education I was waiting for something to finally challenge me Don’t break your pinky promise!

It's taken a very long time, but I can finally reveal it.
Once again, thank you to the many applicants who participated in the Minna de tsukutte 20 vocalist contest.
I was so surprised, yet so happy to receive applications until the final day, that I cried.
PON, Murai, and everyone worked together to make the selection, and during the second screening, everyone was quite great and charming, with really minor differences.
But now, when I listened to the 3 songs written for each of them, I realize we didn't make mistakes in choosing them.

Well, from mami we only received one song, which was a simple acapella track without being combined with an orchestra.
During the second screening, she sang that song in 1 take.
But, that was enough for her, right?

I hope you'll understand how good mami is by actually listening to this song.
During the second screening, there was a gap between her mature expression, as if she knew everything in this world, and an innocent character which suited her age, that we all said "huh".
The master thought saying "yes" was a very great response.

I wonder what kinds of songs this girl will sing in the future. I'm really looking forward to it.

To those who applied but were unfortunately not selected, and to those who waited to play without applying, please support the 3 new vocalists who joined pop'n!

mami

Nice to meet you, I'm mami.
At this time, the song I sang will be included in pop'n, so......!
Among the public contestants, I had the shortest history with pop'n, and I felt unusually out-of-place. It's difficult. I'm very nervous about whether everyone will like it from now....
Anyways, this song is energetic! It's strong! I sang this motto while feeling nervous and my legs were trembling.
Although it was quick, difficult, and I thought my throat was going to tear, various things went well, and it resulted in a very cool song. KYO☆KU☆HA! It's cool!
In the opening, I'm shouting(?) "chuusan" and "koutei", but they weren't included in the early version.... after I finished recording the song, I was fully confused by the sudden "shouts". I also shouted "naishin!" with a half smile.
I sang and blew away various obligations such as having no free time and exams! I enjoyed it!
Isn't it great if everyone plays and blows away their various obligations?!
Boing boing!

wac

What's boing boing?

My impression of mami during the first screening was that her application comment was too gracious, and she had a clear voice with a unique singing style.
My impression of mami during the second screening was that she's a child. A child. I was surprised that a child really came here.
She was dazed and shy like a baby fox who was suddenly brought to the studio.
When I often think about it, she's almost about a year apart from pop'n.
I'm around the age where I could probably have a child around her age if my life somehow ended up differently. It's difficult. And dazzling.

mami's best highlight is her fresh voice.
And she expressed that voice using her own style.
Perhaps that's a stretch, but it's also nicer to stretch.
She was very interesting as a vocalist, including an innocent swaying unique to those around her age.
Before the applications started, I imagined many things like "it'd be interesting if this kind of vocalist came", and that one example came.
Her preferences in bands and interests were somehow quite similar to mine, so when I decided to select her, I only wanted to create this child's song.

"Jousou dystopia" considers current middle school situations as conveyed by mami, and as expected from my age, I made this song with the perspective that middle school students look like specters.
But when I often think about this, it matched my mental age, which I had a normal middle school mind when I wrote these lyrics, and we eventually formed a combination with a real middle school girl and an old man with a middle school student's mental age.
This song is dedicated to all middle school students, and I made it easy to understand with the thought that everyone can hum along with it, so I hope mami's classmates like it.
Though, the real middle school lifestyle is very valued, well, when I thought it was time to record it, I was busy with club activities, cram school, cultural festivals, and even holidays.
Middle school students are busy in a different way to adults.
Furthermore, how many miles was it to Tokyo from her hometown? Oh, well, I'll go from here.
In the end, it's quite difficult to just think about the composition, lyrics, and title, but this was the most difficult slot until I was able to record it.

Also, while I said I wanted this song to be easier to understand than usual and something everyone can hum along with, the finished result has no short break, a complicated melody, very fast to sing in the first place, and is more difficult than usual if you're unskilled at it.
Even PON, who sung the early version, said it was difficult.
As expected, I went to record it while thinking that a middle school student wouldn't be able to sing this song very well, but this girl somehow nonchalantly sang it.
Actually, she sang it so nonchalantly that I didn't notice she was nervous at all.
Furthermore, try to sing it in this style! When I requested this, she easily expressed it.
From the moment I listened to the "karakara to naru" part, it immediately surpassed my expectations, and I was confident that this project was a success.
After all, this child was an Ayakashi.
Also, I had her shout "naishin", but it wasn't used as expected. I'm sorry.

And I said this in the KAC Ust, but even though I made this song together with mami, it's also for everyone who applied this time.
I definitely can't create a half-hearted song.
I created a song that everyone who unfortunately weren't selected will think "that's what I wanted to sing!".
Of course, I put effort into every song, but this song unexpectedly pressured me more than usual.
If it becomes a good song, I don't need to worry about making it myself, so I was able to use PON's early version as the chorus, which is rare for me, and I had two people separately perform the guitar.
For the main guitar, I wanted a solid texture and sharpness, so I asked 96.
For the solo, I wanted having a strange Ayakashi feeling, so I asked Asaki, who is currently making an impossible album.
The schedule was tight, but I think I created this song without compromises.

mami is also taking entrance exams, so even though I think she'll be able to sing by next year at the earliest, I'm looking forward to seeing what kinds of songs she'll sing in the future.

Anata mo★ pop'n vocalist! Official Website

shio

mami, congratulations!
Even though it's a difficult song, mami sang it at full force, and despite being young, she coolly and magnificently sang it!
When I first listened to the vocal version, it's not a metaphor that I suddenly got goosebumps. I hope everyone listens to it soon~.

The character is a fox-masked middle school student girl, as requested by wac. Fox masks are cool right?
Although the specter illustration appears strong and scary at a glance, I aimed for cute animations with emphasis on sharpness. Girls at this period are somewhat complicated. Perhaps.
I'll be happy if you enjoy hopping together with the singing voice.

pop'n music 20 fantasia

I passed by a fox girl in the school hallway. When I turned around, she was already gone.
That child is an after school Ayakashi girl.

shio

Huh? Before I knew it, I was lost in a different world than the other 2 songs filled with love. It's brutal!

For this design, I received a clear image of a middle school fox girl from wac, so I progressed smoothly.
However, after that, there was a situation where I created the animations in conjunction with the critically acclaimed lyrics, so its image wasn't very solidified and was rather fluffy, when I heard the version with mami's lyrics included in it, its worldview immediately came to my mind, and I became settled and moved. Her singing is amazing!

When people sing, they slightly breathe, sigh, and begin singing.
I once again found out that the world somehow~ includes all of them. Thank you for your lovely voice!
This masterpiece brings out mami's full individuality.
I'm glad everyone made it together! Welcome to pop'n ～+＋*

So, it feels like there's a child that everyone vaguely remembers, like in a school incinerator or after school arts room, but I can't remember... it was a clear Ayakashi girl. Is it a 1000 year old celestial fox (天狐), or 15 year old Tenko (点子)? Those vague things also fully disappeared and taunted me.
It tickled the mid-2nd grade minds!

And we received a comment from mami a few days ago, and I was surprised that her favorite character was KENJI (thanks!), but I didn't notice he had those eyes until she told me. It's unconsciously mysterious. This is probably the fox's mischief. Boing boing!

Staff Comments

TAMA

mami is the youngest of the 3 vocalists.

In the story I heard from her interview, she doesn't have a career.....
But her singing voice, natural character, and fearless personality left a very strong impact.

The master is also looking forward to the outstanding talent's future.

masaru

As expected from a wac-styled song. This fully pitched swing is really nice.
mami's innocent singing voice is hard to imagine. It's must-listen!!

Mameshiba

There's an amazing gap between mami and her singing voice.
For example, it's like a Shiba Inu puppy fighting and winning against a Tosa Inu. That's wrong.

This song always plays in my mind.
And I can't clear it.

Ga~su~

She has a cool voice despite her appearance, so I'm surprised!
I'm impressed that wac couldn't decide on a song title.

tokky

It's cool! I was even more surprised when I heard that she's the youngest winner vocalist.
Also, there's an impression that wac is always obsessed with lyrics.

eimy

This song received big praise from senior Chihi. I'm also looking forward to the completed song after listening to mami's recorded version and how amazing it was.
Anyways, it has a cool impression! I was overwhelmed by the flowing sense and power. When everyone listened to it once, they listened carefully and quietly.

Chihi

From the moment I first listened... I fell in love with it///
Even though her voice has a young feeling, the way she sings!!! Even though this kind of song is short, there are key points in various places ,guo~ ＞o＜!! And I wanted to howl.
The lyrics are very good, and PON and I talked about how only wac can write these lyrics! School lunch leftovers... such words don't appear when you become an adult! I mean.
wac, who hasn't grown up totally (how rude!) and mami, who's young but strangely mature, perfectly mesh with their differences, and form a smooth circle... this interesting feeling doesn't make sense! He found a really great child (*^人^*） I'm pleased with myself.
PON's chorus heard in the background is also nice, and the throwing feeling (how rude!) is perfect for this song! I wonder if you can hear it in the game cabinet~
Even though I wasn't in charge of the animations, I can't stop writing what I want~! Afterwards, I'll murmur at home. Since I don't have Twitter, I'll softly whisper and murmur.

Seiya Murai

wac's slot is in full force! This song is like that. But as mentioned above, he formed a pair with mami, who just applied for the audition with an acapella of "MEGANE ROCK", and since he said "I like this kind of song", I didn't think this combination would fit like this.
This song somewhat has an impact that perhaps it could be summarized as 90% wac and 10% vocals, but I didn't really think mami is a middle school student, so she made it her own song, right? She fits well at such a young age....
When I met her during the interview, I thought "huh? Is she the same person singing?", she's a cheerful girl who appears to be the center of the class in any school, and when she sings such songs, I can't feel any sad atmosphere at all.
I still don't know what kind of adult she'll become in the future, and she doesn't need to decide yet, but she had a very cute feeling(?) like while wearing her pure white T-shirt.
Nevertheless, this is a difficult song... (I'm jealous).

PON

The wac and mami pair was quite unpredictable.
The tag between "the masked composer of the BEMANI world" and "the bouncing diva of the middle school student world" just gives it a fully unusual feeling.
However, I think this unpredictability makes this song interesting.
There were many difficulties during the production, but since I was part of this group, the sense of achievement when we completed it was tremendous!
Yes, like me!

Come to think of it, there's an earlier version of this song where I sang in it.
Was this the first time I sang in a wac early version song? It was, but it was a difficult song after all.
The song is fast and the notecharts are detailed, and furthermore, there are too many semitone movements that it's difficult to match the pitch.
You can sing it if you persevere and get used to the key points, but you need to pay attention to this melody from beginning to end.
mami sang this song 2~3 times, so she has true abilities after all.
