Lyrics

Japanese

あのひとのママに会うために
今、ひとり列車に乗ったの
たそがれせまる街並や車の流れ
横目で追い越して

あのひとはもう気づくころよ
バスルームにルージュの伝言
浮気な恋をはやくあきらめないかぎり
家には帰らない

不安な気持ちを残したまま
街はDing-Dong遠ざかってゆくわ
明日の朝ママから電話で
しかってもらうわ My Darling!
しかってもらうわ My Darling!

My little darling, my little darling
My little darling, my little darling

Romaji

ano hito no mama ni au tame ni
ima, hitori ressha ni notta no
tasogare semaru machinami ya kuruma no nagare
yokome de oi koshite

ano hito wa mou kizuku koro yo
BATHROOM ni ROUGE no dengon
uwakina koi wo hayaku akiramenai kagiri
uchi ni wa kaeranai

fuanna kimochi wo nokoshita mama
machi wa Ding-Dong toozakatte yuku wa
asu no asa mama kara denwa de
shikatte morau wa My Darling!
shikatte morau wa My Darling!

My little darling, my little darling
My little darling, my little darling

Music Comment

A nostalgic melody from the radio. A standard song dedicated to girls out on a journey!

Song Production Information

PON

What a wonderful gift from Gitadora!

As many of you know, this song was the theme song of a famous animated movie.
By the way, I love the ending song too.
Even now, when I hear any of those songs, I'm reminded of the cobblestone-like streets of Europe.
I guess that's why I like cobblestones and brickwork so much.
No, that's not it. Maybe it's because of RPGs.

The key to the charts is how much gauge is left in the last 8 bars, when the string and chorus are together.
Use your right to handle the 16th note trills on the strings, and the left hand to hit the chorus!
The timing is easy to shift, so be careful.

Hmmm.
I wonder what herring pie tastes like.

Character Information

None.

I usually design, draw and move the characters. This is my second time working on Gitadora.
This song was completely different from last time, so I was able to create it with a fresh mindset.

I've seen Kiki's Delivery Service, with this song playing, many times on DVD.
I really like the undescribable, chatty feel of it.
I have the next DVD reserved.

Maybe I should go back to the museum...

mayo

I've seen this anime many times~, it's such a nostalgic song!
I like the "bunchaka, bunchaka, bunchaka" part, it's kind of retro♪

shio

Wow that was nostalgic! I went to see it in the cinema! I love the scene when this song starts playing on the radio. It's really an amazing film that you can watch it when you are a little kid, or when you are an adult, and it's still interesting both ways. I also love the ending song. They're both masterpieces!
I'd love to be able to play more related songs in pop'n.
I believe in the magic of someday.

Ga~su~

I was thinking how familiar this movie theme was, and then I realized it was released before I was born!
The lyrics are shocking....

Mameshiba

I heard that lipstick is hard to remove, no matter how much do you spend in the bathroom, so you might not want to give too much of a message.
Is this, by any chance, her going to see her boyfriend's mother because he cheated on her?
And the fact that there is a rouge message on the bathroom... I think there is a lot of anger there...
And then she goes to her boyfriend's mother... Hee! The melody is refreshing, though.

Kinoko

Even with the same message in red, "rouge" looks fashionable, but "nosebleed" is a bit horrifying!

wac

I've been a bit depressed, but how am I doing?
When I talked about new music before, I remember saying that people are attracted to music that has the smell of the time when they were born or something like that. In fact, for some reason, I have only her albums before she changed his last name.

I don't know if it was a good choice for THE MOVIE or not, but I chose the licensed songs this time without worrying too much about movie songs.
I guess the impression of the movie was so strong that I wanted to add some warmth to the song at the end.
I was about the same age as the main character at the time.
I remember competing with my classmates to copy the wonderful background music and play it on the MSX FM sound system.
