A seed which came from a different dimension. It enters a body and starts to emit light, create undulating beats from a heartbeat, then freely releases energy in various forms. I created this choreography with such image.
 
When I first listened to this song, I was flustered by the high-speed beat, but I captured "FLOWER"'s power and elegance, and gave it a shape.
 
It's a particularly pleasurable feeling when you can match each location! By all means, please experience it☆
 
== Staff Comments ==
=== jubeat ===
==== T_da ====
DJ YOSHITAKA unreasonably asked me to "draw a jacket design which contains the spirit of a single story", so I thought about the story in detail and selfishly completed it on my own. I'll leave its contents up to your imagination.<br>
I'm sincerely grateful to REFLEC BEAT designer [[Takao Yamamoto|amamon]] for giving me his sense of explosive advice.
 
=== pop'n music ===
==== [[Masaru Nakamura|masaru]] ====
Yoshi-kun says "songs with flowers in the title are hits"<br>
I see~<br>
※His tone here is a bit delusional.
 
==== [[Ryuta Tamura|TAMA]] ====
Congratulations for dominating 8 BEMANI game series, along with NADESHIKO ROCK / [[Rin to shite saku hana no gotoku]].
 
==== Mameshiba ====
PON, I was confused about what to do with the "deyu------un" part in the middle of this song.<br>
pop'n doesn't have charge notes and I couldn't draw spirals, so as a result, I created scale note patterns. It's difficult.
 
==== [[Chihiro Inoue|Chihi]] ====
Continuing from [[RASIS]], knit was also included in the FLOWER illustration!<br>
I'm happy that the black 3P color, FLOWER's jacket, and looking down animations fit well together.<br>
The flow builds up towards the climax in the song's beginning, and you'll get a nosebleed, right?<br>
It seems like Yoshi-kun, isn't this enough~! There are also brilliant highlights, and I can convey these feelings for players to enjoy.<br>
It's only a few minutes! This song's power is impressive, as expected!
 
==== [[eimy]] ====
To put it simply, you can't imagine a title like "FLOWER" for this kind of song, right~? It's cool!<br>
The jacket has a great impact, and I love knit's illustration in pop'n.
 
==== [[tokky]] ====
I wonder why my chest tightens a lot when listening to this song?
 
==== [[Tomoko Shiono|shio]] ====
You want to unconsciously make a parody of FLOWER's jacket, right? I also love it. If you want to know why there are grapes on knit's head, please play jubeat or REFLEC, and check out the large illustration.<br>
Yoshi-kun's home game series is a serious DJ-like instrumental series. You've heard them again, and it's frustrating to hear these compliments, but it's definitely cool! It's packed with delicious parts such as the beautiful piano playing the melancholic melody as its key point. As expected of the exciting captain.
 
I previously wrote this on my blog, but to those who mainly play other game series and experienced "Yoshi-kun's works in pop'n" for the first time to unlock this song, what do you think of [[Honoo no Kinnikuman|Yoshikunman]] and [[Odoru Fever Robo|Fever Robo]]? It's exciting.<br>
I just hope you'll experience brand-new attractions and become addicted to pop'n.<br>
Missile launch~!
 
==== wac ====
Every musician has created music with the theme of "flowers".<br>
I remember that before starting my current job, I composed a song exactly titled "Flower".<br>
I like all these songs continuing from Yoshi-kun's HARD RENAISSANCE series, but I personally felt that this song completed it, or took it one step further.<br>
It's my favorite song since I first heard it.
 
It's now doing well in each garden, and it seems to be individually blooming, as long as it's prosperous.<br>
Yoshi-kun is blooming.


When I listened the song for the first time, I jumped into a high-speed beat, and since it was "FLOWER", I caught its power and elegance and gave it a shape.
Using the example of "gyaon" in the middle section, now is the time to revive "Keep pop-kun"! I thought of it, but I couldn't just introduce them for this song, so it looks more like an image of flowers spinning in a large rotation than jubeat.


The feeling when you full combo this song is especially pleasant! I want you to feel it by all means☆
Let's use [https://web.archive.org/web/20160215233502/http://www.konami.jp/bemani/popn/gs/2/pm2_cha.html FLOWER] as the character! I put all my effort in this joke, but we eventually settled on black knit.<br>
Black knit looks nice. A baker's wife also said that females look beautiful in black.

Music Comment

The impressive refrain is beautiful, like a FLOWER blooming inside of chaos.

Song Production Information

beatmania IIDX

DJ YOSHITAKA

Thank you for waiting, "FLOWER" has finally blossomed and has been included in IIDX.
The ANOTHER "11" is also a good job.

I'm happy that this song was included in IIDX. The next game is DanceEvolution... maybe.

PON

Everybody, today is a nice day for comments.
Every day is colder than before, how are you feeling?
Please be careful not to catch a cold.

Well, "TRANCE CORE / FLOWER" is one of the link event unlockable songs of the pop'n music Sunny Park location test. The location test times of pop'n and REFLEC were close, so we prepared something like a celebration.
The theme of pop'n music Sunny Park is "park", and since the visual effect of the unlocking system at the location test was a flower blossoming with the number of plays, this song stood first and foremost.
Such a popular track which was crossed over to various BEMANI games, will it have a considerable impact once it's unlocked?
I'm glad I was able to add flowers to fantasia and Sunny Park alongside "TWINKLE POP / Twinkle Wonderland".

In summary, PON made this comment instead of DJ YOSHITAKA, who was busy.
I feel nervous when I give comments to someone else's music.
I feel tense and serious as I can only say ordinary things.

I love! pop'n music.

DJ YOSHITAKA

In 2011, I planted a seed.
How much time would it take, how much energy would be needed to sprout it? What would be the color of its flower? What about its shape? How many petals...
Thinking about these problems, I planted it in a land called jubeat.
This seed germinated and "FLOWER" grew to be one of the most famous songs in the BEMANI series.
Now you can play it in every arcade game of the BEMANI series.
Anyways, please appreciate the flowers that are blooming this time with various colors and shapes.
And don't be afraid to touch them.
There are many things that can be challenging, just as you don't know what kind of flower will bloom simply by looking at its seed.

Video Production Information

Motion Combat

I'm Motion Combat, who was in charge of creating this video.
I'm honored to be in charge of the super masterpiece "Flower".

I loudly listened to this song while making the video, which felt really nice★

This video was edited from a DJ YOSHITAKA live video, so you can see him DJ while playing it... it'd be great if you can feel how sound, video, and player are fully synchronized!

Character Information

None.

Choreography Information

Yuu Kimoto

A seed which came from a different dimension. It enters a body and starts to emit light, create undulating beats from a heartbeat, then freely releases energy in various forms. I created this choreography with such image.

When I first listened to this song, I was flustered by the high-speed beat, but I captured "FLOWER"'s power and elegance, and gave it a shape.

It's a particularly pleasurable feeling when you can match each location! By all means, please experience it☆

DJ YOSHITAKA unreasonably asked me to "draw a jacket design which contains the spirit of a single story", so I thought about the story in detail and selfishly completed it on my own. I'll leave its contents up to your imagination.
I'm sincerely grateful to REFLEC BEAT designer amamon for giving me his sense of explosive advice.

masaru

Yoshi-kun says "songs with flowers in the title are hits"
I see~
※His tone here is a bit delusional.

TAMA

Congratulations for dominating 8 BEMANI game series, along with NADESHIKO ROCK / Rin to shite saku hana no gotoku.

Mameshiba

PON, I was confused about what to do with the "deyu------un" part in the middle of this song.
pop'n doesn't have charge notes and I couldn't draw spirals, so as a result, I created scale note patterns. It's difficult.

Chihi

Continuing from RASIS, knit was also included in the FLOWER illustration!
I'm happy that the black 3P color, FLOWER's jacket, and looking down animations fit well together.
The flow builds up towards the climax in the song's beginning, and you'll get a nosebleed, right?
It seems like Yoshi-kun, isn't this enough~! There are also brilliant highlights, and I can convey these feelings for players to enjoy.
It's only a few minutes! This song's power is impressive, as expected!

eimy

To put it simply, you can't imagine a title like "FLOWER" for this kind of song, right~? It's cool!
The jacket has a great impact, and I love knit's illustration in pop'n.

tokky

I wonder why my chest tightens a lot when listening to this song?

shio

You want to unconsciously make a parody of FLOWER's jacket, right? I also love it. If you want to know why there are grapes on knit's head, please play jubeat or REFLEC, and check out the large illustration.
Yoshi-kun's home game series is a serious DJ-like instrumental series. You've heard them again, and it's frustrating to hear these compliments, but it's definitely cool! It's packed with delicious parts such as the beautiful piano playing the melancholic melody as its key point. As expected of the exciting captain.

I previously wrote this on my blog, but to those who mainly play other game series and experienced "Yoshi-kun's works in pop'n" for the first time to unlock this song, what do you think of Yoshikunman and Fever Robo? It's exciting.
I just hope you'll experience brand-new attractions and become addicted to pop'n.
Missile launch~!

wac

Every musician has created music with the theme of "flowers".
I remember that before starting my current job, I composed a song exactly titled "Flower".
I like all these songs continuing from Yoshi-kun's HARD RENAISSANCE series, but I personally felt that this song completed it, or took it one step further.
It's my favorite song since I first heard it.

It's now doing well in each garden, and it seems to be individually blooming, as long as it's prosperous.
Yoshi-kun is blooming.

Using the example of "gyaon" in the middle section, now is the time to revive "Keep pop-kun"! I thought of it, but I couldn't just introduce them for this song, so it looks more like an image of flowers spinning in a large rotation than jubeat.

Let's use FLOWER as the character! I put all my effort in this joke, but we eventually settled on black knit.
Black knit looks nice. A baker's wife also said that females look beautiful in black.
