Nanako Blog
Nanako
Wow, that's amazing!! Amazing!! （≧▽≦）
I helped a bit in the previous jubeat game, so this is my second time working with KONAMI, but wow, I was excited to sing a KONAMI original song, and I couldn't believe my name appeared!!
(Nanako's name fully appears on the official website's MUSIC LIST!
"This song can be played when you reach the grade" Bronze class)
I'm honored! And moved! (>_<)
I'm saying this because I'm actually from the booming BEMANI generation...
As I was never good at RPG, shooting, or fighting games, music games were a great solution for me.
I was addicted to the arcade and also played the home versions.
Of course I was also addicted to pop'n with its exclusive controller, which I definitely played when I went to the arcade.
I remember Mazinger Z in pop'n (laughs).
I can't believe the day has come when I'm able to sing in the latest game in the BEMANI series!
I'm very grateful to the lovely staff I've met, and to KONAMI, who made a bold decision to use me as a newcomer.
The composer is Yoshihiko Koezuka, who's completely well-known in the series!!
I certainly thought it'd be credited under Koezuka's name.
I wasn't prepared for it... I'm on edge.
I usually perform jobs such as cover songs where my name doesn't appear, so this is the first job where my name appears to the world!
To those who know Nanako through this song, nice to meet you m(_ _)m
I haven't done any big activities yet (smirks)
I hope you'll support me in the future.
I forget that this song is too good, but I'd be happy if you can somehow give me your impressions of this song.
Please write them on your blogs. I'll check them out (laughs).
Yes, this song is very nice after all!
I personally like the middle section's strikes, which I unconsciously start dancing to! Also, the ending is BEMANI-ish! (laughs)
I don't have a high-pitched voice, and I've recently only sang Western music for work, so these types of songs are rare for me, and I excitedly sang it.
When I previously participated in jubeat for the first time, I excitedly went to the arcade and courageously said to the college boys lining up, "excuse me, please choose this song for a bit", and asked them to let me play it (laughs).
Isn't it an unlockable song this time? It seems more difficult for me to listen to it...
If you ever hear me in an arcade, by all means, please help me out (laughs).
Jacket Design Information
isonin
"A shy girl who dresses fashionably!"
So, I had the image of a somewhat chic, slightly pretty girl...
But still maintaining the feeling of a girl who is trying to stand up for herself...
That's why I created it to show a maiden's nervous heart.
Actually, it's nail polish, not perfume.
Doesn't applying nail polish make you somehow feel like an adult?
I only applied it three times so far.
Chart Production Information
Yoshihiko Koezuka
Hello everyone. I'm Yoshihiko Koezuka.
I'm going to comment on "Queen's Paradise".
I'm a complete novice in jubeat, so could I somehow have a huge role in thinking of notecharts? Hmm.
I've so far roughly decided the rhythms I wanted for these charts. It was too difficult for me, I couldn't clear it...
Afterwards, the reigning "queen of charts", T_da completed it after several adjustments.
It apparently seemed easy, that she adjusted it in a difficult direction. How amazing is that? The users playing it are even more amazing.
The jacket design was done by a new designer, isonin.
After greeting everyone in the company, she was immediately asked to create the jacket of this song.... how unfortunate (laughs)
And I, Koezuka, am said to complain about the design details, and I was also quite picky this time.
Perhaps it was irritating for isonin. But, it had a very lovely result.
This is her debut work. I'm honored to experience it.
To both of them... even now, I'm being watched from behind as if I was told "quickly write a comment".
Oh~ they're scary... I need to quickly write it... Oh, it hurts!... sorry, sorry. I'll write it immediately.
Ho, they're actually very lovely women. Phew, I was able to write it....
T_da, isonin, is this good?
T_da
OJ, thank you for your lovely comments. Why are you sorry?
There's a unique difference when the person who created "Queen's Paradise" wrote its notecharts as expected!
All its difficulty levels were very interesting, so by adjusting the sections which I thought were impossible from the arm's structure, I made it slightly more difficult.
It's an amazing technique that the EXTREME chart's pre-chorus matches the accompaniment instead of the vocals, and it feels exceptionally great!
