Lyrics

Now this is a special one for the game people
As we proceed to give you what you've been waiting for
We present you the one and only, pop'n music!

I remember in the days when I was a little child
I used to the play the game with my home boy shy
It was I, the ruler, Matt, the driller
I'll stir up quick if you try to test me
Hey shy women, less about the cream
When you run the place just like an oldie

Yo, I hit you with the drama
From here to artina game
Just pump up the volume

From the east to the west we played the game show
No matter what the deal I get my good time blow
Maximum overload, people on the floor
We bring it to you live
Get the jigga on the floor!

From the east to the west we played the game show
No matter what the deal I get my good time blow
Maximum overload, people on the floor
We bring it to you live
Get the jigga on the floor!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's how we do it!
Uh, yeah, c'mon, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh (Get the jigga on the floor!)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's how we do it!
Put your hands up, put your hands up!
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon (Get the jigga on the floor!)
Put your hands up, put your hands up!
Uh, uh, uh, uh

Song Production Information

pop'n music 1&2 Official Website

I aimed to create an enjoyable song which makes you feel the bright hopes and dreams of a child.
Although it isn't as core as beatmania songs, it's a dance song performed with an enjoyable rap and trumpet melodies.
pop'n music's enjoyable characters and atmosphere immediately overflowed through my mind.
UNCLE Jam, who's famous and stands out in the beatmania series, also appears here.

pop'n music original soundtrack

I created this song during the same weekday as I really want to hurt you, while having the atmosphere of American children's programs, such as Sesame Street, in mind. Actually, I was trying to make a hip hop song, but I ended up making a lot of beatmania-styled songs, so I created this fun rap song based on that and my desire to try something different. By incorporating many catchy melodies, players will accept UNCLE Jam's rap.

Character Information

Is UNCLE Jam now a national idol?
Did you know he's actually from Japan (the outskirts of Koganei)?!
Furthermore, his parents' house is a curry shop!
This time, he's challenging rap while doing a mysterious dance (laughs)!
☆ Birthplace: Japan
☆ Hobbies: Young girls... what did you say?!
