Far away, look up the sky
Perfect blue, it's a beautiful place
When you smile, smiling for me
Lalala happy day
Lalala happy time
Stop! Please! Forever...

Song Production Information

Three Berry Icecream

Hello, I'm Ikemizu from "Three Berry Icecream"! "PICNIC" is an energetic song that feels like songs performed by my previous band "BRIDGE", and it was created by Shunsuke Kida, a genius composer who supports me as a BASS player during live performances and recordings, while I wrote and sang the lyrics. Of course, there's also a fast playing accordion too! Lalala, HAPPY DAY, HAPPY TIME!

Character Information

pop'n music

A slightly shy girl with very charming freckles. She's currently training hard to become the hairdresser she admires.

Piu:KOHA

She's YURI*chan, who came together with a song from pop'n stage. Nice to meet you.
Her animations are almost the same as pop'n stage, with just a few additional changes (it's really a few!).

Since this song is girly, lovely, a~nd stylish and cute, etc... I created animations who suited such a girl (well, from beginning to end [laughs]).
I personally highly recommend her NORMAL's slightly fidgety "huh~, what should I do?" movements, but they feel like movements she can (be allowed [laughs]) do because she's a girl (should I do it? I'll do it, right~?... I'm my own straight man).

pop'n stage

Birthplace: Japan
Hobbies: Slowly walking in Daikanyama.
Likes: Cakes. Chiboust is delicious, isn't it?
Dislikes: She doesn't really like mean people....

Staff Comments

saito

When I finished creating the HYPER chart and went to ask Simonman, "how is it?", he lectured me about the relationship between buttons and pitch relevancy at 3 a.m. in Nishi-Shinjuku.

tama

I thought Picnic was its genre name until the end of development.

Simonman

So, I've written comments for all 34 songs, and it was quite a difficult task (good job to the other staff members as well).
Well, "Picnic" was a popular song in pop'n stage. You can somehow play it with your hands now.
By the way, we needed to remake the audio track to cross it over, and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank kiddy for kindly cooperating with us during that time.
Well then, see you at pop'n stage 2 next time. Oh, I'm wrong.

wac

Come to think of it, many members of this team were involved in pop'n stage. Did you notice the game over song?
pop'n stage. It's bittersweet. I had fun. But, there are many memories I'd like to forget.
For now, please don't go and look at its official website or paste links now. Seriously.
But this time, I'd be happy if those who liked this song would travel across Japan in search for pop'n stage. I'm saying bad things in various ways.
I've always loved this very memorable song since pop'n stage. It's great.

ShimaQ

It's a somewhat slightly nostalgic song. It's a "come to think of it, that happened~" song.

tera

This is a song that Simonman was obsessed with, and he strongly recommended "let's include it as a hidden song". It was a pop'n stage song, so I only listened to it in the soundtrack, but its charts also feel very fun. The character is amazing, and I quite love her movements.

Piu:KOHA

This was my first time drawing animations, and I remember those days when I faced various difficulties.
To try and actually perform the same movements and poses as the character.... (oh, even now?!)
When I just drew YURI*chan's animations, I felt a bit more girlish.... (well, that was a while ago [laughs])

shio

I've really loved this song since it was included in pop'n stage, so this time, I'm glad that I can also play it in pop'n. YURI*chan's movements are cute and her freckles are very charming! Yes, this song feels "charming" itself! It's really girls pop for girls, right? I'd like all the fashionable girls around the world to play it. But, it's a hidden song....
