Lyrics

French

J'entends ta voix douce qui appelle mon nom
Où est-il? Je me demande
L'éclat d'orange m'aveugle et voilà je te trouve à côté
Nous sentons le vent tendre qui sent bon
Le temps est ralenti
Je t'ensorcelle, tu m'en veux pas
Tu ne pourrais pas retourner
 
Regarde-moi dans ce tourbillon
Ecoute-moi dans ce tourbillon

English

I hear your soft voice calling my name
Where is he? I wonder 
The flash of orange blinds me and I find myself at your side 
We feel a nice-smelling, gentle wind
Time is slowed down 
I enchant you, you do not want me 
You cannot return 

Look at me in this whirlwind
Listen to me in this whirlwind

Song Production Information

TOMOSUKE

YEYE is a French style music that was popular in the 60's, and originally meant a chanson with a strong beat.
I aimed for a more mature sound for this song by taking that style as a base and adding in jazz and bossa nova elements.
I think it isn't obvious in the game, but I was rather geeky about tweaking each sound.
By the way, the title is "Marmalade Reverie".
This was taken from my delusions of an orange spiral-patterned scene that often appears in my imagination.
My consciousness is always directed towards the center of this spiral.

Video Production Information

shiro

It's a video of repeatedly eating. In the style of a spy movie. And a cart filled with marmalade.
This is an Orange Lounge movie, with girls ultimately running wild.
There was no song title in the first place. A young girl's spirit is weak against the cuteness of jelly-shaped foods. When I already heard the song title, I was already in that world. I couldn't stop.

Also, this duo appears again this time, but actually, I'm also happy that they appear in Gita7Dora6. Furthermore, their bangs are cut straight.
Thank you Orange Lounge, aka T and F.
