Japanese

Ah ピンときてるのに　言い出せない
平行線たどってる　二人がもどかしい
生まれながらに持つ　エネルギーは
有効に使わなきゃ　そんなんじゃ恋はできないでしょう？

嫌いじゃない　好きでもない
嫌いじゃない　好きでもない
嫌いじゃないってわからない

誰もみんな抱えてる迷いや不安を　でも

そう
求めてる　探してる
気持ちだけ　喜んで　悲しんだりして
過ごしてる

昔から変わらない　愛して求めあい
そして　信じて許しあう

だから
昨日とか　明日とか
地球とか　宇宙とか
そんなの全部　壊したい

心と体は同じ　重ね合う　その瞬間を待ってる

Long Version

Japanese

Ah ピンときてるのに　言い出せない 平行線たどってる　二人がもどかしい 生まれながらに持つ　エネルギーは　有効に使わなきゃ そんなんじゃ恋はできないでしょ？ 微笑んで　はにかんで うなづいて　時々は 黙ってじっと見つめたり いつか読んだ雑誌から　作戦を練らなくちゃ でも 頭では　動けない 心でも　身体でも 動いた気持ち止められない 恋の賭は負けが勝ち　繰り返し覚えてくことでしょ 白い雲をめがけ　ほおり投げた 放物線描いてく　銀に光る過去の恋 時空さまよってたどり着いた　現実は止まらない 嫌いじゃない　好きでもない 嫌いじゃない　好きでもない 嫌いじゃないってわからない 誰もみんな抱えてる迷いや不安を　でも そう 求めてる　探してる 気持ちだけ　喜んで 悲しんだりして　過ごしてる 昔から変わらない 愛して求めあい　そして　信じて許し合う だから 昨日とか　明日とか 地球とか　宇宙とか そんなの全部　壊したい 心と身体は同じ　重ね合う　その瞬間（トキ）を待ってる

Music Comment

A super lovey-dovey girl's pop song. Let's sing together!

Song Production Information

pop'n means "vocal songs". Anyways, I composed this song with the thought of making a high quality pop song, with a catchy melody that anyone can hum along to. Since the deadline and budget were extremely tight, I requested for an acquaintance to perform the Vocal, and I think the result turned out very nicely. My policy is to have "as much live playing as possible", so I played all the song's parts by hand, with almost no quantization. It has a sense of subtle fluctuations, which I personally love. This song is easy to remember, so please sing while playing it in the game.

Character Information

Rabbits came to the pop'n world in place of those who're busy.
They're somehow a quintuplet! The pink-colored pretty is somehow the eldest daughter.
She loves her teddy bear, and always goes with it wherever she goes!!
She wants to make friends with a real bear.

★ Japan ☆ Sewing, making a teddy bear!!
● Her friend's teddy bear ○ She doesn't really know what she likes or dislikes♪
