Lyrics

Japanese

七色絵巻のよう  賑わう街鮮やかに
季節は桜花爛漫  此処は江戸華小路

扇橋の上に緋色の恋が咲き
霞む空へと想い馳せる

ふわり  ふわり　 舞い踊る様に
ふわり  ふわり　 包む花びら
ふわり  ふわり　 薄紅色に
ふわり  ふわり　 染まる華小路

例え  今宵  桜吹雪が みっつよっつと散りぬれど
明日も此の町の彼処には  百万の夢  乱れ溢れる

ふわり  ふわり　 舞い踊る様に
ふわり  ふわり　 煌めきながら
ふわり  ふわり　 錦の夢に
ふわり  ふわり　 染まる華小路

しゃんららしゃらら  行き交う
しゃんららしゃらら  華小路

Romaji

English

Like a colorful emaki, the bustling town is filled with vivid colors
The season is bursting with cherry blossoms, this is the Edo flower path

Above Ougibashi blooms a scarlet love
As the thoughts drift off into the hazy sky

Softly, gently, as if it is dancing while fluttering
Softly, gently, flower petals embrace
Softly, gently, in a light crimson color
Softly, gently, dyed is the flower path

Even if tonight, the storm of cherry blossoms shall scatter and fall from a number of trees
Tomorrow once again, a million dreams will be overflowing all over this town

Softly, gently, as if it is dancing while fluttering
Softly, gently, while it sparkles
Softly, gently, by the brocade dreams
Softly, gently, dyed is the flower path

Shalala, shalala, people come and go
Shalala, shalala, this is the flower path

Song Production Information

beatmania IIDX

jun

"Hana ranman -Flowers-" was announced for DDR SuperNOVA.
You can finally play it on IIDX!!

This is a commemorative song, and it's TЁЯRA's first written song for the DDR series.
After having a discussion, I remember we pursued it without allowing any small compromises, and created it through TЁЯRA's unique concept, "Let's depict a new mentality".

The lyrics depict spring during the Edo period.
While making this song, the image of a lively and gorgeous spring scenery in Edo wouldn't leave my head, so I wrote the lyrics with this scenery in mind.
....And even now, this image is still fresh in jun's mind.

For jun, this song is very emotional.
That's why I'm truly privileged to interact with everyone in different ways this time.
Those who have played DDR, as well as those who haven't.
By all means, please play this song while humming it!

~ Shalala, shalala, people come and go
Shalala, shalala, this is the flower path ~

NAOKI MAEDA

"Hana ranman -Flowers-" will constantly be one of TЁЯRA's representative songs.

In order to breathe life into this song, it needs power beyond words.
This becomes the song's essence.
However, it's everyone in the audience who likes the song, which serves as the alarm for that life to exist.

Singing, lyrics, songs, arrangements, artists, the audience.....
It's said that a song which connects them to a higher dimension is a masterpiece.

If that's the case with "Hana ranman -Flowers-", I'll be extremely happy.

As TЁЯRA, our debut song in DDR is "Hana ranman -Flowers-".
I remember revising this song many times, so DDR fans can enjoy playing it.
The lyrics depict spring during the Edo (period).
While making this song, the image of a lively and gorgeous spring scenery in Edo wouldn't leave my head, so I wrote the lyrics with this scenery in mind.
And even now, this image is still vivid in jun's mind.

Before I knew it, you can play "Hana ranman -Flowers-" on 3 BEMANI game series, right?
It started with Dance Dance Revolution, beatmaniaIIDX, and finally it can be accessed by pop'n music fans.
I think "Hana ranman -Flowers-" is the first TЁЯRA song to contain the same arrangement in 3 game series.
jun thinks of her own created songs like her own children, but I think this song is her happy child.

....And the flower path in the Great Edo spring is also bustling with people today.

Every time you press a single button, one pop sounds like a flower bud blooming.
I would be happy if everyone could have an enjoyable and gorgeous stroll along such a dream-filled "flower path".

--- Shalala, shalala, people come and go
Shalala, shalala, this is the flower path ---

NAOKI MAEDA

I think the song which represents TЁЯRA's changing sound is "Hana ranman -Flowers-".
When this song was completed, it felt like I saw a new path.

Hello.
My name is hasi from the DDR team.

I would appreciate if you like the 3D character.

Staff Comments

TAMA

From the ported song requests, this was by far the best from the DDR category.
Speaking of DDR, when I used all my strength from Little bitch, I remember feeling disappointed with my limited timing and motor skills.

eimy

This song... I love it! A song which can be remembered after hearing it once is really amazing, isn't it? It's a song which makes you want to dance~.
Also, I feel close to the leading character, EMI, in several ways.

Seiya Murai

A song from DDR Super Nova via IIDX15, it came to pop'n, but based on the genre serial number, it finally returned to it's original place!(^^)

chihiro

I didn't know the song title, so when I asked shio, "what kind of song is Hana ranman?", he sang it.
The part where shalala is sung shows the brilliance of people coming and going, and there are various reasons why I like this part.

Daniel

The atmosphere has changed from HYPER JAPANESQUE 1, hasn't it?
I can still hear the shalala phrase.

masaru

In coordination with the DDR team, I had EMI appear as a 3D character like AFRO.
How's the hidden costume! I was a bit obsessed about it.

shio

If you borrow the attraction song from SUPER NOVA, you need to bring the characters together! was what I unreasonably asked. It was a very busy place during the development's climax... Thank you very much! EMI's costume is casual and I was worried about whether it would suit the song, but I learned that the hidden costume is a dress which also says the lyrics, fuwari!, so I was lucky!
As a side note, when I imagined KIKYO was the leading character because of the Japanesque connection, it was very surreal seeing him dancing and holding a skull to the lyrics shalala shalala while expressionless.
