Song Production Information

What's the SPY genre!? You're probably thinking this, but you'd understand when you listen to it.
There are continuous powerful phrases, such as the guitar in the intro, two brass voices, and odd time signature, and I think there's a big sense of accomplishment when you can clear this song.

pop'n music original soundtrack

You might've heard the music genre name SPY for the first time, but that's the only thing you can think of. However, it isn't simply a parody, even if you look musically, there are a variety of highlights that become satisfying to play in the game. In particular, when you play the interacting brass in the second half well, it feels like your brain has separated into left and right sides. However, despite this, I lowered its difficulty level quite a bit and made it simple. This CD contains the original song in the game, but you probably noticed that it's subtly arranged to sound more complicated.

pop'n stage

SECRET-S

It's the familiar SPY from pop'n music. I thought it'd be interesting to step to the first half guitar phrases, so I also ended up including this song in pop'n stage. After all, it was interesting. When you lower your body while stepping in the first half, perhaps it's nice to feel a bit like a spy.
