The boom feels like it has calmed down recently, but it still has a bit of that J POP feeling from a while ago.
Usually, I'm strictly banned from using orchestra hits by my seniors, but I was free to use them in this song to my heart's content.
The difficulty level in the first half is high when playing it, so if you can overcome it, let's comfortably perform the melody.
pop'n music original soundtrack
I think DANCE is a song which has a dark side. The first half section is especially dark, but I took "pop'n"'s game image into account, and carefully created a constantly dark, but pop dance song without making it sound completely "heavy". Also, the second half section requires players to have a "sharp rhythmic sense". I completed the first half section while being conscious of how to surprise players (rhythmically) and keeping the song natural. In contrast, the song's second half section has a very lyrical atmosphere. The song's tone (after the climax in the middle section), suddenly switches into an intricate major key. This is simply because I wanted to add variety to the song, and make it with the thought that players wouldn't feel good if they cleared the stage with a "dark" atmosphere in the second half. And finally, as this song's maniac key point, there's actually a few sound parts (although there appears to be various sounds playing), and there's also probably a few changes in each of those parts.
