Song Production Information
pop'n music 1&2 Official Website
The boom feels like it has calmed down recently, but this song 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 as much as I wanted.
When playing it, the difficulty level in the first half is high, so if you can overcome it, you can comfortably perform the melody.
pop'n music original soundtrack
I think DANCE is a song with a dark side. The first half section is especially dark, but I took "pop'n"'s game image into account, and carefully created a "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 emotional 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're actually few sound parts (although there appears to be various sounds playing), and there's also probably a few changes in each of those parts.
