Music Comment
It has an odd time signature, so it's difficult to get into the rhythm! A novel fusion song with a mysterious atmosphere.
Song Production Information
Tsuchiya
Personally, for better or worse, I have the impression that progressive music is "generally complicated and difficult to understand", and wondered whether if it'd be a good idea to include it in pop'n without changes, like does odd time signature mean ambiguous atmosphere? I tried to make a fusion-like song while keeping these elements.
I tried to put a slightly twisted melody to the neat accompaniment, which is somehow perfect for listening tests in music schools, but what do you think?
