Game Size
I'm a twinkle little Mermaid girl waiting for a honey man de-dup-i-dip-i sing a song love me, take me there I'm a twinkle little mermaid girl Oh, I'm in a heavenly world de-dup-i-dip-i call my name de-dup-i-dip-i hold me long I lived in an ocean, a coral palace. Grown up in comfort, sweet princess. Sugar and spices and all that's nice, The missing ingredient was just your presence. One day, a witch gave me lovely legs to come up to your side. I know this dreamy world's a fairytale. But could you kiss me here? I'm a twinkle little Mermaid girl waiting for a honey man de-dup-i-dip-i sing a song love me, take me there I'm a twinkle little mermaid girl Oh, I'm in a heavenly world de-dup-i-dip-i call my name de-dup-i-dip-i hold me long Bubbles sparkle and disappear into the deep blue sea I know my life is a sad fairytale. So could you wipe my tears? I'm a twinkle little Mermaid girl waiting for a honey man de-dup-i-dip-i sing a song love me, take me there I'm a twinkle little mermaid girl Oh, I'm in a heavenly world de-dup-i-dip-i call my name de-dup-i-dip-i hold me long
Long Version
I'm a twinkle little Mermaid girl waiting for a honey man de-dup-i-dip-i sing a song love me, take me there I'm a twinkle little mermaid girl Oh, I'm in a heavenly world de-dup-i-dip-i call my name de-dup-i-dip-i hold me long I lived in an ocean, a coral palace. Grown up in comfort, sweet princess. Sugar and spices and all that's nice, The missing ingredient was just your presence. One day, a witch gave me lovely legs to come up to your side. I know this dreamy world's a fairytale. But could you kiss me here? I'm a twinkle little Mermaid girl waiting for a honey man de-dup-i-dip-i sing a song love me, take me there I'm a twinkle little mermaid girl Oh, I'm in a heavenly world de-dup-i-dip-i call my name de-dup-i-dip-i hold me long When the sun is gone, stars appear in darkness. Noticed you've chose another princess. Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, Dance alone with smile for you till sunrise. That day I gave her my clear voice Instead of a shiny day. I know this silent song's a fairytale. Ah could you hear me please? I'm a twinkle little mermaid girl Oh, I'm in a heavenly world de-dup-i-dip-i call my name de-dup-i-dip-i hold me long Bubbles sparkle and disappear into the deep blue sea I know my life is a sad fairytale. So could you wipe my tears? I'm a twinkle little Mermaid girl waiting for a honey man de-dup-i-dip-i sing a song love me, take me there I'm a twinkle little mermaid girl Oh, I'm in a heavenly world de-dup-i-dip-i call my name de-dup-i-dip-i hold me long |

Song Production Information
Halka
From the group HHH, here is Halka.
This time, Halka and moimoi have teamed up to form a new group, called Cream puff.
Well, for the genre Bubblegum Dance, one important thing is to have cute vocals!
When I asked to add this type of song, they said they "would do it", but it took a few years.
Finally, after a while, they allowed me to do it!
Along with this came the responsibility of producing this.
For me to write the lyrics... it was a big responsibility.
I remember thinking about them when awake or asleep.
After a while, the shiny song Mermaid girl was born.
The amount of revisions and the finished product differed greatly from the original.
As for the singer of the song, it is no other than the super cute vocalist from Supernova, moimoi!
And Mr. Ryu☆, with his great reputation for catchy melodies and sparkly sounds, came to help too!
With this great duo helping, the completion of this song far surpassed my expectations!!!
Even now, I still have great nostalgia over those happy days☆
Please enjoy this song!
moimoi
Hi everyone♪, I'm moimoi ☆ ☆ ☆.
One day, I received the lyrics to this shiny and sparkly melody.
I watched it, and the moment I listened to it, my hair shined in rainbow colors!
Wanting to project this image, I sung very hard!
Special thanks go out to Ryu☆ and Halka for making such a wonderful song.
Now everyone! ♪ ♪ ♪ Let us go to a world with rainbows together...
Ryu☆
Hey, it's Ryu☆, the one in charge for the sound of Cream puff/Mermaid girl.
Because of the directions of Halka P, I am proud of making this great song!
I look forward to seeing a lot of plays for this song!

Fukutomi WAVE
A wish sung by a lovely singing voice is hidden by the foamy waters.
Would you notice me?
I showed up out of the fleeting sweet and beautiful paradise.
Would you notice me?
But you'll not notice
Because it is a sad fairy tale...
