Lyrics

Japanese

大キライだったそばかすをちょっと
ひとなでしてタメ息をひとつ
ヘヴィー級の恋はみごとに
角砂糖と一緒に溶けた
前よりももっと やせた胸にちょっと
“チクッ"っとささるトゲがイタイ
星占いも あてにならないわ
もっと遠くまで 一緒にゆけたら ねぇ
うれしくて それだけで

想い出はいつもキレイだけど
それだけじゃ おなかがすくわ
本当は せつない夜なのに
どうしてかしら?
あの人の笑顔も思いだせないの

Romaji

daikirai datta sobakasu wo chotto
hitonade shite tameiki wo hitotsu
HEAVY kyuu no koi wa migoto ni
kakuzatou to issho ni toketa
maeyori mo motto yaseta mune ni chotto
"chiku" tto sasaru toge ga itai
hoshi uranai mo ate ni naranai wa
motto tooku made issho ni yuketara nee
ureshikute sore dake de

omoide wa itsumo kirei dakedo
sore dake ja onaka ga suku wa
hontou wa setsunai yoru na no ni
doushite kashira? ano hito no egao mo omoidasenai no

Music Comment

That song that makes you excited just by listening to it! Play it seriously!

Song Production Information

PON

I'm PON, who was in charge of ordering pop-kuns again.
If you put freckles on a pop-kun, they would look like a hamburger.
But I think pop-kuns are pretty as they are now.

This song has a band sound, but how to express the band sound in a fun pop'n chart!?
I remember that I had to keep this in mind when I made the charts.

Also, what kind of patterns would fit to make the springy rhythm fun to play?
I thought about that before making the patterns.

I also tried to make the chart a little unconnected to show the guitar improvisation in the last part.
I thought about that before making the patterns.

I also thought about the fact that freckles are more likely to appear in people with low levels of melanin pigment in their bodies... and also that ultraviolet rays in childhood have a great influence on spots in adulthood... and also that sunscreen cream is almost ineffective unless you use a lot.
I thought about that before making the patterns.

So, since we're afraid of ultraviolet rays outside, let's go to the arcade and play pop'n!
Yay, yay, yay.

Character Information

None.

Momoko Yamazaki

It's nice to be able to play guitar and play drums.
I have a lot of respect for that alone.
I can't tell you how many times I've tried to play the guitar and failed...
No, no. This time, I will use this opportunity to become an awesome guitarist and drummer!

■ About the song in charge

I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to work on a song that I unexpectedly love.
I drew a cute girl to match the cuteness of the song.
I hope that boys and girls all over the country will get into the groove and play along with it!

Staff Comments

chihiro

Wow!（*▽*）This is amazing!! But the time go by so fast, and it's already been 12 years since its release. It is older than pop'n! I still can't grasp the rhythm of the pop-kuns at the beginning.

eimy

Now that I think about it, the lyrics are amazing.
When this song was popular, I was into a different line of music so I wasn't interested in it at all, but now I feel like slapping myself for being so foolish. It's a cute song~

kinoko

Hmm, nostalgic.
When this song was sang at karaokes, I was still a kid who just got her school bag.
So I couldn't imagine what "heavyweight love" was, and I thought it was something like "heavyweight = big body = love with a pro-wrestler or sumo wrestler".
I'd like to ask Daniel and Mameshiba for the answer later.

Otsu

It's a love song, right? At the time, I couldn't understand the lyrics and thought it was a song about freckles...

wac

Reminiscing about my youth, and around the time of their major label debut, when I was listening to their first album in the car on the way to the pedestrian mall, thinking about what a great band they are.
There's no way for the current staff to not know about the relationship with Mary and JUDY after all.
At the time, I wondered why the theme of a Meiji-era swordsman was named "Freckles".
I thought that "cheek scratch", or "topknot", or even "short cut" would have been more appropriate.
Rumor has it that when the offer came to sing the theme song for an anime tie-in, anime was associated with an image of people not caring about freckles or favoring a flat nose, or something like that.
I don't know if it's true or not, but famous songs are born quite nicely, aren't they?

Mameshiba

This song is actually a song that I am very attached to.
When I was a student, the first CD album I bought... did not have this song on it.
I was going to buy the one that had it, but I bought an older album by mistake.
So what's the point? Huh? I don't know what "attachment" means...
You can probably reproduce the lyrics if you put on Mimi and Frog pop-kuns.

Don't tell anyone that I force myself to sing it at karaoke.
Daniel sings too.
