Japanese
鏡に映るボク きっとこんなもんだろう 昨日の繰り返し 多分そんなもんだろう 甘い甘い密の味 どんなもんだろう キミの瞳に映るボクは？ 曖昧な言葉 巧みにボクを追い込んで 森に逃げ込んだキミはとんだお姫様 七人のナイトをウインクで従えて いつか来る誰か待ってるの？ 光と影 キミはいつもフワリ抜けてく 赤いリンゴ食べたボクは ワナに堕ちていく
Long Version
Japanese
鏡に映るボク きっとこんなもんだろう 昨日の繰り返し 多分そんなもんだろう 甘い甘い密の味 どんなもんだろう キミの瞳に映るボクは？ 曖昧な言葉 巧みにボクを追い込んで 森に逃げ込んだキミはとんだお姫様 七人のナイトをウインクで従えて いつか来る誰か待ってるの？ 光と影 キミはいつもフワリ抜けてく 赤いリンゴ食べたボクは ワナに堕ちていく いたずらに笑顔を振りまいてるんだろう ふいに黙っては困らせてるんだろう 本当の心は 何を映すんだろう ボクの瞳に映るキミは・・・ 愛という魔法で ボクを振り回して 動けない心 何度も問いただす 世界中で一番好きなのはあなただと ボクを映して誰に言うのか？ 罪と罰 キミは自分しか愛せない 愛の罪に溺れたボクは 目を覚ませない (贈り物を手にしてやってくる男たち 心の裏側がまるで鏡に映っている 振り回されて楽しんでる男たち 私はただ付き合ってあげているだけ 誰も待ってなんていないし 誰も信じてなんていないわ 閉ざされた心は 毒を失っているだけ･･･) 光と影 キミはいつもフワリ抜けてく 赤いリンゴ食べたボクは ワナに堕ちていく |

Trivia
- In pop'n music 4 and pop'n music 5, 赤いリンゴ's character was AYA [4], who was designed by p-cat.
- 赤いリンゴ is the only song from pop'n music 3 CS that made its arcade debut in pop'n music 4.
- 赤いリンゴ is the only song from pop'n music 4 that does not appear on the pop'n music 4 consumer originals album, due to being a previous CS song.
- 赤いリンゴ was a hidden song in pop'n music 4. To play it:
- On your first STAGE, clear either URBAN POP (Prism♡Heart) or NEW WAVE (Don't Disturb).
- On your second STAGE, clear one of the following songs: J-POP (Life), FUSION (CROSSOVER 12), AFRICA (Con te sabi 2119), CANDY POP (Give me your pain), NEW FOLK (走れブン！ブン！), CLASSIC 2 (R.C.), or CUTE (取り返してやる！～Again,My Lovely Day～).

- 赤いリンゴ is the only CS pop'n music song that received a LIVE version in pop'n music 8.
- Before pop'n music 11, the songwheel genre for the LIVE version of 赤いリンゴ was グルーヴロックLIVE.
- "Akai ringo" translates in English to "red apple", hence why SANAE-chan has a red apple in her hand on the banner for the LIVE version.
