you're seen my meadow. his face like sorrow. you must sing. must follow with you to eyes can't tomorrow. when the moon saw in the eyes, two of loads went to the sky. all night long, birds sang lonely rules for care or no more. in my hand, peace of your mind marvelous fortune the smile. the wind in the blue sea canary. her little dog are lying. all night long for the way that seek you slow down. night and day, I wanna go away. that where you know winter with the moon. totally heaven. the truth goes flying away. all along, they didn't come there and here now where is my flower. I fall my love never how do you feel no more to wanna gain us my mind. we're around when winter, much of snug snow falling to the fool of love. with nasty snowbird, gain rest so my longing that flew all night and day.
Long Version
you've seen the meadow. his face with sorrow. you must sing. you must follow with the eyes until tomorrow. when the moon saw in the eyes, two of lords went to the sky. all night long, birds sang lonely rules for care or no more. in my hand, peace of your mind marvelous fortune the smile. the wind in the blue sea canary. her little dog are lying. the wind in the blue sea finally her little roses on the ground. when the moon saw in the eyes, two of lords went to the sky. all night long, birds sang lonely rules for care or no more. in my hand, peace of your mind marvelous fortune the smile. the wind in the blue sea canary. her little dog are lying. all night long for the way that seek you slow down. night and day, I think of you and sing. the rose is shut in in this winter with the moon. it’s totally like heaven. the truth goes far away. all along, they didn’t come over to take care of my little flowers. I fall my love never how do you feel no more to wanna gain my mind. the ruler melts in spring time, much snow paints over the world in the fool of love. even if I know that it’s on time. gain restless go on my longing that flew all night. when you thinking the moon that blowing your mind. it’s moving my filter. a gibbous moon floating in the sky behind the time was eclipsed by my garden. you're seen the meadow. his face with sorrow. you must sing. you must follow. we’ll forget again to know. night and day, I think of you and sing. the rose is shut in in this winter with the moon. it’s totally like heaven. the truth goes far away. all along, they didn’t come over to take care of my little flowers. I fall my love never how do you feel no more to wanna gain my mind. the ruler melts in spring time, much snow paints over the world in the fool of love. even if I know that it’s on time. gain restless go on my longing that flew all night. the ruler melts in spring time, much snow paints over the world in the fool of love. even if I know that it’s on time. gain restless go on my longing that flew all night and day. |

From "beatmania IIDX", night and day, I think of you and sing.

Yeah, yeah. It's a garden. Hello. It's a garden. Garden.
The lyrics are in English, so I think it's difficult to understand, but as Aono explains right down below, it's about a middle-aged gardener lecturing about how he prunes Niwaki in the shape of rabbits and flamingos. Therefore, it's a garden.
When I write songs for IIDX, I think about various things when creating them, like my role, or the response it'll receive.
However, this time the IIDX sound director said in general, "let's try making what you like without caring about various things, gahaha", and since a pre-Chinese movement occurred, I simply took advantage of this, and created a song I liked, with notecharts which are fun to play.
Those who enjoy playing it on HYPER are probably just as skilled as me.
ANOTHER is probably for someone much more skilled than me.
About the singer Rie Aono, in case that you were wondering, she's from my same university circle at that time.
Even back then, she was a natural vocalist who was best known for simply being "good at singing".
She was a background chorus singer for Kohaku from her student days.
We watched it with many others in the living room while eating soba.
That's right, thanks to the designers' efforts, all the songs have movies and animations, so I'm grateful that this song was included, which was barely created on time as a demo, as per usual.
Anyways, since it's a garden, I was excited to see the movie about a middle-aged gardener pruning Niwaki in the shape of rabbits and flamingos, but it feels like the uniformed girl fits the song better than the middle-aged gardener, so the result is alright.
When I first saw it in the cabinet, I basically said "wow, that's amazing".
I really surrender to GOLI.
Rie Aono
When I first heard this captivating melody and rhythm, I immediately thought of an Oscar Wilde fairy tale.
The Nightingale and the Rose
A thorn and a drop of blood before dawn
A dog lying down
Please try to imagine this mysterious garden.

Two tired men on the night before uploading it.
G "I'm sorry, I didn't have time to do anything...."
W "........., huh, that's ridiculous (angry)"
G "........., if you have an idea, I'll make it."
W "........., as long as there's a moon and a rose, I'll leave it up to you."
G "........., hoho.........."
On the day of the data deadline
G "......... phew."
W "......... phew."
(Some parts were dramatized, but the exchange was roughly like that.)
No, roses are difficult, seriously. The drawings take more time than other songs.
The data files were so big that they made JONY cry.
By the way, I think this is quite the best song among those composed by wac.
I like it very much. No, as a fellow cat lover.
If I have time, I'd like to also try and create a quiet movie.
