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

Welcome to a fantastic world of sad melodies and cute voices.
Song Production Information
beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem Official Website
Halka
I'm Halka, who helps out with HHH♪
This time, Halka and moimoi produced a new unit, "Cream puff".
After all, bubblegum dance should have cute vocals!
It's been a few years since I said it was on my "let's do it" list.
This time, we finally said "let's really do it", and I was unexpectedly given a big role as producer!
I was entrusted to write these lyrics... it was quite an important responsibility, and I remember groaning and moaning every day whenever I slept or woke up.
After doing various things, the shiny Mermaid girl was finally born.
I've already heard it many times!
The lead singer of this song is the super new diva moimoi, who has a miraculous super cute voice!
And its sparkling sound is created by Ryu☆, who's known for his catchy melodies!
With the mighty power of them both, this impressive result far exceeded my imagination!!!
I'd be happy if you could feel the newness and nostalgia of those days☆
By all means, please play it!
moimoi
Everyone~♪, nice to meet you! I'm moimoi☆☆☆.
One day, I received a sparkling melody alongside a shiny Lyric.
From the moment I saw and listened to this, my hair shined in rainbow colors!
I tried my hardest to sing it while filled with various fantasies!
I'm very grateful to Ryu☆ and Halka for delivering this lovely song to me!
Well, everyone! Let's depart to a rainbow world together♪♪♪
Ryu☆
I'm Ryu☆, who's in charge of the Sound for "Cream puff/Mermaid girl"!
Under Halka P's passionate directions, I'm proud that it became a lovely song!
I'm looking forward to everyone's heavy play!
beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem Original Soundtrack
This is a Euro dance pop tune (bubblegum dance) by Cream puff, a brand-new project started by Halka, a VJ from the well-known BEMANI series unit HHH, and the singer moimoi. The cute lyrics & vocals are completely in English, and the sparkling sound match this girly song. Ryu☆ is in charge of the sound creation.
pop'n music
Cream puff (Halka)
Hello, I'm Halka!
I'm usually a member of HHH, but I was in charge of producing and writing lyrics here.
The story is based on The Little Mermaid.
The lyrics are a bit sad, but if you've ever shared these same feelings, you can relate to them.
That's why every girl is a princess!
Cream puff has the same meaning in English.
What kind of cream puffs do you like?
I like stacking a tower of small puffs.
I want to share them with everyone, have some tea, and enjoy eating them together!
Cream puff (moimoi)
Hello! I'm moimoi!
Halka invited me to sing Mermaid girl, and it's my very, very lucky song!
This song allowed me to meet everyone who enjoys playing music games☆彡
Two years later, everyone said
"Mermaid girl is my favorite song!"
"I know moimoi from Mermaid girl"
Which made me very happy^^
The lyrics are sad, but cute at the same time
(Such as "Sugar and spices and all that's nice"!)
With a sparkling melody, it gave birth to a new moimoi voice that has never been heard before!
By the way, I love cream puffs!!
I love all kinds of them, whether they have soft dough or crunchy tops!!!
Ryu☆
I'm Ryu☆, who's in charge of the sound.
Mermaid girl has finally arrived in pop'n.
In beatmania IIDX, there's the original and Akiba koubou MIX
In Dance Dance Revolution, there's the original
In REFLEC BEAT / REFLEC BEAT plus, there's the Ryu☆Remix
And, in pop'n music, there's the original too
It's thanks to your support that you can play this song in various games.
Thank you very much
Huh? Do I like cream puffs?
Soft pie is my preferred type.
Soft pie is my preferred type.

Fukutomi WAVE
Will you notice the wish hidden in bubbles from the bright and adorable singing voice?
Will you notice the fleeting girl who jumps out from a sweet and beautiful paradise?
But you surely won't notice them, and that's a very sad fairy tale...
Character Information
None.
Choreography Information
Dai.
It's summer! It's a festival! It's DanEvo!
So MermaGirl, which I've been personally and fiercely pushing hard for some time, came to DanEvo!!
Yay yay.
This is a dancing mermaid girl, whose choreography was specially arranged for DanEvo from the version shown at Ryu☆ and moimoi's live performances. It's energetic.
It incorporates a catchy but very intense choreo, so boys and girls, please have fun dancing to it!
Staff Comments
PON
A mermaid is perfect for fantasia!
That's why we decided to cross it over.
When I first listened to it when IIDX18 was released, I wondered "who's this cute vocalist?".
After that, moimoi received more attention. It's a good story, isn't it?
I want to eat cream puffs every once------------- in a while, maybe twice a year.
The moist ones from convenience stores are enough for me.
eimy
Wo~w! Now you can play it in pop'n quite early! I love how cute it is.
tokky
When I heard the song for the first time, I thought it was sparkling and cute~ and I didn't realize the lyrics were sad!
The Little Mermaid has a sad fate, someone please make her happy.
Chihi
This cute song has a strong image of a sailor girl sporting a bare midriff.
pop'n has a youthful mermaid girl which fits perfectly with the song title!
Ga~su~
Was it a sad song!? I don't understand English, so I thought the song was much brighter...
As a side note, I like cream puffs filled with cream.
masaru
moimoi's success is great, isn't it? She's already a pop'n character too!
Recently, drinking cream puffs seems to be popular~
Otsu
Cream puffs absolutely contain fresh cream.
shio
It's wonderful that the unit name is named after a candy. It contains perfect, sweet vocals, and is a sparkling song♪
I'm impressed that it's sung well at the beginning, like a tongue twister.
Here, I tried to imitate it to learn how to be cute, but it doesn't seem to have yellow temperance. ...shionin is in the mood to eat choux ice cream today.
wac
The hard ones have a luxurious quality that gives me high satisfaction, but I also like soft ones. I think soft puffs are nice for my stomach.
I'm happy if it not only contains custard, but fresh cream as well. I also like ice cream puffs for some reason.
I'm a person who likes éclairs. Éclair is a cool name, isn't it?
Oh, speaking of bubblegum, it's more like old-fashioned pop, and I'm not familiar with dance music myself, but when I first heard this song, it reminded me of the early DDR years and I felt nostalgic.
This song was my first moimoi song. Surprisingly, it's very recent.
I just noticed, but it's a mermaid because of bubblegum, isn't it? Or is it bubblegum because of a mermaid?
Either way, I can't help but hope KIRARA doesn't disappear like a bubble again.
Mameshiba
It's abbreviated as "MermaGirl", which Mameshiba is familiar with.
It's like I'm being absorbed into something like this.
It's somehow nostalgic, no, is it new after all? It's a somewhat strange song.
KIRARA also matches that feeling.
The "Idol Mermaid Concert" quest is unlocked when "Undersea Investigation", "Micro of Clione", and "The Wish of Ailanthus" are cleared.
"The Wish of Ailanthus" is a red quest. Click here for the unlock conditions
