涙のむこうに かかる虹を いつかは 越えてゆける 信じて、My Friend 時は とめどなくよせる 波のようだね 泳ぎ疲れ いつしか 流されそうになっていたよ 涙でにじんだ ビルの上に 見上げる あこがれは 確かにここにある あの日その胸に かけた虹を 追いかけ走りだそう わらって、My Friend 信じて、My Friend

涙のむこうに かかる虹を いつかは 越えてゆける 信じて、My Friend 時は とめどなくよせる 波のようだね 泳ぎ疲れ いつしか 流されそうになっていたよ 空は あれから いくつも 季節運んで 君の声を こんなに小さく変えていたなんて 何かをつかんだ 指のすきま きらきら輝いて こぼれたものは なに? うまくできるほど 苦しくなる 誰よりも 君は ほら 気付いている そしていつでも 平気な顔をするたび ふさぐ耳で きしんだ痛みを聞いてたんだ 僕も 涙でにじんだ ビルの上に 見上げる あこがれは 確かにここにある あの日その胸に かけた虹を 追いかけ走りだそう わらって、My Friend 永い雨が止む その時 冷え過ぎたこの頬に 光をください 迷わず もう二度と離さないよ 涙でにじんだ ビルの上に 見上げる あこがれは 確かにここにある あの日その胸に かけた虹を 追いかけ走りだそう わらって、My Friend かすかで いいんだ 明日の風に吹かれて 僕たちは 生きてゆけるはずさ 涙のむこうに かかる虹を いつかは 越えてゆこう 信じて、My Friend わらって、My Friend |

Song Production Information

Hiro shishou
This is a song by Parquets, who's famous for MAGICAL GIRL and CELT in 3.
The recording of the above two songs was held during the same time at a resort studio in Yamanashi Prefecture, but since other songs were recorded at the studio, we brought equipment in the room to do the final arrangement track down.
It was hot, the equipment was overheating, and I was working with the Parquets members while sweating, but I can't believe that it's a very refreshing song.
LIVE Version
Hello. The season when pop'n live in March passed by in an instant, and it's already midsummer! These days. How are you feeling?
I'm Manami Fujino, who's in charge of Vo..
Well, the live version of "Over The Rainbow" was Parquets' last song that day, and I was very moved while singing it.
I was the happiest when we all sang together at the venue. Thank you.
(Actually, I feel like crying a bit....)
As expected, I was embarrassed to cry, so I tightly endured it (laughs)
... Well, when I watched this video later, I was "gugugu" in this song! I showed a grim look on my face.
Those in the front seats might've been scared. Sorry~.
Oh, um, the maracas I threw towards the audience at the end, flew far away with a "byu~n", and felt good.
I was able to endure my own impulse to feel like jumping off, after all.
--------------- ↑ Fujino's comment is above ------------ ↓ Kataoka's comment is below --------------
Hello. I'm Kataoka, who's in charge of the key. and just has a great reflection despite feeling invisible.
Mom, that hat of mine didn't fly as I thought.
Well, as Fujino said above, this song was performed last at the live, and the original simply ended, so I wondered (a bit) about what to do with the ending until the end, but I fell in love with that kind of heavy ending. Since our usual live concerts, the number of orchestra hits has increased from 2 > 4, and at the pop'n live, it's 5 + 1 long. How much will it increase? Next time, I've renewed my resolve to go full-throttle with it. But, I'll end up filling it in with ink.
It's a secret that immediately after the curtains fell, I foolishly ended up tripping over the cables.
I'm really glad that it wasn't captured on video. Phew.
# Please forget about the ending.
Character Information
Birthplace: White Land
Hobbies: Flying in the sky, playing the trumpet
Likes: Her mother, a fish family
Dislikes: Swimming
When an angel grows in heart and ability, their body also grows! It seems Poet also became a slightly older girl. But, how she swims....
INUCHIYO
She grew up a bit, and her outfit has become graceful. What do you think she's wearing?
I thought about using Poet because she suited Parquets' song, and when I carefully listened to the song afterwards, the phrase "I'm drowning" suited her so much and I enjoyed it.
Staff Comments
saito
This turned out to be the most difficult Parq song.
TAMA
I got 100,000 points for the first time from this song's LIVE Version.

No, I won't forget the ending at all, or rather, I already almost forgot and vaguely remember Kataoka's honest appearance, who went to every person to pour alcohol like a new company employee.
For this song, I somehow wanted to make it a game where everyone in the audience sings along, and I selfishly requested various things to pure, who was in charge of the notecharts.
It's a punishing song where she had to stay up all night and said various things like "I don't remember doing almost anything until now" just before it was uploaded.

I really love the scene at the live concert when Fujino faces the microphone towards the audience, and they all sing along together. Somehow, I felt wowed and happy that this was a live performance.
I just have lovely memories of the ending, so I'll never forget them.
Mikoshiba
It's cute.
Chobi.
There's a shining rainbow past my tears! I tried my best with such thoughts.
ShimaQ
Being able to sing in front of others is amazing.
