Music Comment
It has an odd time signature, so it's difficult to get into the rhythm! A novel fusion with a mysterious atmosphere.
Song Production Information
Tsuchiya
Personally, for better or worse, I have the impression that progressive music is "generally complicated and difficult to understand", and wondered whether to include it in pop'n without changes, so does odd time signature mean ambiguous atmosphere? I tried to make a fusion-ish song while keeping these elements.
I tried to put a slightly twisted melody to the neat accompaniment, which is somehow perfect for listening tests in music schools, but what do you think?
