Lyrics

Japanese

最近疲れすぎ 
ストレスもたまってしまうし 
君も生きることに 
急ぎすぎ 
すれ違った日々

こんなはずじゃないと 
空っぽの頭悩ませば 
くだらない言い合い 
イタズラにただ過ぎさる日々


触れた指先の 
微かな迷いを 
本当はわかってる 
君のその瞳は 
何を映してるの


かりそめの笑顔に隠した 
嘘にまみれた言葉なら 
藍も夢もいらないから 
ホントの言葉で話してほしい

はじめから気づいてたんだろ？ 
うまくゆくはずないなんて 
僕がもういらないなら 
その指を離してほしい 
全部壊してくれよ

Romaji

saikin tsukaresugi
STRESS mo tamatte shimaushi
kimi mo ikiru koto ni
isogi sugi
surechigatta hibi

konna hazu ja nai to
karappo no atama nayamaseba
kudaranai iiai
itazura ni tada sugisaru hibi


fureta yubisaki no
kasuka na mayoi wo
hontou wa wakatteru
kimi no sono hitomi wa
nani wo utsushiteru no


karisome no egao ni kakushita
uso ni mamireta kotoba nara
ai mo yume mo iranai kara
honto no kotoba de hanashite hoshii

hajime kara kizuitetan daro?
umaku yuku hazunai nante
boku ga mou iranai nara
sono yubi wo hanashite hoshii
zenbu kowashite kure yo

Congratulations!
As expected, among the many submitted songs, very few of them were funk.
Since these kinds of songs haven't been in pop'n recently, I'll make one myself! I felt like I was being scolded.
Nanashi was a finalist in the public vocal audition with that singing ability. He likes funk even though he's young, and I'm looking forward to how bitter he'll become when he becomes an old man.
Although his character isn't bitter at all.
I'm looking forward to his future activities as a singer-songwriter and soothing character.

PON

Actually, Nanashi also applied for the public vocal audition, right?
I'm very happy as a staff member to be able to announce it in this form.

Although the funk genre represented by this "KARISOME" was very difficult to include recently in pop'n due to demand issues, I felt his belief and confidence while directly challenging this genre.
Of course, this resulted in perfect quality as funk and game music.
I previously had an opportunity to meet him, and his actual character is just as lovely as the vocalist's character.

Nanashi

Nice to meet you all, my name is Nanashi.
I'm very happy that my dream of having my own song included in "pop'n music", which I've played since elementary school, has come true.

Around the time I just started playing pop'n, it felt like there were many kinds of funk like this, including by Mickey Masashi, and since they extremely influenced my own style, I consciously created this song to seemingly be included in old pop'n games.

This song is funky and rock, with many textures and sultry vocals. This song is somewhat nostalgic, with a brass band and wah-wah guitar sounds. I remember recording my own vocals while sweating.
Honestly, I was very anxious about whether the current pop'n users will accept this song, but it seemed to be well received, with support messages during the 2nd screening's Internet voting, and I'm fully grateful to those who voted for it.

When I actually played it, the difficulty level was moderate with fun chord textures, so as a composer, I couldn't be more happier if you violently play and enjoy it.
Also, since I found out about the funk genre in pop'n, I'd be very happy if you're interested in funk music from this song.
And for the memories, you might also enjoy playing compositions from pop'n 10 and below!

Finally, thank you very much to all the KONAMI staff for giving me this chance, and to all the pop'n users for voting and supporting me.

Well then, everyone please fully enjoy KARISOME!

Chihi

I also unintentionally helped out, this is scalding NFR!
Although it's unusual for pop'n to include a song with the scent of such a mature man, I wonder if that's what decided it to win the award.
The more I listen to it, a shining mature urban story came to my mind!
I wonder if a man could fit this song better than a city boy with a hot heart.
Since he first appeared as the character in charge of a song, dreaming of a bright future with his girlfriend, the difference between this song's lyrics is great, and I wonder what happened between them before he reappeared...
However! Men need this kind of experience! Do your best! I sent it with these feelings.
Is it still early for immature people? Please excitedly select this song.
Nanashi, congratulations on winning the award!

pop'n music Sunny Park

You'll get burned just by touching him!?
A vocalist's hot singing about mature love is somewhat very popular.

Chihi

It's hot!
The husky voice amazingly fits this song's heat, which is lovely!
Perhaps it's a character trait, but there aren't many passionate songs flaring up, so its presence is amazing.
Since he was very hot, Teruo undresses in the middle section.
Please don't be surprised if you underestimate the Highlight Zones, as he undresses quite a lot...
This outfit was emphasized to be easy to undress from, and Teruo's original outfit idea had a white highneck & leather jacket, but shio made a mistake saying "I like this leather jacket on his bare skin"... bare skin?... I got it!! (^0^ゞ

Speaking of Teruo, this hairstyle is the key point, which sways and occasionally intensely burns... he eloquently talks as if he speaks for his feelings... and I drew him without ruining his image while murmuring this. Although his hairstyle stands out, his facial features are unexpectedly individualistic and have an exquisite balance.
Mimi has red cheeks in her WIN animation, but that's not the image of she being charmed with Teruo, it's more like she's hot and warm.
I assume that the flying leaves will spontaneously combust, since the surrounding temperature is considerably high.

Is Nanashi's speaking voice also somehow husky? I want to hear it one more time~
Although I'm not really the type to use my voice, when I listen to this song, it feels like I understand the feelings of those who say this.
Nanashi, I love your husky voice, and thank you very much~

Staff Comments

eimy

I've loved this song since the demo, and I quickly wanted~ to play it. The way he sings is very lovely!
It's perfect that the character is Teruo. I was surprised that he undressed (laughs)! It's an amazing service...

masaru

We haven't seen FUNK ROCK as a genre in pop'n for a long time, have we?
It's nostalgic, still fresh, and shocks your soul!

tokky

I've waited for a hot song to be included here!
The song and singing voice are energetic, and although I can't describe it well, it's somewhat vigorous when I listen to it while playing. It's fun!
I can't believe Teruo undressed...! Was it very hot?
I can feel power in this song!

KC

Let's clear the H chart by spring.

TAMA

Among all the applicants' songs, the individuality of this song brightly shined.
When I heard it once, I'll never forget his deeply impressive vocals.
I had an opportunity to meet him during the public vocal audition, and his impressive voice matched the person.

Mameshiba

By all means, please experience the hidden text in amusement facilities across Japan.
I'll inadvertently look smug when you play along with the powerful singing voice, and cool guitars and drums. How disgusting~!
The "derere deddeddeddeddedde deden" before the chorus! That section is so cool~

Ga~su~

Nanashi's singing voice is powerful!
He's hot like Teruo!

shio

Mature and sexy male vocals. It's slightly been a while, but I'm happy. I can't get enough of the guitar. He's young, energetic☆ And cool~. I also want Nanashi to sing again~.
During the voting phase, there were many comments saying that it sounded slightly like an old pop'n song, and I was somehow happy that they supported this song.
The animations are also mature and sexy, and I thought "Chihi's to blame~".. huh? Is that so?? (Reconfirming that idea)... really/// She tried to do it.... but the result was alright! (^0^ゞ
Teruo, who appeared after a long time, was made to undress. He was a character whose name was selected by users in pop'n 7. (Kagome and Peetan were said to be A male and C female in the panda festival back then...)
Looking back, was that the first Mintsuku project? I'm very happy that Teruo is able to appear together with a new Mintsuku 20 song.

PON

When you hear this male voice once, you'll never forget it.
I'll never forget his character when I met him during the interview.
I wonder if he's OK.

As I mentioned in the contest comments, Nanashi also applied for the public vocal audition, and he was interviewed and demonstrated his singing.
Of course, I knew that his original song had already advanced to the second screening, so we were excited to know what kind of person KARISOME's cool vocalist was.
When Nanashi appeared, he had a comedic aura which was difficult to imagine from KARISOME's vocalist, and I somehow almost accepted him.
Even though it was just meant to be the assigned song, he was unreasonably asked to sing KARISOME, and we happily said outside the booth "wow, the person himself is singing it live".

As an original composer in the future, I hope that he won't only incorporate funk components, but also become active as a vocalist.
