I started getting lost when I realized I wasn't going after my goals When I thought it shouldn't be like this, it just made me more irritated You ... everything I thought I believed, I was just spinning my wheels You ... when I've even gotten sick of the fake smiles, like I'll escape the emptiness If I can do this here, like I've fallen asleep, I don't even care in my dreams; for a while, I'll be a late riser Late riser ... late riser ... oh ... riser ... yeah!!

I started getting lost when I realized I wasn't going after my goals When I thought it shouldn't be like this, it just made me more irritated You ... everything I thought I believed, I was just spinning my wheels You ... when I've even gotten sick of the fake smiles, like I'll escape the emptiness If I can do this here, like I've fallen asleep, I don't even care in my dreams; for a while, I'll be a late riser My impatient uneasiness is because I can't find anything I can depend on If you blurt out the words you've wanted to say, my eyes will glitter with despair You ... I just can't take everything I'm supposed to forgive anymore You ... If you show me your mindless attitude, like I'm embraced in sleep If I can do it like this, asleep, Don't let me wake up; for a while, I'll be a late riser Late riser ... late riser ... oh ... riser ... yeah!!

Song Production Information

Thank you for everyone who dropped me lines about "Cry Out" from last time. To all of you who supported it even through the remix stage, I want to give my sincere gratitude, along with the vocalist, KoHey. I think I'll be able to meet everyone again together with KoHey. Thanks for all your support! So, I've revived the VISUAL series with another entry after almost two years. It's so moving♪ Instead of the gently smouldering feel from "VISUAL 2", this time I've gone for an all-out on fire feeling!! That's not the only difference!! At any rate, the guitar part was all played on instinct from the heart, and I recorded it after making the transition to Guitarist of Flames mode, so I think it's got even more of a feel of running on ahead than last time. I wonder if I'm the only one *g*
Anyway, it's called "Late Riser", like when you sleep in really late. When I was making this song, I was really sleep deprived, so I gave the song this title because I wanted to become a "Late Riser", but even now I haven't been able to realize that dream ... Riser!! yeah!!
Character Information

The band you started in your free time was really fun, wasn't it? But, as whimiscal as they've ever been, you're lucky if you've ever seen one of their events.
The VISUAL guy is in a different outfit than usual. As a real vampire, he wonders, "Why are you humans trying to imitate me? Is it fun?" So, this time he's imitating humans. I wonder if he enjoys it? Anyway, that's how I came up with Yuli's character design this time. (So if the idea falls flat a little, I guess it can't be helped.)
Anyway, Inuchiyo has gotten a lot more band friends. Yuli's appeared three times now. I never would have imagined this back in the pop'n 2 days. It's an amazing feeling when something you've conceived grows to exceed your own visions. Yeah. The world is truly mysterious.
The theme for the animations this time is: "The fans, the music ... I really love all of it". I've packed it full of my own images of him. The miss action and moonlight stroll scene both have such a fairly-tale mood about them. They're my favorite parts.

We went from pop'n 2 to pop'n 4 to pop'n 8 ... It looks like VISUAL 4 will be in pop'n 16!
TAMA
I guess that means VISUAL 5 will be in pop'n 32!

w: "It's visual, huh?"
g: "It's visual!"
w: "Is it really visual?"
g: "Is it really, really visual?"
g: "It's really, really visual!"
And so we went back and forth over the telephone for an hour (really!). But what I couldn't see and couldn't understand then has finally clicked! It really truly is visual. You and I are both visual.
Ah, by the way, all of this visual verification isn't because I don't like visual music. The development of this song is like a forced march that summons up the character, and it looked like we may not have been able to do it this time. Even so, this song very effectively evokes lots of memories of recklessness. Among all of the songs we did this time, this is one of my favorites.

Hmn. Looks like master shio was working right down to the wire here.

When my boss told me he wanted to do a VISUAL 3 in a meeting, I was actually a little worried, but it was all blown away the minute I heard what a great song it was. Eh ... down to the wire, it was really exciting.

Such a cool sound and great voice.
chobi.
It really feels visual. My heart is pounding.

Wow, that's really cool.
