Lyrics

Game Size

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

Long Version


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, in 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

When the sun is gone, stars appear in darkness
Noticed you've chose another princess
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Dance alone with smile for you till sunrise

That day I gave her my clear voice
Instead of a shiny day
I know this silent song's a fairytale
Ah could you hear me please

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

Music Comment

Welcome to a fantastic world of sad melodies and cute voices.

Song Production Information

beatmania IIDX

Halka

From the group HHH, here is Halka.

This time, Halka and moimoi have teamed up to form a new group, called Cream puff.

Well, for the genre Bubblegum Dance, one important thing is to have cute vocals!
When I asked to add this type of song, they said they "would do it", but it took a few years.

Finally, after a while, they allowed me to do it!
Along with this came the responsibility of producing this.

For me to write the lyrics... it was a big responsibility.
I remember thinking about them when awake or asleep.

After a while, the shiny song Mermaid girl was born.
The amount of revisions and the finished product differed greatly from the original.

As for the singer of the song, it is no other than the super cute vocalist from Supernova, moimoi!
And Ryu☆, with his great reputation for catchy melodies and sparkly sounds, came to help too!
With this great duo helping, the completion of this song far surpassed my expectations!!!

Even now, I still have great nostalgia over those happy days☆

Please enjoy this song!

moimoi

Hi everyone♪, I'm moimoi ☆ ☆ ☆.

One day, I received the lyrics to this shiny and sparkly melody.

I watched it, and the moment I listened to it, my hair shined in rainbow colors!
Wanting to project this image, I sung very hard!

Special thanks go out to Ryu☆ and Halka for making such a wonderful song.

Now everyone! ♪ ♪ ♪ Let us go to a world with rainbows together...

Ryu☆

Hey, it's Ryu☆, the one in charge for the sound of Cream puff/Mermaid girl.
Because of the directions of Halka P, I am proud of making this great song!
I look forward to seeing a lot of plays for this song!

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 have 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

2 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 on various games.
Thank you very much

Huh? Do I like cream puffs?
Soft pie is my preferred type.
Soft pie is my preferred type.

Video Production Information

Fukutomi WAVE

A wish sung by a lovely singing voice is hidden by the foamy waters.
Would you notice me?

I showed up out of the fleeting sweet and beautiful paradise.
Would you notice me?

But you'll not notice
Because it is a sad fairy tale...

Staff Comments

PON

A mermaid is perfect for fantasia!
That's why we decided to crossover it.
When I heard it for the first time when IIDX18 was released, I wondered, "Who is 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?

Ah, 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 "Mamega", 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 somewhat a 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
