Congratulations!
Soyomogi has a great sound sense, right?
Each respective sound isn't emphasized, but is confident and harmoniously flows.
It felt like a flowing sense.
And it pretends to be comfortable and relaxing, but it actually sounds outrageous! So, this is a royal instrumental song in pop'n.
Please experience that outrageous, unbreakable coffee break in front of the cabinet!

Even among the instrumental songs without vocals, this song noticeably shines with plenty of developments which fully used stillness and movement.
It's fully loaded with listening points such as game-like song composition and simulation in every instrument, and this is also a key point in its selection.
An advantage of instrumental songs is that "instruments are the leading part", and you can compose songs without being drawn to the vocal atmosphere, but I think this song fully used these strengths to create a unique space.

Soyomogi
Hello. I'm Soyomogi. I live by consuming caffeine. Recently, I remember the devilish taste of scones.
Thank you very much for choosing our child this time. Although this child has difficult rhythms, by all means, I'd be happy if you conquer it.
Some explanations about this song...
The BPM is constant. The different rhythmic feeling occurs when one measure is split into many parts. There are some parts mixed with septuplets and quadruplets. The time signature is just odd in one part. (During the organ solo in the middle section)
This was my first attempt to create a song from a rhythm base, so I enjoyed its production. I particularly love the septuplet phrases. However, my mind was constantly confused.
I usually relax and create songs by myself. Since I also have a website, by all means, please try to search for it if you're interested...!!

Soyomogi, congratulations! Thank you very much for the lovely song.
With a carefree sense like relaxing your shoulders, lose yourself to the various sounds repeatedly layered while the rhythms change round and round, and as the song title suggests, close your eyes and become enchanted to the finest, courteous brewed coffee~.
It's like light water droplet rhythms falling when it drips, or a complicated drifting coffee scent.
But, although it's interesting as a game that this song suddenly has an intense atmosphere in the second half, it was very difficult to make a character when the song didn't end in a relaxing way.
However, when I came up with the idea of cup-kun and everyone gathering around in a café while thinking "that's it!", I tried to make an animation of cup-kun's memories drift with fluffy steam using a different touch than usual.
Since many guest characters appear, by all means, please try watching them join in with the music in the game. Look forward to it!

The café inside the park is perfect for taking a break, and it's always very popular!
There's also a live show held in that café today. cup-kun is smiling along to the lovely music♪

Hmmm, I see~ master Soyomogi, thank you very much for your explanation!
I honestly thought the speed was changing with the rhythms///
When I once again looked at the song introduction screen, I was shocked that it's exactly a constant BPM186.
Huh~, since I don't have a strong music sense, I'm really jealous of those who can create music... shionin sincerely respects not only the award winners, but everyone who applied for Mintsuku..
Besides, although they're animations, I basically explained this in the Mintsuku webpage...
I was happy to meet cup-kun after a while. I'd be happy if all the guests also enjoy it. By the way, the lose animation is Chihi's request. (I wonder if morning coffee is OK?)
Songs with this kind of swaying rhythm is very fun to play in a game, and although it's slightly embarrassing to unconsciously sway left and right, I also made cup-kun swing a lot. I was happy to draw my favorite cakes and coffee. Thank you very much~.

This song is fun to play, which is fashionable and contains a lot of gameplay developments often seen in music games.
masaru
Among the instrumental songs, it somehow has a pop'n-ish café feeling to it.
Although pop'n has many intense songs, it's nice to listen to a relaxing song in a café, right?
KC
I think this is a calm song with a very popular atmosphere.
Although the players can't calm down.
tokky
It seems like cup-kun enjoys being around various people in this fashionable song!
I'm sure it's packed with various people's thoughts~.
I'm relieved to see that cup-kun is being loved.

On a Saturday afternoon, at a fashionable café during a relaxing time.
.........
This song hurts when I imagine this.
When Saturday afternoon starts after a busy week, let's have an image of welcoming a Saturday afternoon once again.
The coffee is bitter. Somewhat.
Well, but since I like that busy part and think it's cool, I don't know if I'm human.
Ga~su~
I was unprepared for the relaxing preview.
PON
Sound-wise, it sounds gentle, but this is a brutal difficulty level! Are many people relatively confused?
The middle section where the time signature changes without changing the BPM is tricky and interesting.
Since the piano's ornaments are somehow recreated in the game, I hope you won't give up until the end.

The great interpretation of rhythms and intertwined phrases is very mathematical.
Music and math respects the Baroque period.
Although this relaxing song and its demon notecharts is a pop'n characteristic, by combining relaxing and demon in the EX chart, the many notes results in something difficult, and recently became an unusual chart.
Even if you open other drawers from Soyomogi, it feels like these songs have potential, like a box containing successive surprises.
Personally, I'm looking forward to what kinds of songs they've listened to next.
Chihi
Doesn't it feel slightly mature when you choose this fashionable and addictive café music?
When I gave her animation ideas, she ended up making more animations than I thought♪ I'm happy~
I wish I could always be in this position while holding a cup of coffee and saying things like "how about these animations?"!
Fluffy memories~ spending a lovely coffee time with everyone!
The key point isn't just to drink, but to somewhat enjoy the brewing time, isn't it?
The LOSE animation is my favorite~, asking for Jean's morning coffee! Good luck!

If this kind of song has a drawing or video, I wonder if it'll be expressed in a calm, clear, and simple way, but I like how pop'n expresses "everyone gathering around in a café" in a lively way.
I wonder if they understood such thing and competed with a coffee song. I wonder if the 9 image is strong.
And with the designer's aura of requesting the senior shio to make the animations as expected, the pencil touch is cute and wow! It turned out like that. I can't get enough of the LOSE punchline.
