Song Production Information
Keiichi Ueno
"I was drugged with a mysterious drug and saw the ocean at Shibuya. Get Hot! Get Hot!"
One morning, I woke up with these first two lines ringing in my head.
With that "I don't know the reason why, but this is catchy!" feeling, I rushed to the studio and I managed to complete melody and chord progression without any trouble at all, while incorporating the "northern feeling phrases" that I was into at the time, in order to inject a factor that would make the song strike me from an unexpected angle.
The A-B-A structure of the song, which is a rarity nowadays, is like a 70's idol song. And in my case, this kind of song doesn't come out even if I think of it in my head, so it was very new to me. Lucky☆
As for the lyrics, after the first two lines, I had no idea what kind of world I should develop, so I asked Aya Fujii, who also wrote the lyrics for IIDX's "Kamen" series, to write the lyrics. The result was perfect! She also gave me some hints on the direction of the track.
The choice of singer was a bit difficult, but we decided on SATOE-chan the moment we heard her voice. She sang exactly as I had imagined, so I couldn't stop laughing during recording session. It was so great, I cried from laughing so hard. Perfect☆
After singing, we finished the track, mixed it, and it was finished!
I had a hard time getting it to game size because I made the full chorus on the spur of the moment I woke up, but wac solved that problem for me. Thanks a lot!
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the pop'n staff for their cooperation and wonderful understanding of this song from the time of the presentation to the time of its release. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude☆ Thank you!
I am also very grateful to President Sawa and Mrs. Sakaki of LS MUSIC for their great help during the session and for introducing me to SATOE-chan!
You know, there are different versions of this version... Oops, I let out a spoiler a bit too early, didn't I☆?
But seriously though, where did those first two lines come from? I wonder if it's influenced by "Marvelous Melmo"? It's a riddle...
I'm even more curious about everyone's reaction to this song than I usually am. ☆
Character Information
Chihi
Unforgettable Rhythm Hook No. 1 of Location Test Songs: "Fu~shigi no kusuri no~masarete!"
Even in its demo stage, the lyrics for this part were already included, so I was left wondering when the rest of it will come?? I was really looking forward to hearing the rest of the song.
I was worried that the lyrics might've been omitted from the beginning of the song, so I was left wondering, "Can we really record it...?" I was worried for a moment, but it seems that it was OK, thank goodness!
I was told, "You can add a little more crazy to the lyrics," but I wonder what they would have made me drink if I had asked for it. If I had asked for it, what would they have made me drink? Maybe it wasn't recorded... and I was thrilled from many angles!
For Chihi, I loves the way the singer say the dialogue in the middle of the story, which is a bit throwaway for the content of the story!
In the animation, she gulps down the capsules herself instead of being "made to drink," but I think the larger capsule pills in the hot and humid view are quite plump and cute! The shape of the capsule looks like an insect egg, doesn't it?
The lyricist also researched witch-kid stories, so Chihi tried her best to create a transformation of a beautiful little girl.
The almost-invisible growth is pretty cute, too... but it's no match for the choked-up expression on MISS! GET HOT!
