This is a mature R&B song with an impactful rhythm. Aren't these kinds of songs great for stretching occasionally?

May 2004. I waited for a legendary person at KONAMI's lobby reception floor in Roppongi Hills. Who was the mysterious person who connected me with that person? Bingo was also with me.<br>
The lobby floor was wide, quiet, and had a great view, and that person soon appeared as I was looking around. It was Togo-chef, a charismatic producer with many of his songs included since the early BEMANI series, who said "hello, I'm Togo" while wearing jeans and an aloha shirt.<br>
This collaboration started from conversations such as "Aki, by all means, I'd like for you to participate in the next 8th..." and "this is your first time participating in game music, but by all means, please appear in it...".<br>
He let me listen to a CD-R and said "this song feels like this, but Aki, please write lyrics for it!". While listening to this song, I thought English lyrics were more perfect for it, so I asked "may I write the lyrics in English?", and he replied "of course it's OK".<br>
"Well, I'll try my best!"<br>
And filming this video was very enjoyable. I spent a half-day filming on location, and there was a friendly atmosphere with Togo-chef and all the KONAMI staff, who were serious and obsessed, while always laughing throughout.<br>
There are various secret filming stories (laughs!), but there's another chance to discuss this, so I hope you'll enjoy the completed "Tell Me More..." in the game and highlights from the video.<br>
Actually, I was really impressed when I saw it played immediately at the Tokyo Game Show. Even so, I was surprised by everyone playing it quickly! I couldn't help but be fascinated by it.<br>
I'm very honored to participate in this historical and famous game. If I have another opportunity like this, by all means, I'd like to try and challenge it.
 
==== Togo-chef ====
During the time when I was thinking about creating this new song for IIDX, I received a sample CD through an acquaintance.<br>
I casually started listening to this CD and heavily felt a Japanese soulful vocal style, and it wasn't long that I received collaboration offers from artist-based companies. Fortunately, Aki Asahina hard the demo of this song and loved it, so a collaboration which exceeds the barriers of the game/music industry has materialized!

I originally created this song for beatmania IIDX, but there hasn't been many kinds of genres like this in the pop'n music series, so it's also simultaneously included in pop'n. Do they have a sibling relationship? I'd be very happy if you can play and compare this song in both beatmania and pop'n!<br>
Well, the original character in pop'n CS, "V.B", is sexy and creepy. She's my favorite character (laughs).

=== Shirane.A.I (Jinko Chino) ===
This was the first movie I created, which is furthermore live-action, and I didn't know how to properly handle the equipment, edit it after filming, and there wasn't someone to discuss about technical issues with, so I completely struggled for 3000 miles in a fog. No no no no, it's not a dream. It's real. Mother, please help me!... Just filming artist videos make me feel tense and apologetic, and I was filled with feelings about it. Looking back now, they were good memories. When I watch this movie, it conveys how I felt during that time, "this is the best I can do now"... I'm grateful to everyone who helped me with filming. I'm also grateful to Aki. I'm grateful to everyone. Many thanks.

This virtual beauty is attracting the public with her trembling singing voice and sexy performance!

The genre is R&B, but it actually started as J-R&B.<br>
So, I consciously drew her as Japanese with black hair.
 
There are many prominent characters in the R&B genre, such as [[Mary]] and tourmaline, so I was careful not to have a similar atmosphere as much as possible.
 
By the way, although this is a rough sketch, various people asked me "is she wearing anything underneath?".
 
 
When you look closely... she's actually wearing a long torso with short legs.<br>
I thought she was secretly cute~ and looked like a dachshund with short legs, but I was frankly asked "aren't her legs short?", so I was tragically defeated.
 
 
There were times like this~.<br>
She somehow doesn't have enough impact! So, it was a time with various trial and error.<br>
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but there was rough graffiti which read "go-go female leopard", and I remember feeling disappointed when I later saw it;

=== [[Aoi Tagami|aonisai]] ===
She's perfect for Asahina! And she's sexy in pop'n! Woman! I admire tam's talented abilities. I want to draw these kinds of thighs soon. (That's unreasonable!)
 
=== [[Yumi Miyashita|Karu]] ===
My heart tugged when she bended over and lifted her legs during her FEVER! WIN animation... For some reason (?), curvy legs have been my weakness since I was a child. She's a lovely woman! I'm spellbound...
 
=== [[Tatsuya Mizuno|ota2]] ===
She's very nice while wearing few clothing parts. (like a fish)
 
=== Gochou ===
Her pouting lips are somewhat coquettish.
 
=== [[Ryosuke Takeuchi|Ta-k]] ===
Perhaps many people thought she was "B.B". Please correctly call her "V.B" from now on. When you see V.B's GREAT animation, you'll also join the ranks of adults.
 
=== [[Eiichi Kitsukawa|Tamagoyaki555(PAPEHINA)]] ===
Come to think of it, perhaps I was taking the To○○○○ Line the previous day. This person. I'm lying.<br>
Perfectly dancing to this rhythm is wonderful.
