That famous song from KEYBOARDMANIA is somehow in pop'n!? It's cool and attractive!

It's fiiiiiinaaaaalllly in IIDX! Hi, I'm Seiya Murai, the "Seiya" of Kiyommy+Seiya. This song, Pink Rose, made its debut in KEYBOARDMANIA 3rdMIX, then went from pop'n to DDR to IIDX. It's been five years since its 2000 debut, but I hope you can love it all the same. It'd be nice if I could make another song for IIDX next time, like a business card exchange♪
This song fi~na~lly~ makes its first appearance in the IIDX series!! Hello, I'm Seiya Murai, a.k.a. Seiya of Kiyommy+Seiya.<br>
Pink Rose first appeared in KEYBOARDMANIA 3rdMix, and has since been included in other game series in chronological order from pop'n DDR IIDX.<br>
It has already been 5 years since this song appeared in 2000, but I'd be very happy if you still love it now.<br>
It'd be great if I can use this song as a business card and participate in the IIDX series [[AC DistorteD|next time]] with a [[Leaving...|new song]]~♪

Following "[[Mighty Guy]]" and "[[Massara]]", this J-pop song series replaces greetings every time. This time, I'm serving as the main sound director of "KEYBOARDMANIA 3rd MIX", so I put my heart and soul into it with the feeling of carrying a billboard. The lyrics were written by the familiar Kiyomi Kumano. Can you believe this same person sings "Massara"? (laughs)

Five years pass, and it makes it into IIDX. KEYBOARDMANIA movies were at a 4:3 aspect ratio, so I had to do some tuning to get it into IIDX. The expansion was pretty straightforward overall, and I was able to add bits of image and speed lines to add to the impression of motion. By the way, if you miss a note, the video gets all noisy, like you're taking damage.

This song appeared in the IIDX series after 5 years.<br>
The video was displayed full-screen in the KEYBOARDMANIA series at 4:3, so I tuned it for the IIDX version.<br>
Its overall development was slow, so I tried to increase its speedy feeling by inserting footage everywhere to appear balanced.<br>
By the way, when you miss a note, you can see noisy damage effects on the screen.

On a certain day in December 2000. The date of a certain project's deadline.<br>
[[Yuji Takahashi|YUZ]] went straight to my seat and said "this is a cool song, so try and listen to it", and I replied back to him.<br>
HES "Wow, it's hot! Isn't it very cool?"<br>
YUZ "Yes, please take care of this song"<br>
HES "Huh. Huh!?"<br>
YUZ "It'd be great if you can quickly make something cool which looks like [[AC PPP|PPP]]"<br>
HES "Roger. I'll try my best" The fight still continues...<br>
So with that spirit, I got help making this movie.
 
When I first heard this song, the vocals weren't included yet, but an image of a certain famous robot anime sequel came to my mind.<br>
[[Noriyuki Niiyama|NEW-3]] said "this image has a real robot appearing..."<br>
I encouraged him? I made it while fully exposing his hobby.<br>
This movie is perhaps quite unusual in the KBM series.<br>
The song's image is different for each person, but it's also rare for myself, NEW-3, and the other designers to start agreeing that it's "real robot-styled".<br>
He just simply likes talking about robots...<br>
I hope some story comes to your mind while watching this video.
 
I'd like to really thank all the KBM team for giving me the chance to create this movie.

This song was very popular in KEYBOARD MANIA3. I can't believe it's included in DDR! This song only has this movie! I asked HES to provide the data, who was "Pink Rose"'s movie creator in the KEYBOARD MANIA3 version.
I had trouble choosing one animation from its famous movie scenes. There are many highlights, so please try to look for them! The robot loving team members also liked this satisfying video.
