Melancholic Eurobeat appears in pop'n! What did you see past your tears? | |||

This song was created for pop'n music13 Carnival.<br> | |||
I wondered what kind of comment I wrote for pop'n13, so when I looked at it in the [https://web.archive.org/web/20150507111349fw_/http://www.konami.jp/bemani/popn/music13/m_and_c/05/05_04.html official website], I somehow saw wac's comment in the very last line, "please include a movie for it when it's crossed over to IIDX.", and is that so? | |||
What, I didn't know about this at all... you could've directly told me!<br> | |||
I could've included a completely recreated movie to conclude wac's melancholic story, along with his ParaPara dance (T-T) | |||
So, if you're interested in wac's melancholic story, please check out pop'n music13 Carnival's official website.<br> | |||
I can't read it without crying (T-T) | |||

==== dj TAKA ==== | |||
Due to my convenient schedule, I always create songs at the very end of pop'n's final production stage.<br> | |||
Well, this time, what should I make? I was nervous about what kinds of unreasonable requests I'd receive for Carnival, and since there were enough songs with that theme, I was asked to make something completely unrelated. | |||
Yes wac, I understand. During the final production stage, there are too many songs following the theme, and conversely, they'd want songs which have nothing to do with that theme.<br> | |||
Alright~, I fully understand how wac feels. Since wac's back was so melancholic that it brought out a sad atmosphere like "even though it's in the final production stage, it isn't finished at all, and I don't have time to somehow think about your song", this time, I created melancholic Euro in dedication to wac. | |||
Firstly, I started by changing my computer's desktop background from my cute dog Rai, to wac's melancholic back.<br> | |||
I completed the intro from here.<br> | |||
Next, after drinking too much, I went near the toilet at ○○○○○○gaseki Station, where wac went "OTL", to try and get inspiration.<br> | |||
I completed the first verse from here.<br> | |||
Furthermore, I tried to synchronize this song with the image of shaking hands with the elementary school student who hit a big home run at the elementary school next to wac's rented room, and brilliantly [[Peppermint wa watashi no teki|broke the glass window]] in wac's room.<br> | |||
I completed the pre-chorus from there.<br> | |||
Finally, I intended to return to Shinjuku from Shimokitazawa, but I missed the train and tried dipping in Hakone-Yumoto's hot springs.<br> | |||
And then I completed the chorus from there. | |||
This is how "moon" was born. | |||

YUKI is now a teenage fashion leader!<br> | |||
She seems more and more beautiful. | |||
=== CHIHI === | |||
Her original NEUTRAL animation was very cute, so I started a brand-new idol life for her based on that.<br> | |||
The key point is that there's now a background with a YUKI set in the studio.<br> | |||
I thought about including idol-like choreography in her animations, but since [[Mary]] had them at the same time, it was difficult for me, as someone who can't do idol choreography, or a dancer's dance.<br> | |||
I wonder~ if I was able to bring out a similar atmosphere to the original YUKI, like her competitive MISS animation. | |||

I was curious about this song the most when I heard its preview.<br> | |||
If you haven't played it yet, please hear its preview!! You'll definitely want to play it. | |||
=== [[eimy]] === | |||
Are you going with melancholic? When I briefly thought about it, melancholic definitely suits this song.<br> | |||
As masaru said, this might be the number you're more curious about after hearing its preview. I also tried doing this first. | |||
=== [[Takao Yamamoto|amamon.]] === | |||
This fully melancholic Euro song unconsciously makes you want to reach the peak! Please support melancholic. | |||
=== [[Shinichiro Yamanaka|Daniel]] === | |||
Melancholic.... melancholic.... it's hopeless~. I painfully get it now.<br> | |||
When you're in love, you wonder~ if it's someone you like.<br> | |||
I'd do it if I could, but it's difficult and there's many sad things~.<br> | |||
This time, it's a bit heavy~. | |||
Eurobeat loves those kinds of feelings... it moved me too much, that I seemed to wet my pillow.<br> | |||
It's truly a masterpiece. Those struggling with love should definitely listen to this song. | |||
=== [[Kiyoshi Murai|Seiya Murai]] === | |||
The "melancholic" sound has a very strong impact, and I certainly didn't know that it's title was "MOON"... I just noticed it. | |||
=== wac === | |||
Is it melancholic? Melancholic's good. Huh, are you seriously going with the genre name melancholic? TAKA's Euro song caused a controversy.<br> | |||
Well, speaking of djTAKA, I'm sorry for including myself, but we were in the same cohort during our vocational school days. From back then, I thought he was the kind of guy to feel melancholy on his back, but rather, it was probably my back. That's amazing. Please take care of melancholic.<br> | |||
Oh, about the song. So, when I listened to this melancholic Euro that was created for me, my melancholic life flashed before my eyes, and I wept in the wind. MOON.<br> | |||
Please include a movie for it when it's crossed over to IIDX. | |||
