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

==== dj TAKA ====
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)
 
=== pop'n music ===
==== 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.
 
== Staff Comments ==
=== [[Masaru Nakamura|masaru]] ===
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.
