A lone moonlight shadow dimly shines down on you tonight. As a fleeting sad guide....

=== Ryu☆ (HHH) ===
It's been a while, poppers.<br>
I'm Ryu☆(HHH) who's in charge of the N chart for HHH×MM×ST.
 
Continuing from [[Follow Tomorrow]] in [[AC Lincle|beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle]], this is already HHH×MM×ST's second song.
 
This time, we inherited the taste of [[Mahoroba]] from [[AC EMPRESS|beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS]], and produced this Japanesque + trance + pop song.
 
We're happy that Oboro is being played with amazing vigor since fantasia was first released.
 
Well anyways, it's fantasia! Play it with your thoughts on a moonlit night!
 
=== Dai. (HHH) ===
It's been a while, poppers.<br>
I'm Dai.(HHH) who's in charge of the EX chart for HHH×MM×ST.
 
Well, HHH finally debuts with a default song.<br>
I'm happy.<br>
They've often been unlockable songs until now, so we're thankful.
 
This time, I was in charge of the lyrics & chart.<br>
The lyrics became a slightly adult-like fantasy, and I hope you can feel the sad atmosphere of "I can't catch up even if I chase you".
 
We also proudly created its charts, so please try and challenge them on all difficulty levels!
 
Well anyways, it's fantasia! Play it with your thoughts on a moonlit night!
 
=== Halka (HHH) ===
It's been a while, poppers.<br>
I'm Halka(HHH) who's in charge of the H chart for HHH×MM×ST.
 
This is the second song of the big family member special!<br>
The FEVER WIN animation is also packed with the five characters.
 
I was able to draw a slightly rough sketch of the character.<br>
And then she became extremely cute, and I kept getting excited!<br>
I immediately chose the rival character moimoi♪
 
Well anyways, it's fantasia! Play it with your thoughts on a moonlit night!
 
=== MM (moimoi/Mayumi Morinaga) ===
It's been a while, poppers.<br>
I'm MM(moimoi/Mayumi Morinaga) who's in charge of the 5 chart for HHH×MM×ST.
 
This time, I was able to challenge this song with a slightly Japanese taste!<br>
So, I consciously sang it with some undulations.<br>
It was my first time participating in pop'n, so when I heard rumors that a character called "moimoi" would appear, I was already surprised! Isn't she very cute?!← I'm jealous<br>
So, please listen to the shining fantasy Oboro, as if you went back in time (*´∀`*)
 
Well anyways, it's fantasia! Play it with your thoughts on a moonlit night!
 
=== ST (StarvingTrancer) N ===
It's been a while, poppers.<br>
I'm ST(StarvingTrancer) who's in charge of the B chart for HHH×MM×ST.
 
As an episode when creating this song, I received some lyrics written by Dai., and I was strongly influenced by the keyword "moon waterfall" that appeared in it.
 
It felt like this song's impression was fully decided from there.
 
My impression of playing the piano phrases, while coming up with a "moon waterfall drifting in the sky" late at night in the studio, remains particularly strong.
 
I'm happy that I created a song with such sad atmosphere.
 
Well anyways, it's fantasia! Play it with your thoughts on a moonlit night!

=== Yuuki ===
Hello, I'm Yuuki.
 
I created this video with the image of moimoi waiting for someone on a beautiful moonlit night.<br>
I'd be happy if you can feel a sad, dreamy atmosphere, as if you can seemingly reach it, but can't.

Untranslated.
moi♪moi♪ and everyone are also shining★ today☆ A lovely world will expand with your singing voices~!
 
=== Chihi ===
moimoi is cute with a big ribbon on her head. She flies away whenever she wants.
 
I received a cute~ illustration from HHH's Halka, so I tried my best to expand her idea from there!
 
Since it's a sequel to [[AC pnm 18|pop'n 18]]'s [[Ignited Night|Dai series]] (?), this time, we also received a character for moimoi, who's famous in IIDX!<br>
She feels fluffy and cute~... I intended for her to be like that, but since I've never met her before, I tried as hard as I could to stare at the IIDX movie, and we stared at each other intently. No, although she was on the movie screen, it felt like we seemed to understand each other deeper beyond that.<br>
Afterwards, when I visited the homepage, I saw a super cute moimoi with a somewhat short-cut, oh~ why didn't I see the latest information?<br>
From the perspective of moimoi's fans, it's even shorter now.
 
But, I like the fluffy bob!<br>
In the end, it wasn't that I didn't know about the latest information, but I purposely chose this hairstyle.
 
Even if they don't look similar, I'm happy that the character feels shiny and cute~♪
 
== Choreography Information ==
=== Dai. ===
This is my second and third time
 
I'm Dai., who appears here once again.<br>
Nice to meet you all.
 
I was most surprised to actually be dancing in Oboro myself.<br>
Compared to Follow Tomorrow and [[Daisuke]], the choreography is quite gentle yet somewhat detailed, so it'd be great if you can be fully immersed in this singing world and express yourself!
 
Well anyways, this is my third song! Play it with your thoughts on a moonlit night!
 
== Staff Comments ==
=== [[Daichi Watanabe|PON]] ===
I requested for this song within a short time during the final production stage.<br>
... As an apology, I'll now polish your glasses to make them shine.<br>
However, as the genre name suggests, it's fascinating.<br>
Everyone was completely fascinated by it, and the song selection rate was super high.
 
Ryu☆'s [[Rainbow Rainbow|release party]] ended in a great success, but back when the leader [[Jun Wakita|wac]]'s [[Ongaku (album)|album]] production was nearly finished, there was a time when I wondered if I was burned out, but it wasn't that at all, rather, I was so motivated that I bought replacement glasses.<br>
OK, I'll now polish your glasses to make them shine.
 
=== [[Masaru Nakamura|masaru]] ===
Fascination... I think it's an amazing word. That's the song's genre name, right?
 
=== [[Shinjiro Otsu|Otsu]] ===
This is the most popular and selected song.<br>
Can the unlockable songs that appear take revenge in the future!?
 
=== [[eimy]] ===
Among the various genres, for some reason, these kinds of songs make my blood boil. Even if I'm very sleepy, I'll groove to the rhythm. I want to sing this song at karaoke.
 
=== [[Yuki Shibata|Mameshiba]] ===
When you listen to this song at least once, the melody and singing voice remains. It's truly FASCINATION!<br>
"moimoi" is Finnish for "goodbye", but I'll say "moi! Moi! (Hello! Hello!)", and I hope moimoi will try her best in the future.
 
=== [[Ryo Sugawara|Ga~su~]] ===
When you get a FEVER, she turns into a beautiful butterfly and flies away (I'm lying)
 
=== [[Tomoko Shiono|shio]] ===
Make moimoi feel Japanesque, cyber, and cute... even though I carelessly ordered this with my fried brain during the final stage of production, Chihi is great for drawing such a smooth~, cute outfit☆ Thank you☆
 
I was also able to participate in Ryu☆'s release party the other day.<br>
Everyone on stage and in the audience was great. It was fun☆<br>
Actually, this was the first time I saw moimoi☆, who was very cute and made me excited. That's a secret☆<br>
It felt like everyone around Ryu☆ was☆ always☆ shining☆.<br>
Hmm~, I'm completely fascinated. Huh, this is moimoi's butterfly dust...★☆★☆
 
=== [[Ryuta Tamura|TAMA]] ===
This song was first shown in a U-STREAM broadcast.<br>
wac,PON,[[Osamu Migitera|Des-ROW]],[[Yasuhiro Taguchi|TAG]] had a luxurious online battle to it.
 
=== wac ===
This song was also created during the final stage of development. I'm sure the final data was added on the day of uploading the sound.<br>
Nevertheless, it wasn't an anchor. pop'n fantasia is scary. No, I'm scary.<br>
His previous [[Nataradin(Raja Maharaja mix)|TABLA'N BASS REMIX]] was personally a big hit, so this time, I hoped he'd use his full potential and asked him "you can selfishly make whatever you like as long as it's fantasy", and it became Japanesque before I knew it. Well, since it's Oboro, it's probably a whimsical Japanese fantasy.<br>
This is a luxurious and gorgeous song with a new member lineup, whose performance at Ryu☆'s album release party in ETA the day before yesterday, remained in my mind.<br>
It'd be great if the spirit and love of StarvingTrancer, whose silver hair matches this character, was conveyed to poppers at the venue. I probably wouldn't have known if he didn't tell me this.
