Music Production Info

Today's Japan is full of stories of adults who tell lies every day, but get bent out of shape if a youngster lies even on this special day. I hope I can live to see a Japan where even an 18 year old, no, even a 12 year old wouldn't get caught if they lied every day.

Character Info

There are many calls for this young number one comedy duo, whose secret weapon is their unique fighting style.
This little girl seems so grown up when she dances and sings "April Fool's Song", doesn't she?
Character design: shio
Animation: Production I.G.

Anyway, I guess it's 'coz this song is such super high-tension rock and roll.
Anyway, April first is for fools,
Anyway, there was ever-practical Naoko-chama in a flower field, and
Anyway, summer was about hippos in school swimsuits.
Anyway, I was looking for a constant, rigidly moving image,
Anyway, I was able to find a really great motion here.
Anyway, doing the retouch was super fun.
Anyway, the way these two look at each other is great.

Anyway, spring pollen always gets me all sniffy, and my head gets all stuffy ...

Hmm ... since it didn't get called "Tomato", I guess I won't be able to play Cyber Neopolitan.

Aaaah, the hippo's movement is so great! The image of the song and the image of the characters just came together perfectly. Hippo~

There haven't been a lot of people who did April Fool's around me these days, so it's great to be able to use this now. It'll be really embarassing if you don't play right during the chorus, so be careful.

I always wanted to have a really good April Fool's, but what really makes an April fool an April fool? Is it really something that new? is what I wondered about an April Fool song. A fool is a fool, I'd always worry while giggling nervously, so I made a wish to this fine April fool. What happened then, I don't really know, but anyway, it's just like AKIRA YAMAOKA to bring us such a cool and funny April Fool's offering.
That's all.
