Lyrics

Japanese

「I just came to say hello」


二人は水の中
のぞき込むリアリズム
青く澄んで重なる
レイヤーの思い出きらめく


ああループする感覚が
眠れないよ
音もなく長い夜 続く


忘れないから まばたきの
裏側にいる 君を照らす
夢と現実が すれ違う
ここからはきっとまぼろしで
誰にも見えない光の部屋
君がいる気がしてた
君といる気がしてた

Romaji

"I just came to say hello"

futari wa mizu no naka
nozokikomu REALISM
aoku sun de kasanaru
LAYER no omoide kirameku

aa LOOP suru kankaku ga
nemurenai yo
otomonaku nagaiyoru tsuzuku

wasurenai kara mabataki no
uragawa ni iru kimi wo terasu
yume to genjitsu ga surechigau
koko kara wa kitto maboroshi de
darenimo mienai hikari no heya
kimi ga iru ki ga shiteta
kimi to iru ki ga shiteta

Song Production Information

MAKINO

I'm MAKINO! This is the first time I attempted a solo song!

There's a high degree of freedom that can only be done solo, and the tension also finished with a high arrangement!

By all means, please play and feel another side of MAKINO, different from the MAKINO of Pink Turbo!

Please look forward to the UPPER POP "HOW LOW"♪

Character Information

It's fun to gain more and more friends through music, as miho is also invested in the band during the holidays and after school.
She received advice about love from her friend and inserted it in the lyrics, but will they still enjoy the music?

eimy

When I had the idea to create a high school girl character, ΣHuh!
I love her uniform! I wanted to do it and raised my hand. I also did mi-chan, but she was the opposite type, so it became fun again!
I can't help but enjoy the band lifestyle with a fashionable setting, so I tried to also include nails, makeup, and cheeks. Is this too much for a pop'n character? My heart was pounding from the small reaction since I added a lot, but it was alright. I love high school girls with no makeup attached, but I also love high school girls doing their best with rough eyelashes and blush.

MAKINO's voice is also energetic and cute as ever, so I grinned after seeing the animations move together with the song. It's one of my favorite songs!

Staff Comments

tokky

The cute voice and miho's cute animations make me feel very excited.
I can't get enough of her movements~!

Ga~su~

She seems to be a short and lively girl, right?
Her energetic singing voice also energizes me!

masaru

eimy says she added too much, but this character is really cute, isn't she?
After listening to this song, it seems many people want to join a band!

Mameshiba

Seeing the beginning and ending "dededede dededede", I initially thought "I can't seem to pass this", but actually playing this song, I can surprisingly pass it.
My brain fears pop'n!
It seems exciting to play live, right~?
miho seems to perform at school festivals in her uniform.

chihi

miho is energetic and cute while wearing fluffy shorts♪
I guess she's popular in her class~
If I was once again a student, I think everyone would immediately be in a band.

shio

MAKINO's piercing-like vocals in the preview audio is very impressive. It sounds really nice live~. While playing it, the rhythms naturally contain a vertical groove.

The band's also good~. If it's reborn, I want to be in it.
miho is boyish, but her makeup is perfect for girls, which is exquisite and lovely. As expected of eimy, she understands the feelings of high school girls. I guess it's natural now to be this fashionable~.
I want to try and escape from the teacher at the school festival, and perform a guerilla live! Yes, it's adolescence.

wac

Hello hello. I'm wac.
I'm not particularly involved in this song, but well, it provides a sense of hello.
MAKINO and I are both from the grunge generation, so we're playing music through Kurt's spirit. I'm sorry I recklessly said this.
Anyways, it's an edgy rock tune with a different direction from Pink Turbo.
It's cool that MAKINO's open door in this song is a bit more sharper than usual.

PON

After all, it's a music game where I recently think "repetition" is what makes it fun.
And from repetition, there's some variation. This is it!

That's why I reproduced the nice riff of the music in this game, which makes it fun to repeat.
This is certainly an UPPER song.
