Lyrics

French

Par la fenêtre de ta Fiat 500
tu me regardais et je t'ai vu
tes goûts semblaient parfait

On s'est compris tout de suite à fond
et des rendez-vous de la nuit
parfois on s'attend sous la pluie
et tout, c'était miracle

La musique !
les yeux dans les yeux
nos histoires romantiques
on commence tous les deux

près de moi...

English

By the window of your Fiat 500
You looked at me and I saw you
Your taste seemed perfect

We understood each other right away
More than one rendez-vous at night
Sometimes we hear each other in the rain
And everything, was a miracle

The music!
Our eyes in a gaze
Our romantic stories
That we both start

close to me...

Song Production Information

TOMOSUKE

I like girls (laughs), so I tend to write songs which girls seem to like.
For this song, I tried to accumulate the piano line in the intro, quality vocals, bossa-like rhythm and acoustic guitar, and French items that girls would like.
It's so moody, isn't it!
"Mobo★Moga" is an abbreviation of "Modern Boy・Modern Girl", but this song title is directly taken from a delicious restaurant in Shibuya called Mobo Moga that I used to visit.

CS Information Data

DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME CS (North America)

"MOBO MOGA" by Orange Lounge is an enjoyable blend of bossa-styled sounds and vocals with drum'n'bass land lounge. "MOBO MOGA" is very fun to dance to and has timeless appeal with its very catchy melodies.

Character Information

These twins are 19 years old and type B. Tart (blonde hair) is a patissier, and Toffee (brown hair) is studying to become a web designer.

shiro

These characters are from a certain beatmania IIDX 5thstyle song. The animation is also based on the IIDX original.
These characters have also appeared in a certain Gitadora game, and before I knew it, they were on four different games including IIDX. Wow.
Best regards to the Orange Lounge festival, and please enjoy the other games.

Video Production Information

shiro

It was a very cute song, so I made a video using twin girls with a theme of a "POP LIFE-like playing house" (because the two things that are symmetrical is a cute image).
...However, during the latter half of production, I realized that the title meant "Modern Boy & Girl".... disappointing.
