This song is a crossover from jubeat. The guitar is quite the leading part in this song, so it's perfect for the Gitadora series!
That's what I think.
The main riff is a phrase which heavily uses harmonics.
In the pre-chorus part, note #11 is used in the melody to show a mysterious drifting feeling.
This is personally my favorite part, and I wonder if it somehow sounds UFO-ish (unidentified flying object).

It's a fast-paced and cheerful song, and the composition is simple, so please try to copy it with your powerful skills.

Jacket Design Information

Kon-chan

I was requested to please make it feel like a flying saucer or UFO.
At first, I tried to make a messy UFO appear, but I was asked to make it thick, so a thick UFO appeared (laughs).

Chart Production Information

Massuru

Even when I'm taking a break from work, I won't stop playing recommended songs.
Similar to Russian Snowy Dance, this song was also included in the location test.
I was in charge of 96 songs since GIGA BREAK, which had a very difficult impression in the previous game, and I remember feeling very confused about how difficult it should be while making its notecharts.
The drums and guitar are cool, and I want to play the drums!! And I thought about it during that time, but I eventually created them with the feeling of strumming the guitar.
There are traces of me wanting to play the drums in several places, right?
The chart movements are arranged more like drums than the guitar... but personally...

It somehow feels messy.
