A seed which came from a different dimension. It enters a body and starts to emit light, create undulating beats from a heartbeat, then freely releases energy in various forms. I created this choreography with such image.
 
When I first listened to this song, I was flustered by the high-speed beat, but I captured "FLOWER"'s power and elegance, and gave it a shape.
 
It's a particularly pleasurable feeling when you can match each location! By all means, please experience it☆

DJ YOSHITAKA unreasonably asked me to "draw a jacket design which contains the spirit of a single story", so I thought about the story in detail and selfishly completed it on my own. I'll leave its contents up to your imagination.<br>
I'm sincerely grateful to REFLEC BEAT designer [[Takao Yamamoto|amamon]] for giving me his sense of explosive advice.

Yoshi-kun says "songs with flowers in the title are hits"<br>
I see~<br>
※His tone here is a bit delusional.

Congratulations for dominating 8 BEMANI game series, along with NADESHIKO ROCK / [[Rin to shite saku hana no gotoku]].

PON, I was confused about what to do with the "deyu------un" part in the middle of this song.<br>
pop'n doesn't have charge notes and I couldn't draw spirals, so as a result, I created scale note patterns. It's difficult.
 
==== [[Chihiro Inoue|Chihi]] ====
Continuing from [[RASIS]], knit was also included in the FLOWER illustration!<br>
I'm happy that the black 3P color, FLOWER's jacket, and looking down animations fit well together.<br>
The flow builds up towards the climax in the song's beginning, and you'll get a nosebleed, right?<br>
It seems like Yoshi-kun, isn't this enough~! There are also brilliant highlights, and I can convey these feelings for players to enjoy.<br>
It's only a few minutes! This song's power is impressive, as expected!
 
==== [[eimy]] ====
To put it simply, you can't imagine a title like "FLOWER" for this kind of song, right~? It's cool!<br>
The jacket has a great impact, and I love knit's illustration in pop'n.
 
==== [[tokky]] ====
I wonder why my chest tightens a lot when listening to this song?
 
==== [[Tomoko Shiono|shio]] ====
You want to unconsciously make a parody of FLOWER's jacket, right? I also love it. If you want to know why there are grapes on knit's head, please play jubeat or REFLEC, and check out the large illustration.<br>
Yoshi-kun's home game series is a serious DJ-like instrumental series. You've heard them again, and it's frustrating to hear these compliments, but it's definitely cool! It's packed with delicious parts such as the beautiful piano playing the melancholic melody as its key point. As expected of the exciting captain.
 
I previously wrote this on my blog, but to those who mainly play other game series and experienced "Yoshi-kun's works in pop'n" for the first time to unlock this song, what do you think of [[Honoo no Kinnikuman|Yoshikunman]] and [[Odoru Fever Robo|Fever Robo]]? It's exciting.<br>
I just hope you'll experience brand-new attractions and become addicted to pop'n.<br>
Missile launch~!


When I listened the song for the first time, I jumped into a high-speed beat, and since it was "FLOWER", I caught its power and elegance and gave it a shape.

Every musician has created music with the theme of "flowers".<br>
I remember that before starting my current job, I composed a song exactly titled "Flower".<br>
I like all these songs continuing from Yoshi-kun's HARD RENAISSANCE series, but I personally felt that this song completed it, or took it one step further.<br>
It's my favorite song since I first heard it.


The feeling when you full combo this song is especially pleasant! I want you to feel it by all means☆
It's now doing well in each garden, and it seems to be individually blooming, as long as it's prosperous.<br>
Yoshi-kun is blooming.
 
Using the example of "gyaon" in the middle section, now is the time to revive "Keep pop-kun"! I thought of it, but I couldn't just introduce them for this song, so it looks more like an image of flowers spinning in a large rotation than jubeat.
 
Let's use [https://web.archive.org/web/20160215233502/http://www.konami.jp/bemani/popn/gs/2/pm2_cha.html FLOWER] as the character! I put all my effort in this joke, but we eventually settled on black knit.<br>
Black knit looks nice. A baker's wife also said that females look beautiful in black.
