Time, humans, life, arrow objects, pop-kuns, they are all flowing... Flow! | |||

When I first listened to the song and was asked what came to my mind, I couldn't think of anything.<br> | |||
However, I felt a vague presence of something... a very big "something". I didn't know if that "something" was God, the universe, nature, or time. | |||
But that "something" was never human. Conversely, humans such as myself are very small entities. When confronted with something that big, we are a small thing that doesn't stand out at all. But isn't that just too lonely!? | |||
That's why I think, "although we are a small and insignificant existence in the 'flow of this world', which consists of large entities such as the universe, nature, and time, we are here in order to feel and witness that large 'flow of this world'. It's possible to do so, and is exactly proof that it exists because we can feel and witness that flow!" | |||
The opponent that confronts us is the flow that we co-exist with, in other words it's "Flow". | |||
==== U1 ==== | |||
The word "Flow" has several meanings and thoughts... | |||
=== pop'n music === | |||
==== U1-ASAMi ==== | |||
<center>No one can see it.<br> | |||
Even though the flow of people, time, the surrounding environment, and myself are being drifted away, I don't know whether it's fast or slow.<br> | |||
But that's the whole point, so the destination is pointless.</center> | |||

No matter how many times I try, I'm having trouble with the same speed changes. When it starts moving, it won't stop. | |||

Flow flow flow | |||
When I hear this, am I the only person who thinks of source code or blueprints? | |||
=== [[Chihiro Inoue|Chippi]] === | |||
U1's body fat seems like that of an athlete. That's amazing~ | |||
=== [[eimy]] === | |||
I think I've heard this song the most during checks. No matter how tired I was after checking for many hours, no matter how many times I listened to this song, I never get tired of it. | |||
=== Seiya Murai === | |||
I never thought I'd work on the same job in this way. U1 is one of my very close colleagues since he joined the company back then.<br> | |||
When I was involved in the pop'n series, there was a period when the division changed and I hadn't seen him in a long time, but as they recently merged, we soon sat near each other once again.<br> | |||
Looking back, I first encountered pop'n when he was testing the first home version of pop'n and playing it at his desk, I asked him "what's that?", and he let me play it.<br> | |||
At that time, I felt like I said "Wow~! I don't feel like I could press nine buttons!!", but could you imagine how something like this happened to me afterwards? (laughs) | |||
=== wac === | |||
My memories of Flow? OK, let's talk about it.<br> | |||
Looking back, I was involved in creating pop'n 15 one year ago.<br> | |||
I soon started to decide which songs to crossover, and I reserved a spot for DDR, thinking that it'd be a song from SuperNOVA.<br> | |||
I then started to decide songs related to the four elements, and I reserved one final song for wind.<br> | |||
I've personally been a secret fan of U1's songs and remixes from the beginning, and I wanted to include U1's song in this DDR spot.<br> | |||
In other words, at that time, in that timing, "Flow" fulfilled all these conditions.<br> | |||
Although things in the world generally occur in a big flow, it's said that the process of including this song in pop'n, exactly aligned with this Flow. | |||
