Let's walk towards our respective futures with precious memories in our hearts. This sweet and sad graduation song is from DDR. | |||

==== NAOKI MAEDA ==== | |||
This is BeForU's first dramatic mid-tempo number. | |||
People repeatedly experience meetings and partings, and live their lives with various overlapping thoughts. If there's a beginning, there's an end. But if there's an end, there's something that begins. | |||
This song, named graduation, is not just about looking back at the past and ending a drama, but also about graduating from something and the future that starts tomorrow. | |||

==== NAOKI MAEDA ==== | |||
There are 4 versions of GRADUATION, and the version used this time in pop'n 12 is the game-sized short version used in DDR. | |||
During the time when I was making this song, it coincided with the time when the main vocalist, Kosaka, graduated from high school.<br> | |||
Her real feelings were seemingly reflected in this song's lyrics. | |||
Several times in life when people repeatedly "graduate", what do they gain and lose? | |||
A "graduation" may be there to guide us to the path we should advance, for the sake of our future. | |||

In this season when cherry blossoms bloom... I'm graduating!<br> | |||
After all, a new world awaits me! | |||
=== Chihi === | |||
She was in a frog color last time, so this time I've selected white for spring.<br> | |||
Her ears look like cute kamaboko, don't they?<br> | |||
Graduation... speaking of graduation, in my case, I didn't really feel sad about the second button. My mood was more like "Yay~! I'm graduating~!", even if there were a lot of people unsure of what to do next. | |||

==== RICE.C ==== | |||
During the movie scene where she's running down a slope, I initially thought of including [[EMI]]'s family-run electronics store on a telephone pole sign, but the idea was rejected with the risk it used another company's name. With the "Shiba" connection, it became "Biker Mikoshiba" (note: pop'n team designer). | |||
I thought about telling him, but forgot to do so, so I vigorously got consent after video production concluded. I'm sorry Mikoshiba. | |||
PS: Congratulations to everyone who graduated this year! | |||

Graduation, that sounds nostalgic. Let's start walking forwards! It makes me feel like this. | |||
==== [[Masaru Nakamura|masaru]] ==== | |||
It's been a long time~ since I graduated from school.<br> | |||
It's nostalgic, or rather it's fading from my memory. | |||
==== [[Ryuta Tamura|tama]] ==== | |||
It's been a long time since I graduated while weighing 60 kilograms.<br> | |||
I'll do my best to enroll again. | |||
==== wac ==== | |||
I wanted to have a graduation ceremony event, and thought about creating an original pop'n song for it, but there was already a signature graduation song in the BEMANI series, so I just crossed it over. At the end when Riyu's voice whispers "I'll never forget", it makes you feel more excited about graduation, but if it were a pop'n original song, I'll definitely assign this as a hidden button. But as I was thinking "I'll do it someday, I'll do it someday", I forgot to do this. So it might be assigned as a hidden button in the [[AC pnm 13|next game]], so please search for Riyu's voice then. But it seems I'll somehow forget again. I'll never forget... to myself. | |||
