People repeatedly experience meetings and partings, and I live with these various overlapping thoughts. If there's a beginning, there's an ending. But if there's an ending, there's something that begins.

During the season when I was making this song, it coincided with the time when the main vocalist Kosaka graduated from high school.<br>

In this season when cherry blossoms bloom... I'm graduating!<br>
During the song's movie in the scene of running down a slope, I was initially thinking 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)".
After all, a new world awaits me!


I thought about telling him but forgot, so I vigorously got consent after video production concluded. I'm sorry Mikoshiba.

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.

It's been a long time~ since I graduated from school.<br>
It's nostalgic, or rather it's fading from my memory.

I'll do my best to enroll again.

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.
