Since SHION is a snowwoman, let's go with a mermaid next!<br> | |||
And it feels like Yoshi-kun firmly decided on it.<br> | |||
Yoshi-kun was busy, so I was very worried since the character was created first, but I was glad to receive a cool song!<br> | |||
I also created detailed animations for her.<br> | |||
Her design resembled the story of The Little Mermaid, so I tried to express her fixed gaze from the sadness and frustration of not being able to talk to a close person she loves.<br> | |||
Unfortunately, she's a fish, and a different species...<br> | |||
She's not just lovely, I wanted her to be slightly creepy, so people wouldn't relate to her.<br> | |||
I had a stronger impression of "The Red Candle and the Mermaid", which I read when I was a child, than the Little Mermaid, so mermaid's somehow have a scary image. They feel very beautiful, pure, and cruel. | |||
But, when I thought about the story of the Little Mermaid once again, the story isn't really satisfying. Andersen is heartless.<br> | |||
Did something very bad happen to him back then? | |||

And, that's what it feels like.<br> | |||
In those times, there were perhaps comments like this, too. | |||

This contains the first audio comment! | |||

The spinning background noise sounds like a whirlpool or splashes, and sounds cool!<br> | |||
An image of swimming in rapids comes to my mind. | |||

The high speed feeling is impressive!<br> | |||
The guitar at the end is especially cool! Everyone, please love it as well. | |||

I'm impressed that shio worked very hard...<br> | |||
It feels like there weren't many young female characters who were fully wholehearted~<br> | |||
From the moment you start walking, you'll be moved by various flashback scenes! | |||
=== TAMA === | === [[Ryuta Tamura|TAMA]] === | ||
This is a gentle, steady, cool, and sad song.<br> | |||
I'm also looking forward to his next upper song. | |||

Yoshi-kun seems to be the most busy man in the BEMANI world now.<br> | |||
It was very difficult for him in many ways, but in the end, he created a nice song, with a splash of water.<br> | |||
I wasn't going to repay him, but I didn't create a song for [[AC RB limelight|limelight]].<br> | |||
Well, sorry!!! | |||
=== [[Yuki Shibata|Mameshiba]] === | |||
This is the [[Mermaid girl|second]] mermaid song.<br> | |||
It feels like KIRARA is a bright idol mermaid, but MANA feels like she has a slight shadow. But, she's nice.<br> | |||
I like the end of the chorus.<br> | |||
Let's all feel excited! | |||
