When I first got the demo, I thought, "This is a really subtly strange song", but the more I listened to it, the more it grew on me, and in the end I wanted to listen to it all the time.

It's kind of repetitive and minimalist, but the anxiety in the melody line is just really great!! They said "we don't mind if you end up doing the arrangement, Haya-P", so I put in some raw guitar and shifted the rhythms around and was able to generally do whatever I wanted.

This song never actually changes speeds, but in the game it goes into 2x, and later 4x speed increases. This has its pros and cons, but maybe you can think of it as an experiment that's the antithesis of the recent HI-SPEED boom?  Is there really that sort of spirit in it!? *g*

This is a comparatively long song (the longest we've had so far), but the song ends with the lyrics saying "it's short" ... I got to work on a song that's a miracle, in many ways. I hope you can forget about all your worries and just have fun with this song.

Miss Akemi Koyama (herein referred to as Akemi) was originally designed for use in [[Monogatari tachi ~stories~|DRAMATIC]] in [[CS pnm 6|6]], but we used her for the song sung by Hitomi Horikawa of miu∽myu.

It seems that she was in a theatre group in school, but is now working as an office lady. It's a side of Akemi that even I didn't know.

Her name comes from when I made a print out of a picture and stuck it on a wall. Before I knew it, someone had written "Akemi Koyama" on it, so I went with that.

Later, an OL friend of mine mentioned that she plays pop'n every day after work, but she couldn't clear [[Touch|TOUCH]] HYPER. When I heard that, I made pop'n one of Akemi's hobbies.
