Here's Wall Street down-sizer's comments<br>
"This is Wall Street in New York. I became powerful in this city, where I was bullied as a small fly. All the guys who bullied me when I was a small fly are currently my employees.<br>
I'll make them realize from now what kinds of mistakes they made... yes, it's revenge!"<br>
!!<br>
What kind of tragedy is this...!?
 
Well-known in the GFDM series, the Kansai-American Thomas has a chat, no, he comically wrote & sang these lyrics.<br>
Look forward to listening to this song to know what kind of tragedy(?) this is.<br>
A hint is that a down-sizer is someone who lays off workers... <small>how scary.</small>

Mokky, if you're looking at this page under a distant sky, it's currently not too late, so please send us your replacement comments.<br>
This song was also well received by the pop'n staff, and we immediately decided to include it.<br>
Actually, the song selection loop in the pop'n 8 location test was created by borrowing this song's riffs. Hip hip hooray.<br>
The craftsman ucchie created these notecharts by hand. Personally, this is the most enjoyable chart in pop'n 8, including my own charts.<br>
(My second favorite chart is [[JET WORLD|jet world]], which was somehow also created by ucchie, damn it)<br>
When you're about to face recession or be laid off, let's play this song before starting karate.

Although it's a conga instrument, he's intelligent. His eyes are scary and gentle.

Due to the overlapping changes in various specifications, circumstances, and included songs, this is the 2nd Sir Conga. I'm sorry to everyone on the MAMBO team for creating a strange 2P color. And it's nothing, but his body lines look like an enoki mushroom jar. → [https://web.archive.org/web/20150507150644im_/http://www.konami.jp/bemani/popn/music8/music/img/cha_funk.gif]
 
The cactus leader and 2 gunmen appeared here together.<br>
I'd be happy if the animations' performance suits this song's cool and playful feeling.
