Whoops! You Got A Game オーバー!
THIS FUCKING SONG. OH MY GOD. I NEED TO GUSH.
Imagine this. Night of June 4th, 2024, or morning of June 5th depending on timezones. All of Pop'n Party (the Discord I use for Pop'n) is nervously anticipating the next UniLab song reveal. We all want it to be one of our favorites in some way, but most of all we just want a NEW song. Last week was REFLEXES MANIPULATION from the Lively Gitadora pack, and the week before was TYPHON from OVER 200, and the week before THAT was UPPER charts for licenses. Our desperation was at a breaking point. So we're using reverse psychology to manifest it. One of us tries to manifest Nia because it's Lapistoria's 10th anniversary this month and it'd be so fitting and Toa already got a song last year.
10PM CST hits. IT'S FUCKING NIA. The energy went through the goddamn roof, mostly because of me (who was physically shaking for about 20 minutes over it). Amazing night.
The song is by PON using his DJ KOMACHI alias and utilizes the original Hatsune Miku for the vocals. It's a departure from Des-Row and the singer Nia's had since Mynarco, which is sad because I miss Des-Row, but it's a beautiful song in its own right. I'm glad it was PON over anyone else.
With thanks and apologies to KK for transcribing and translating the lyrics by ear (may change them a bit to make them singable but for now it's the original text). Apologies because I did not get your permission beforehand but please understand this song has me in a death grip.
雷鳴から蝉時雨
草に伝う雨の跡
厚い雲が晴れていく
まだ火照る僕を残して
何も言わなくていいんだよ
後悔なんてしないいんだよ
だけど知ってるんだ
同じ君に会えないこと
夢に見たよ
今日までどこにいたの
僕らは嬉しそうにさ
とても楽しそうにさ
笑っていた
笑っていた
After the thunderstorms come the buzz of cicadas
The rain's presence is left behind on the grass
The dense clouds clear away
Leaving me burning up
You don't have to say a word
I don't have any regrets
But I know
That I'll never see you again
I've seen you in my dreams
Where have you been all this time?
We seemed so happy
Because we were so happy
Always smiling
Always smiling
Aside from Nia being my absolute favorite Pop'n character, I also win with this one because Rinka got a song in UniLab too (if you wanna split hairs it was a Kaimei OST song but Shut Up) and I ship the two so it's a win because they can kiss in the lab now. Like Lovechem. Yeah.
