Whoops! All Realize Maze!

Rinka's first song, brought to you by movies! This is a group consisting of Xceon composing, Dai. writing the lyrics and helping with programming, and Moimoi on vocals! This beautiful song is more poppy compared to her Sunny Park song (華恋ロック - 恋閃繚乱 (Rensen Ryouran/Love Profusion)), showing her resolve through its powerful lyrics! This song is one of the few in Lapistoria to have a genre thanks to being ported to IIDX; related to its lyrics, the genre of this one is SOLITUDE.

This song has a long version!

SONG COMMENTS

	ENGLISH
Dai.	So it's been a while since you all have seen me in Pop'n. I'm Dai., and I've been wearing motion capture suits lately. You can all call me "Big Brother".
	Now then, "Realize Maze" was created as a companion piece to "Follow Tomorrow" from beatmania IIDX, which marked HHHxMMxST's first appearance. While "Follow Tomorrow" is a song about seizing tomorrow with a positive outlook, "Realize Maze" is about living stoically through today. The difference between them is night and day.
	The lyrics are also full of suuuuuper relevant keywords. Can you find them all?
	That aside, it really has been a while! Now, go forth and Realize Maze!

Mayumi Morinaga	Hello! I'm Mayumi, also known as moimoi. My first impression of this song was of the main character running through all kinds of places. She keeps running through the city, nature, and even space. You often see scenes like that in anime endings, and that's what it felt like to me! ^^
	I'm happy to have teamed up with the team from "Follow Tomorrow" again. Please play it!
	That aside, it really has been a while! Now, go forth and Realize Maze!

	ENGLISH
Xceon	So it's been a while since you all have seen me in Pop'n. This is Xceon, who even the chain izakayas nearby have been serving large portions to.
	This time, I was inspired by keywords like light and shadow, day and night, and stoic. Without even knowing how to pronounce Realize Maze, I tried to create a song that invoked a sense of stoicism. Dai.-chan... is it really okay to mix this all together?
	That aside, it really has been a while! Now, go forth and Realize Maze!

CHARACTER COMMENTS

"A girl who loves flowers. She works hard every day to make Lapistoria bloom with flowers!"

	ENGLISH
Chihi	Within the Tsugidoka crew, Rinka's the one in charge of cuteness. The last time she appeared, she didn't have a clear theme color, so we decided on pink this time. Since the other three have quite sleek looks, we decided that Rinka should have a bunch of cute frills so that the four together can cover every aspect of character style.
	Rinka's a really memorable character for me. When it was decided that Lapistoria's artstyle would be a drastic change from before, I was just beginning to create her animations, so there was a lot of back-and-forth between how the new illustrations would look and how simplified the animations would be in comparison.
	I always want to show the best parts of each character in the animations I make, and with Rinka I emphasized how she's cute and energetic, like how she's everyone's little sister, and that she works as hard as she can once her heart is set on something. In Lapistoria, she has friends that notice that hardworking nature, and that's become one of her most charming features.
	When it was decided that the Tsugidoka girls would be returning, their hairstyles were changed as well! Since she's wearing a summery outfit, her hair is up to keep her cool, but styled in a way that suits her well.
	Rinka would look the same as before if she just kept the side braids, so I was torn between giving her hair buns up until the last minute. I decided on twintails, though, because I wanted them to flutter in the wind when she performed her signature move. As for the boys... it was hard to change their hairstyles, so they were left as is.

Aside from Manjushage, her other song in Lapistoria, Rinka's gotten a few new songs since this one! In Peace, she and Hiumi teamed up to get new animations and the song 六花美人 (Rikka Bijin), a beautiful Totto and Qrispy collab with Moimoi and spiLa on the vocals! In Lively, Everlasting Last from IIDX (the proper sequel to Follow Tomorrow) was included in a pack with Rinka at the helm (SP 1P), which was ported to arcades in Kaimei. And in UniLab, her Lapistoria animations would be blessed with another Xceon song with Kanae Asaba called 謎情の雫 (Droplets of Mystery)! That last song was actually introduced in the Kaimei OST, but shhhh.
