Weiss' song, composed by onoken with vocals by 彩羅 (Saira) and guitar by Sassy! A very passionate rock piece with electronic tones- and unneccesary soflan in all its charts! You can't skip the soflan!
差し込む光の先は自由の国なのか?
この小さな光探し求める
幾千もの命を護れ!
かすかな物音にさあ
耳を研ぎ澄まし
今全身全霊をかけて
夜明けが来るまでに
出口を見つけないと
・・・コンナオモイ、ボクダケデイイ・・・
君のココロ奪われる前に
君のカタチ失われてしまう前に
君が泣いてるとこへ向かうよ
僕の声が聞こえているなら
共に思い切り叫べ
見つける どんなとこにいたって
夜明けが来たら
出口は閉ざされる
・・・コンナイタミ、ボクダケデイイ・・・
君のイノチ奪われる前に
僕のココロ粉々に散ってしまう前に
君のいるとこへ辿り着く
僕の声が聞こえているなら
共に思い切り叫べ
見つける どんなとこにいたって きっと
ENGLISH LYRICS WILL GO HERE WHENEVER I FIGURE OUT A WAY TO TRANSLATE THIS SONG IN A WAY I'M SATISFIED WITH THAT STILL RETAINS ITS MEANING
IT MIGHT TAKE A WHILE

□ "This time, we'd like you to make a rock song, onoken!" ■ "Um... guitars are the things with 6 strings, right?" |
I started off by searching "how to tune a guitar" online. When I finished the song, I was taken aback by how dull my guitar playing was. So that's how the song became so passionate with the powerful help of Sassy's explosive guitar! |
|
Weiss has a dark past, and while he appears to be an enemy at first glance, he is a man of justice who strongly opposes evil. He fights for his life in order to free the captive children. |
|
His personality is reflected in Saira's lyrics and singing. Before your heart is stolen away... please clear the game to defeat evil! |

Nice to meet you. My name is Saira, and I was in charge of writing the lyrics and the vocal performance for this song. I've collaborated with onoken many times in the past, including his original album "Blue Orb" and lyric writing for other works. One of onoken's characteristics (which makes singers like me cry) is that he always strives to raise the bar in some way. For this song, while I have mostly sung ballads in the past, he gave me a smile and asked, "Saira, can you sing to rock music?" |
...to be honest, when he asked that my fighting spirit was ignited (lol). | |
When I saw the documents for Weiss' character and the setting, what immediately came to mind was an underground passage and the crying of a child. And when I heard Weiss himself had a dark past, the story of a "reclaimer from the organization" was quickly created. |
|
Combining his name [TN: read as "vaisu" in Japanese] with the song's title of Versa gives you "vice versa". As we approach Weiss' past, which he tries to defy, please run through the song in full reclamation mode! |

Sassy |
Nice to meet you, my name is Sassy and I played the guitar for this song! |
I was surprised to get such a sudden request from onoken, and that the song ended up being for Pop'n Music! And when the request was "This song is mainly guitar-based, so please help me out!" I was absolutely thrilled (lol)! |
|
But what do you think? When I first got the demo of the song and listened to it, I got a super cool rock song! The more I listened, the more I imagined new phrases. I layered all of them over each other and ended up with about 20 different guitar tracks!! (lol) I've never filled a song with that many guitars before (lol). |
|
The song is full of guitar phrases scattered about as a result, and the button layouts follow these phrases- enjoy playing it as if you were a guitarist, too!! |
"This man is a doctor who was once known as darkness itself. The irredemable past becomes an endless darkness that engulfs the present..."

I almost thought the vocalist was a boy because the voice was so cool... I really want to hear Saira sing live! From the few notes and drawings I had, she expanded upon it in the lyrics and vocals, and when I listened I felt the story and setting expand even more! It was amazing to feel the creativity so directly like that! |
Originally, the story's outline only had a vague description of "a mysterious man in black." But I then had the idea to incorporate an idea I've wanted to try for a while, a "doctor who shoots vaccine shots," and decided to rework that into this world. Then came the design, and Weiss was born! [TN: That concept was originally intended for Black.] |
|
Weiss currently belongs to a certain organization. Although he was a very talented doctor, he was involved in a dark project (that I can't talk about here), and while he has washed his hands of it now that past still looms over him like a shadow. I think the weight of his sins will never allow him to forgive himself. He's seen with a lot of expressions in the story, so I think you'll be able to enjoy something that isn't as heavy as the past I've just described. |
|
However, I only decided on the idea and action. For the animations, I decided to ask mayo to do them, since she's known for her wonderful drawings of men. ...fufufu, it's just what everyone was expecting! |

I was assigned to take care of Weiss!~ What happened in his past and what is his goal? He's a mysterious man in a white labcoat. |
Hmmm, this is a very serious setting! He looks like a doctor, but also a little like a warrior... |
|
He's a doctor, huh? He's smart and athletic, so doesn't that already make him the best?! My head was swimming with thoughts while I was drawing him. | |
As a sidenote, the gun he had during development was called a vaccine gun. I wonder who that is in his FEVER animation. I'm so curious!~ But I have no doubt that he's a reliable older-brother type! He seems somewhat lonely, but also somewhat kind...?? He's a very intriguing character. |
|
Many different characters appear in this game and often cross over into each others' animations. Weiss is one of these characters, appearing in the animations of someone unexpected (at least I didn't expect them), and I got to see a different side of him due to that. All in all, I had fun making his animations. I hope everyone can have fun discovering new things as they play! |
This song eventually went on to get UPPER charts in UniLab, reminding us all of each contributor's talents. And making the soflan worse. (The webmaster loves this song but it did NOT need those slowdowns in the chart waugh)
