- ―pop'n 9 LONG version Music Comment[2]
WE TWO ARE ONE is a song that was exclusive to pop'n stage ex, an upgraded version of pop'n stage. It later made an appearance in a mainline pop'n music game, starting with pop'n music 4. WE TWO ARE ONE was a semi-popular song, spawning console-release appearances in pop'n music 6 and pop'n music KONAMI MUSIC HITS!; as well as having its appearance in the Xbox game, Beat'n Groovy.
WE TWO ARE ONE received a 5LINE/5-button chart in pop'n music 5, a Battle NORMAL chart in pop'n music 9, and new HYPER and EX charts in pop'n music 16 PARTY♪. These two charts use a short version of SUPER EURO LONG (which was removed in the same pop'n music game).
WE TWO ARE ONE's LONG version appear in pop'n music 9, as a default song.
The song itself was entirely removed from later pop'n music titles: the LONG version was removed from pop'n music 16 PARTY♪, and the original version was removed from pop'n music 18 せんごく列伝.
Lyrics
Original
I know you are hurt babe Living in this solitude You're tumbling down Feel like there's no hands to hold (But) don't you worry baby I'm at right in front your door So don't cry no more Love is on the way to you Put down your fear Try to get back to the light Cause I'm right here New days are there to be unfold We two are one hold on tight In the ray of the light I will be there for you We two are one hold on tight The dawn will come And I'll be there with you
Long Version
I know you are hurt babe Living in this solitude You're tumbling down Feel like there's no hands to hold (But) don't you worry baby I'm at right in front your door So don't cry no more Love is on the way to you Put down your fear Try to get back to the light Cause I'm right here New days are there to be unfold ※We two are one hold on tight In the ray of the light I will be there for you We two are one hold on tight The dawn will come And I'll be there with you I still see the evils crawling our minds and ground They set us up, drop those sorrow hearts all alone But I see strength in your soul Try to fight back to the doubts For all we know Lying power would do the rest Listen to your heart Time to get back to the one Cause it's been right there to be unfold once again for you We two are one, hold on tight In a ray of the light I will be there for you We two are one, hold on tight In a ray of the light I will be there for you ※Repeat

Song Production Information
There's no doubt this groovy song will become popular! I included it while thinking this. Have you played it yet...? The steps' arrangement is easy, so appropriately increase the simultaneous steps and dance to it. Actually, this song was created by a certain famous synth programmer, and has a high degree of perfection.
This is a high-speed dance song that first appeared in pop'n stage. Although I originally created this song for pop'n 4, I also wanted to use it for pop'n stage, so as a result, it later appeared here.
I tried to make this song with the image of fashionable ParaPara, but I unfortunately couldn't get into such music in real time at my age (bitter smile), so it was a bit tame to call it ParaPara.
But, I think it turned out to be very tough and enjoyable to play in the game, isn't it?
It's nostalgic~. This is a long-size version of a song that first appeared in pop'n stage, and was later included in pop'n 4.
Originally, I made this track for Vocal Best, and since it was recorded again separately from the main game, the timbres and vocal parts have a completely different atmosphere. Furthermore, there are plenty of remixes added.
But, since the song previously existed, I wonder if this is easy to create? It's outrageous to think this... creating the notecharts for the long version was extremely stressful, and I wanted to keep the same repetitive playing sections together... so I placed the Pop-kuns while going back and forth between the first and second verses, to not make careless mistakes and end up with different charts. Ah~, I don't want to do this anymore (laughs).
Staff Comments (LONG Version)[2][1]
TAMA
I was surprised that it was completed before I noticed.
When did it happen....
masaru
Everyone worked hard to make LONG songs. It seems like it was as difficult as creating new songs.
小林
I played a bit poorly at this chart. I'll try my best even more next time.
tera
I wonder if playing HYPER and above will hurt my hands.
wac
Even now, I have a strong impression of this pop'n stage song, and it's very nostalgic.
Good job for also creating the LONG charts, Murai.
Next week, I'll probably also discuss the hot topic of how difficult it was to create LONG charts.
ミコシバ
It's Murai's song, right?
It's groovy, isn't it?
shio
It's very nostalgic. Can you hear the "woo woo" shouts? I was passionate about pressing that hidden button, and this time, I can press it many times. Has its coolness level gone up to bubbly? Please enjoy the good old days.
ちょび。
It has a very windy and emotional feeling!
