Tokimeki no Story (ときめきのストーリー?, Story of Palpitation) is the song used in Lush Remix in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. The song was performed by Tokimekist (Chi-chan, Rino Hirayama, Mai-chan, Yurinko), written and composed by Tsunku♂, and arranged by Yuasa Kouichi[1]. The vocals were removed in the international version.
The fact that the intro is a bit long is also a directional effect, and I think that the sense of "stalling" as the game does not start easily is also connected to the maiden's heart.
The picture and the game exist as a "remix" game, so it doesn't have the "twilight feeling" that I had in mind when I wrote the lyrics, but please play through the game. I believe you'll find that this "remix" has an incredible sense of scale.
世界中を大きな船で旅してるようなそんなスケール感。
It's like traveling around the world on a big ship.
皆様も音楽を聞きつつ、でも、このスケール感をたっぷり楽しんでほしいなって思います。
I hope that everyone will enjoy this sense of scale while listening to the music.
ちーちゃん、平山りの、まいちゃん、ゆりんこ と 女性4名で歌っています。
The song is sung by four women: Chi-chan, Rino Hirayama, Mai-chan, and Yurinko.
この4人の声が合わさると、また、哀愁感が増しますね。
When these four voices are combined, it adds to the melancholy feeling.
この曲も8ビートっぽく感じると思いますが、しっかり16ビートを感じていないと歌えません。
I think this song also feels like an 8-beat song, but you have to feel the 16-beat to sing it.
ということはしっかり16ビートを感じていないとゲームも達成出来ないかもですよ～。
So if you don't feel the 16 beats firmly, you may not be able to beat this game either!
Trivia
The word "tokimeki" in the title refers to the beating of one's heart (out of joy or excitement). In the context of this song, it may refer to the feeling of anxiety the singer feels while dancing in front of an audience.
