EGOISTIC LEMONTEA
Pop’n Music is one of the top Bemani games that features the talents of Konami brilliant artists. Already in their 19th arcade game, Pop’n Music featured familiar tunes from anime theme, to dance-music, rock, hip-hop and even ethnic music. It is insanely hard to play as well, with 9-buttons controller forcing players to react to the music as different instrument, instead of concentrating on one particular instrument or mixing device.
There are plenty of memorable songs from Pop’n Music, and one of my favourite is by the artist EGOISTIC LEMONTEA.
EGOISTIC LEMONTEA is the pseudonym of Tatsuya Mizuno (composer), used exclusively for Bemani series of rhythm video games by Konami. Songs of EGOISTIC LEMONTEA are primarily associated with the music character Sumire in the Sympathy theme used in Pop’n Music.
Sympathy themes:
Sympathy – Usual Days
Sympathy 2 – Distance
Sympathy 3 – Memories
Sympathy 4 – Cloudy Skies
Cloudy Skies, which was featured as a unlockable song in the Pop’n Music Portable (PSP game), has a nice dance beat, which I totally love to groove to.
