>>56835041>Q: Did anything particularly memorable happen during the recording session?Matsuda: Yes, during the recording session they had the two of us each sing the entire song all by ourselves, followed by Giga-san and TeddyLoid-san then picking which lines in the finished song would come from which singer. This was an entirely new experience for me, and I'm happy I got to try doing a song like this.
>Q: Were there any parts of the song you particularly hoped would get assigned to you?Matsuda: Yes, while I would've been happy with their decisions no matter what they were, I did have a slight hope I'd be given certain parts that I had to keep in check (laughs). As I said, not knowing which parts of a song would be mine was an all new experience for me, and I found it both novel and fun.
Morita: I found it to be a valuable experience as well; This is the first time I had my focus specifically on singing in a cheerful and lively manner, and I got a lot of detailed direction from Giga-san and TeddyLoid-san. I was initially very nervous about the whole ordeal, but as I kept singing, that nervousness gradually changed to enjoyment.
>Q: Are there any parts of the song you'd consider your favorite?Matsuda: The very start of the song is really catchy, and I personally really like how, when the song goes "Yatchae Big Up!", that "Big Up!" bit sounds like "Pika!". I think the lyrics help make this a really encouraging song.
Morita: The bit in the second chorus that goes "Batsugun na suteki-ing negai" actually makes me picture Pokémon and Trainers battling when I hear it. It's a really upbeat and exciting chorus that made me create little battles in my head while listening to it (laughs).
