Finally Arriving in Town (Stage 4)

## Narration

Encouraged by the old fish and the big eagle, Mojibri continues his journey alone and eventually arrives at a big city. The city is crowded with people and things.

So, teach your mountain friend, Mojibri, a super cool shout that will make him stand out from the gang of rappers in town. Come on, baby! Let's Go! or Oh yeah!

## Japanese Lyrics

モジブリ　たどりつくまち　すばらしくあさひかがやくとち、

あちこちに　クールなラッパギャング　カタカナことばじゃん、

## English Lyrics

Mojiburi, you arrived in the town, in the land of the wonderful morning sun,

There are cool gangs of rappers everywhere, they surely are speaking in Katakana.

"Hey you! You're quite a funny guy, where are you from? Are you a foreigner?"

"We are partying all night, we can tell your style is as old as Ammonite"

"Come on, we're inviting you and then pretend to follow you around"

[A I U E O] I'm feeling in high spirits, I'll perform a shout,  [Hey HO YO!]

Showing off every night, every day, on anybody, working hard on a nice body.

Popular raps, mixed with English without knowing the meaning.

Say ho! Say What? Say yo! They got popular! They are shouting more and more!

I am Mojiburi, the number one, the super top-rapper, with terrific skills.

Oh, Mojiburi, somehow that feels empty, with such behaviour.

Oh, my heart is upset, i became so absorbed because i forgot to behave

I have to stop continuing that way, nothing else, if I am a bad boy, there's no other way.

I'm just fat rhymes, an ill representation, with all respect, [A I U E O]

Say ho! Say What? Say yo yo! I'm walking in circles, like a yo-yo i go.

Never ever, Mojiburi, in this severe struggle stop the way, at all away.

This town is tainted with a simple life, like the takuan rice, that's supper i do not eat.

And gradually, with a lot of distress, the ring of truth urges me forward for the time being.

My hit blew up! It's a popular blast! Money begins to increase, just like a zaibatsu.

And gradually, with a fierce feeling, the ring of truth forgets its punishment.
Magical instrument

a Magickal Instrument is a object that allows Mages to conduct their magic. Thes objects are things like wands, rings, staves, walking sticks, monocles and belt buckles.

Known instruments -

* Simon's wand -
	+ Simons wand is made of bone and has a wooden handle. In Carry On it notes that the Mage gave him the wand which belonged to the mages father (Simons grandfather).

* Baz's wand -
	+ Baz's wand is made of Ivory( Heffalump tusk ) and has a leather handle. This wand was probably passed down to Baz from someone else in his family.

* Penelope's ring -
	+ Penelope's ring is made of gold and has a large Amethyst in the centre. The Amethyst is the main power source of the ring, without it it would be just a ring.

* Agatha's wand
* Davy's wand -
	+ Davy's wand is made of an unknown material and has a silver tip.
* Gareth's belt buckle
* Penelope's brother's monocle
Universal Dance

**Universal Dance** (aka **HOT PLAY**) is one of the songs on the Vib-Ribbon Soundtrack. It plays on round 2 of the silver course in Vib-Ribbon.

Lost Media

The Vib-Ribbon series has had its fair share of physical and digital media that's hard to find, and some them of are so obscure, they can't even be viewable on the internet.

The following list contains Lost Media relating to the Vib-Ribbon series that have some evidence of existing.

### List of lost media found

Vib-Ribbon Promotional Christmas Disc: Found on June 12th, 2021.

Vib-Rihon (Vib-Ribbon art book): Found on August 13, 2021.

## Vib-Ripple Mobile Port

A mobile port of Vib-Ripple was released on May 20th, 2004, as part of a promotional campaign handled by Dwango corporation for the PS2 game on the "Iromeromix" website. It was made in Flash and is unreasonably simplified, featuring unpixellated, crudely made versions of the Peta characters and Vibri being black as opposed to white with a pink glow. It is unknown if there are even any enemies or a time limit, as there is no video footage or current download links known to exist. Its limited release to being only on one website, plus the low popularity of Flash on mobile at the time, means it's unlikely the game will ever resurface.

## Vibri Guest Appearance on Japanese TV

In December 1999, Viewsic (now known as MUSIC ON TV! or M-ON!) broadcasted their special event, Viewsic Countdown 20. The event played the top 100 songs under the, "Viewsic Countdown 100 Years," title. Between each ranking, Vibri would introduce the next upcoming song. She would continue to do so until 20th place, where other people took over and also talked about music.

Mention of the event on M-ON!'s Japanese Wikipedia article and archive blogs about people witnessing the event and Vibri's appearance are evidence of its existence. An image of the event, or at least a commercial, was found on March 2020. Footage of Vibri's appearance or the event itself hasn't been found or discovered yet.

## Vib-Ribbon Themed Mobile Game [Vaporware]

   Masaya Matsuura filed a Japanese patent on November 2000. The patent contains concepts for an early Vib-Ribbon themed mobile game  Movement for Vibri seems to involve rotating a scroll wheel like dial on the front or side of the phone. Judging by the patent illustrations, there appears to be at least two game-modes, one involving avoiding obstacles to reach a target distance or destination, similar to Vib-Ribbon, while the other involves keeping Vibri balanced on rotating platforms and prevent her from falling. There is no evidence of the game's existence outside of the patent, so it's very likely the game doesn't exist, making it "Vaporware."

NanaOn-Sha

NanaOn-Sha (株式会社七音社, Kabushiki-gaisha NanaOn-Sha) is a Japanese video game company which created what is widely credited as the first modern rhythm game, PaRappa the Rapper. It was founded by Masaya Matsuura in 1993. The game's success resulted in the spinoff Um Jammer Lammy, which is based on guitar samples, and eventually a proper sequel, PaRappa the Rapper 2. NanaOn-Sha also produced another novel music game, Vib-Ribbon, but released the game only in Japan and the PAL region. The game was later released in North America on the PSN store as a PS1 classic in 2014.

"Nana On Sha" roughly translates into "seventh sound company" from Japanese.
Historia del jazz

El *jazz* es una forma de arte musical que se originó en los Estados Unidos mediante la confrontación de los negros con la música europea. La instrumentación, melodía y armonía del *jazz* se derivan principalmente de la tradición musical de Occidente. El ritmo, el fraseo y la producción de sonido, y los elementos de armonía de *blues* se derivan de la música africana y del concepto musical de los afroamericanos.

A lo largo de su historia, el *jazz* ha pasado de ser una simple música de baile popular a una forma de arte reconocida en todo el mundo. Paralelamente a dicho progreso, han cambiado también las actitudes hacia esta música: en 1924 un periodista del *Nueva York Times* se refería a ella como «el retorno de la música de los "salvajes"», mientras que en 1987 el Congreso de los Estados Unidos de América declaraba al *jazz* como un «destacado modelo de expresión» y como un "excepcional tesoro nacional". Se ha señalado que el motor de dicho progreso ha sido la innovación, una particularidad que siempre ha estado presente en la historia de esta música, dirigiendo su evolución y caracterizando la obra de sus artistas más destacados al lado de una rama más tradicionalista. Paralelamente a esta dicotomía entre la innovación y la tradición, el *jazz* se ha movido entre la obra de unos artistas que solo han buscado el reconocimiento de una pequeña pero selecta audiencia y otros que ha dirigido sus esfuerzos a una audiencia más amplia.

La identidad musical del *jazz* es compleja y no puede ser delimitada con facilidad. En primer lugar, aunque a menudo el término se use para hacer referencia a un idioma musical (tal como se hace, por ejemplo, cuando se habla de *música clásica*), el *jazz* es en realidad una familia de géneros musicales que comparten características comunes, pero no representan individualmente la complejidad de género como un todo; en segundo lugar, sus diversas "funciones sociales" (el *jazz* puede servir como música de fondo para reuniones o como música de baile, pero ciertos tipos de *jazz* exigen una escucha atenta y concentrada) requieren un ángulo de estudio diferente; y en tercer lugar, el tema racial siempre ha generado un profundo debate sobre el *jazz*, moldeando su recepción por parte del público. Si bien el *jazz* es un producto de la cultura afroamericana, siempre ha estado abierto a influencias de otras tradiciones musicales, y ya desde la década de 1920 ha sido ejecutado por músicos de diversas partes del mundo con un trasfondo muy diferente. En ocasiones se ha mostrado como paradigma del *jazz* la obra de músicos comerciales,nota 1 que los aficionados y la crítica han considerado subproductos alejados de la tradición, entendiendo por el contrario, que el *jazz* es una forma de música negra, en la que los afroamericanos han sido sus mayores innovadores y sus más notables representantes.
Peta Characters

Vib Ribbon

An Elephant Peta Character on the cover of Vib-Ripple

**Peta Characters** are the main collectibles in Vib-Ripple. They're small sprites of various things, ranging from animals, plants, food, objects, and more. The goal of a given stage is to collect all the required Peta Characters indicated by the UI in the bottom left corner, though there are also additional characters to collect (a perfect bonus is awarded if you do). Peta Characters typically hide within places of the image that match their color. To collect a Peta Character, jump on a location that looks like it might be hiding something until the Peta starts to get peeled off (you'll know you're making progress by the noises of the Peta's name sped up playing when you bounce). Once the Peta Character is fully peeled, Vibri will float next to it and announce its name. This gameplay loop will continue until you have collected all required Peta Characters within the stage or get a Game Over. Vibri will announce all the Peta Characters you collected at the results screen, as well as showing off a bigger Peta Character if you collected all 8 within a set. These bigger Peta Characters usually resembles a human. If a Peta is left semi-peeled for too long, it will reset and you'll have to start over with it. Boonchies have no effect on Peta Characters other than they can sometimes pop out of spots where a Peta would likely be hidden. While in Queen Vibri form, all Peta Characters will be highlighted and will remain highlighted until Queen Vibri's duration is over. There are a total of 180 unique Peta Characters.

## Trivia

* Despite Vib-Ripple being rated *All* (equivalent to *Everyone* rating in American games) in Japan, there is a gun and a beer bottle Peta Character.

Boonchies

A Boomchie

**Boonchies** are small slime-like creatures that appear only in Vib-Ripple. They are the only traditional enemies in the series. There are many variants of Boonchies. If Vibri hits one, she'll turn into a frog, and then a worm. When Vibri becomes Queen Vibri, she'll be able to temporarily defeat them without getting hurt herself.

## Variants

**Boonchies -** Basic enemies. They move around at a snail's pace and generally aren't much of a problem. They can still hurt Vibri like the others though.

**Boomchies -** Larger Boonchies that stay in one place. A bubble eventually appears over them, counting down from 3. When it reaches 0, it explodes and creates a shock-wave. The wave is also deadly. Once a Boomchie explodes, it will wait a while and then reform.

**Huge Boonchies -** Gigantic Boonchies that take up most of the space. Huge Boonchies act like Boomchies, exploding after a short time. When they explode, however, they will explode into many Boonchies. This has earned them the nickname Momchies. Unlike other Boonchies, Huge Boonchies can't be defeated by Queen Vibri and don't reform.

**Helichies -** They are the same size as Boomchies. When they spawn, they grow a propeller and float into the air. They fly in a small circle.
Yoko Fujita

Nicodemus Petty

Nicodemus Petty is the brother of Ebb Petty. He is a subject of Baz, Simon and Penny's interest in "Carry On", as Natasha Grimm-Pitch visits Simon when the veil lifts and informs him that Nicodemus knows who her killer is.

He attended Watford School of Magicks and was close friends with Fiona Pitch. It is implied that he was once involved in a romantic relationship with Fiona.

He was stricken from the Book when he voluntarily became a vampire, meaning that nobody in the World of Mages is allowed to talk to, or about, him. He was gelded, and his wand was broken. Although he was stricken from the Book, he still secretly visited his sister on Christmas every year.

In "Any Way the Wind Blows," Nico plays another minor role when it is revealed that he has been secretly dating Fiona.
Roll Along

**Roll Along**(aka **Going On**) is one of the songs on the Vib-Ribbon Soundtrack. It plays on round 2 of the gold course in Vib-Ribbon.

## **Lyrics**

**English**

Let's walk with face up

Walk with arms swinging

Even if that way is ROUGH

Don't give up, and go on

Knock on the next door there

Then go on the next step

Go straight always

Let's walk with face up

Walk with arms swinging

Walk over tall mountains

And big valleys, don't give up

Go to the new place

Without looking back, cross the bridge over there

Make friends there

We'll get along

Even if that way is ROUGH

Don't give up, and go on

Knock on the next door there

Then go on the next step

Go straight always

Rubbing Against Love Moji (Stage 6)

## Narration

Mojibri falls in love with Mojiko at first sight, and decides to write her a love letter.

Now, please tell the wordy Mojibri a clever phrase that will shake Mojiko's heart.

## Japanese Lyrics (With Romaji)

**Notes: In the 「」 spaces in the song goes the following:**

➀. Mojibri's loving words to Mojiko.

②. A custom line (Needs clarification).

＊. The Player's Profile name.
Mojiko

Mojiko [モジコ , mo-jii-ko]is a playable character in the spinoff game Mojib-Ribbon.

## Appearance

Mojiko has an appearance similar to a clown[1] or mime[2] and has a lantern style sleeves for her dress. Her shoes are upturned on the toe. Her face is comprised of asterisk eyes, presumably a sideways-zero nose, a parenthesis mouth, and a period beauty mark, typing into the game's core idea of rapping. She has a hairstyle similar to buns, with a larger bun stacked on the smaller on either side. She also has a stack of orange dango (Japanese dumplings) on her head, like Mojibri and Osorezan. She carries a double-sided ink brush.

### Gameplay

Mojiko's forms are Kappa Mojiko, Panda Mojiko, Mojiko, and Super Mojiko.

In gameplay, whenever the player does not perform well, in a similar system to Vib Ribbon, Mojiko loses her dress and lantern sleeves, as well as her shoes. Her feet become inky black in this state. Additionally, She loses the top buns on either side of her hair-do. When the player is performing extremely poorly, Mojiko becomes a Kappa, a Japanese mythology creature, being short, and her mouth becomes a fox-like snout. It also appears that her stack of orange dango on her head are resting on a flower. When the player is doing exceptionally, she gets three hair buns instead of two, and the skirt of her dress becomes flatter and less rounded. On top of this, she also grows a pair of wings.

## Personality and Relationships

Based on official trailers[3], gameplay[4], as well as victory cutscenes[5] and game-over cutscenes[6], it can be inferred that Mojiko is silly, confident, and kind. She is also very emotional and cries whenever she loses. Mojiko appears to be good friends with both Mojibri and Osorezan, however in the official trailer that Osorezan can scare Mojiko.

### Mojibri

After the events of 'Rubbing Against Love Moji' Mojiko is supposedly sent a love letter, and after reading it she is seen following him around until she introduces herself to the player and proceeds to write her own introduction stage.

#### Osorezan

Although very afraid of Osorezan when they met, she does seem to quite like it when he is following her around and is comfortable with him.

## Trivia

* "Moji" means letter, and dango (the orange orbs on her head) are made from mochiko. This is most likely where the inspiration for her name came from.
Vib-Ribbon Gohoubi Song

**Vib-Ribbon Gohoubi Song** (AKA High Score Song) is one of the songs on the Vib-Ripple & Vib-Ribbon Original Soundtrack, as well as the Vib-Ribbon vinyl. It plays when the player achieves a high score in Vib-Ribbon. The high score position determines the length of the song in game, while the soundtrack plays the full version.
Rainbow

Rainbow is an unreleased song that was meant to be featured in Vib-Ribbon. It was first made public by the Vib-Ribbon vinyl by Minimum Records. Like the other tracks, it was performed by Laugh & Peace. However, unlike the others, the vocals were performed by Kumiko Ito, not Yoko Fujita. It is unclear why this track was not included, though reasons could include the singer being different from the other songs or the game being out of room for songs.
Vib-Ribbon Promotional Christmas Disc

Around the same time as Vib-Ribbon was first being released in Japan, Tsutaya, a Japanese video and bookstore rental shop, released a mini CD with Vib-Ribbon and Christmas theme packaging. The Christmas disc was a promotion for Vib-Ribbon and the *Symphonic Orgel OPUS* series of albums at Tsutaya stores.

The mini CD case features Vibri resting under a tree while it's snowing. According to reddit user *domromer*, the Japanese on the front reads:

*"Vib-Ribbon Xmas Disc*

*Momi no ki (song name meaning Japanese fir tree) from Symphonic Music Box Opus 4 Christmas Carol*

*The PlayStation game Vib-Ribbon lets you play with any music CD you like! This one works, too!*

*Note: This is an audio CD. You cannot play the game with this CD alone."*

The Back of the packaging talks more about the album, and that the mini CD contains a song from *OPUS 4:Christmas Carol.* The disc it self is green, with snowflakes and a laid back Vibri. The Christmas disc also game with a Vib-Ribbon themed envelope that allowed you to send the disc easily by mail.

The disc contains only one song, which is a musical chimes rendition of *O Christmas Tree.* The song doesn't feature vocals.

For 21 years, the Christmas disc was considered lost media, due to there being no rip of the disc online, as well as the lack of documentation or photos. Photos of the disc and packaging were found around August 2019. Later on May 23rd, 2021, the Christmas Disc was listed on a Japanese Yahoo! auction, and Twitter user *stellarw1nd* would win the auction. On June 12, 2021, the disc was obtained and it's data was ripped. The track is available on YouTube

Score Coupons

Vib-Ribbon's scoring system is unique in that it does not use numbers, but shapes (sometimes called **Score Coupons**) that represent different amounts of points. The value of the coupon changes when placed in a different part of the score. After the stage is cleared or the player gets a game over, the values of the coupons are added to show the player the score in numeric digits.

The score is shown at the top of the screen as 7 shapes revolving in a carousel-like path.

There are 15 different shapes, shown below:

## Scoring Points

The amount of points you earn when you successfully get past an obstacle depends on how well you are doing. While in any form except Queen form and not accounting for ways to get bonus points, the amount of points you get when completing an obstacle is your amount of obstacles clear streak + 1. For example, starting at the beginning and clearing every obstacle, your score should look like this: 1, 3 , 6, 10, 15... The obstacle streak number has a cap of 11, so 11 is the max amount of points you can get when clearing an obstacle. If you mess up, then the obstacle streak number will reset to 0. If in Queen form, then the amount of points you get per obstacle is doubled to 22.

There are two other ways of scoring points. One is to freestyle. If you press buttons that aren't the ones you need to clear the obstacle coming up, and then clear the obstacle, then you will gain additional points. Accuracy also comes into play, giving you 1 or 2 extra points depending on how accurate you were.

## Limits

    Should the score go above 116,279, the game will stop counting points, and the Score Coupons will no longer change shape. However, the bonus will still increase.

The maximum possible score that can be achieved in Vib-Ribbon is 21,591,115 due to an overflow of the hex value stored for the bonus points (0x00076398 (PAL)), which is roughly 1/100th of the signed 32-bit integer limit of 2,147,483,647, that being 21,474,836. (This is likely because the last two digits of the value are reserved as decimal places, so essentially, this would be an integer simulating a float.) Continuing on and getting more points after obtaining 21,591,115 points will result in a negative score appearing instead.

## Post game bonus points

After the end of every stage that is beaten in the game, Vibri can be seen adding "extra bonus" points to the score depicted by these shapes. How these points are calculated depends on what form Vibri was in after completing the final obstacle of the course.

Bonus points are calculated as follows:

 Rabbit
 Frog
 Worm
Music World

The Music World and Vib-Ribbon

The **Music World** is a black void with nothing else shown in it except for the Vib-Ribbon, a white wire which runs through it. Both the nature of the Vib-Ribbon and Music World is unknown to the player. However, we do know that the Vib-Ribbon has many obstacles that inhabitants of the Music World (which may or may not only include Vibri) must navigate if they set foot on it. True to its name, the Music World plays music to whoever traverses the Vib-Ribbon and generates obstacles (sometimes referred to as Pieces) accordingly. It is the setting of Vib-Ribbon.

## Trivia

* The name of the Music World appears to come from an interview with Masaya Matsuura, where he mentions "...objects in the Music World..."
* The name of the Vib-Ribbon originates from the PAL manual for the game where it is referred to as such.
* The Vib-Ribbon itself cameos in Astro's Playroom. In the stage Catching Caves in SSD Speedway, going left and taking the path that goes down after the first checkpoint will lead to a scene where you see an Astro Bot walking across the Vib-Ribbon.

I am just kidding, but it comes true

It's blowing, chattering, I promise

When you get hungry, I give you milk

Your sleeping face... so...

Have fun, then get tired, lie down, and get up

You've never been spoiled, so I'll let you be spoiled

Even if you feel lonely and want to cry, don't cry

You are really a baby

Mojibri

Mojibri [モジブリ, mo-jii-bu-ri]is a playable character in the spinoff game Mojib-Ribbon.

## Appearance

Mojibri has a sleeveless shirt, with harem pants and upturned shoes like Mojiko. He has t's for eyes, an x for a nose, a period beauty mark, and a parenthesis mouth, tying into the style of gameplay. He has what appear to be two antennae, and a stalk-like structure with a stack of orange dango (Japanese dumplings) on top, like Mojiko and Osozeran. He carries a single-sided ink brush.

### Gameplay

Mojibri's forms are Peach Mojibri, Gourd Mojibri, Mojibri, and Super Mojibri.

In gameplay, whenever the player does not perform well, in a system similar to Vib Ribbon, Mojibri devolves into a shape similar to a hyotan gourd sake bottle. His feet become inky black in this state. When the player is performing extremely poorly, Mojibri becomes a peach. His stack of orange dango float above his head. When the player is performing very well, Mojibri gets a floating ring of spikes around him, and also a chain necklace with what seems to be a smiley face on the front.

## Personality and relationships

Mojibri is a boy born from the ink dripping from the gods' writing. Based on various footage[1] [2] [3] [4] it can be inferred that Mojibri is confident, charismatic, and playful. He is also very determined whenever he loses and needs to start over. In stage 1, Mojibri describes himself as someone with a mature charm and a slight bashfulness. His goal is to write every single thing in the universe, and to do this he follows a path of wabi-sabi and asceticism. He appears to be good friends with Mojiko, comforting her whenever she cries. He is also good friends with Osorezan, however, in the official trailer, it's shown that Osorezan can scare Mojibri.

### Mojiko

Mojiko can be inferred as Mojibri's love interest, as shown in 'Rubbing Against Love Moji', he appears to write her a somewhat desperate love letter asking her to follow him, which is how she becomes part of his entourage and stays with him for the rest of the duration of the game.

### Osorezan

When Osorezan first appears it is shown that Mojibri (and Mojiko) are running away from him as he "erupts" from a volcano, but after rapping with him for a while, becomes no longer scared and quite comfortable and friendly with him.

## About the Vib-Ribbon series

Shortly after the success of his first game, PaRappa The Rapper, Masaya Matsuura had pretty much complete freedom to do what he wanted next. It was his love of music, video games, vector graphics, and analog waves that sparked the idea for Vib-Ribbon. It didn't sell too well, but it's originally Japan and Europe only release on the Playstation 1 earned the game a cult following. The game was later released on the Playstation Network for everybody to enjoy. Before that, however, Japan got an exclusive spin-off in the form of Mojib-Ribbon on the Playstation 2. Later, a proper sequel to Vib-Ribbon was released also on Playstation 2 in the form of Vib-Ripple, also Japan-exclusive.

Vib-Ribbon Clear (1-4)

**Vib-Ribbon Clear 1-4** are a collection of songs on the Vib-Ripple & Vib-Ribbon Original Soundtrack. They play in Vib-Ribbon when you complete a stage, but don't have a high score. The clear songs on the soundtrack use higher quality voice clips for Vibri. Clear 4 is missing some sound effects that would have played in game.

Vib-Ribbon Soundtrack

The **Vib-Ribbon Soundtrack** is the soundtrack for Vib-Ribbon. The soundtrack, according to Masaya Matsuura, was provided by a band called Laugh and Peace, with vocals by Yoko Fujita. Working with the band, Matsuura wanted a soundtrack that would encourage players to use their own music CDs. Reluctance to associate the game with any one music genre was a big part of why the game's visuals are so color-neutral and simple. Since it's debut, it has received wide praise for its originality and experimental nature.

## Tracklist

1. **Polaroid** / Tech² Walking / O-Sampo
2. **Sunny Day** / Oops!
3. **Laugh & Peace** / Do You Know, Shitteruu? / You Know What?

## Rainbow

The Vib-Ribbon soundtrack vinyl contains an unreleased song called Rainbow. It was likely meant to be a stage in the game but was cut for unknown reasons. Unlike the other tracks, wherein the vocals were performed by Yoko Fujita, this track was performed by Kumiko Ito.

## **Lyrics**

Walking by the river

Dog is by my side

Raindrops falling on me

I have no umbrella

Search in my car

Search in my house

I can't find just anything I want

Searching my heart

Searching my past

There's no answer any time anyplace

Walking by the river

Dog is by my side

Raindrops falling on me

I have no umbrella

Talking to my boyfriend

Such a happy time

He says "Good night" to me

I feel i'm alone

Waiting for you

Waiting for me

I don't know how

I'm just looking for

Waiting for words

Waiting for time

There's no answer anytime anyplace

Looking for my answer

Looking for my dreams

Starting over

Looking for my answer

Looking for my future

Where I go throught?

What I know?

Step by step!

Over the mountain

Step by step!

Cross the ocean

Step by step!

Over the rainbows

Going my way

Jump and jump!

Over the mountain

Jump and jump!

Cross the ocean

Jump and jump!

Over the rainbows

I can get everything

He was born in Osaka on June 16, 1961, and majored in Industrial Society at Ritsumeikan University. He has worked extensively with music and images, and has been active with the J-Pop band Psy-S. Matsuura been credited with popularizing the modern rhythm-based music video game at his studio NanaOn-Sha.

Matsuura founded the Tokyo-based production company, NanaOn-Sha, and began development of video games. The first major project would be a unique game fusing hip-hop rhythms the visual talents of American animator, Rodney Greenblat. Released in December 1996 in Japan, *PaRappa the Rapper* is regarded as one of the first modern rhythm games. Matsuura's talent for combining music and video game play would again be demonstrated with his 1999 release of the generative music game *Vib-Ribbon*, and would cement his position as one of the founders of the music game genre.
Laugh & Peace (Group)

*This article is about the group that created the Vib-Ribbon and Mojib-Ribbon soundtracks. Were you looking for the Vib-Ribbon song of the same name?*

**Laugh & Peace** (also referred to as Laugh and Peace) is a music producing unit. Formed in 1991, they have been involved with vocals, instrumental music, game music, remixes, arrangements, and music for commercials.

They are most commonly known for their Laugh & Peace name, though beforehand they were known as KYO-KI, and later known as UNCO ☆ STAR. Outside of Japan, they are known mainly for their work on the Vib-Ribbon Soundtrack. It was under the Laugh & Peace branding that they worked on the soundtrack for Vib-Ribbon, as well as the soundtrack for Mojib-Ribbon, which never left Japan. Like their work on Mojib-Ribbon, nearly all of their work never left Japan. In 1999, they released "Chotto kī te na" (Listen A Little), which hit the top 10 in Kansai sales charts.

Sophronia Grimm

Sophronia "Sophie" Grimm is the five-year-old half-sister of Tyrannus "Baz" Basilton Grimm-Pitch. She's the daughter of Baz's father Malcolm Grimm and his stepmother, Daphne Grimm.

## Appearance

Sophie is described as looking like her mother, Daphne, with "dark hair, but not black like Baz's, with round cheeks and those Billie Piper mouths that don't quite close over their front teeth." Simon opines that she (as well as her siblings) "don't look dangerous enough" to be related to Baz.

In *Any Way the Wind Blows*, Baz notes that even he has a difficult time telling the difference between Sophie and her twin sister, Petra, unless they are smiling.
