> Composer's comment

**ビター・スイート・パンプキン・ナイト** is a Halloween special song.

The song isn't really open to intepretation, but it's about five children who go on a journey for their Halloween party.

One day, a guest joined the party, The one in a mummy costume told the guest that it felt like a "diorama of a dream" and the one in a pumpkin themed costume said that things could get scarier little by little, which the one in a bunny-like costume does not do that. Therefore, the guest left them and wanted to ruin the party because they thought it wasn't "humorous" at all. At the end, the bunny one said "No time to explain! Let's save Halloween!", and thus, the mission to save the halloween party started...

Note, that the five all have official names:

* The one in the bunny costume is named Koyori

* The one in a magician costume is named Yume

* The one in a pumpkin theme costume is named Dippy

* The one in a devil-like costume is named Akuma

* and the one in a mummy costume is named Momi

## Production

At the final weeks of September, Norikae had a possible halloween song in mind, the only information about it back then was that it featured 5 vocaloids. On the first days of October, the project for the song has started. She was thinking of creating a Halloween series inspired by Machigerita's "1031 series". One day at school, she drew the possible designs for the characters in papers, but one day, her computer had a fresh restart for a reason that isn't worth explaining, as a result, she had to restart the lyrics and tuning all over again. At the final weeks of October, she finally finished the instrumental, designs, movie, and stuff, and **ビター・スイート・パンプキン・ナイト** was the result.

私たちと一緒にプレーしませんか？
どんな世界でも。。。
。。。ジオラマになる！

さあ! いきますよう!
Bitter sweet...
Surprise!
One two! night for you!

夢の果てしない闇。。。
幸せに満たされる！
(happiness dream... comical dream...)
いつもと違う甘いメロディー
メランコリックな仮面舞踏会!
(melancholy... masquerade...)

パンプキンパイは嫌いか？
味わったことはないのか？
おまえを闇に捧げよう！
フルコースでなければ、逃げられない。
今のうちに慈悲を乞え！

きゃわきゃわな オバケ見つけたら
落ち着いて、痛くないから
夢なら、さめないで ！
君とおどるハロウィンの夜。。。

私たちの友達になってほしい？
この党が嫌いなのか？
招かれざる客のようだ
つまらないで 。。。
許さない！
watashitachi to issho ni pure shimasen ka?
donna sekai demo...
...jiorama ni naru!

saa! ikimasu you!
bita suiito...
sapuraisu!
wan, tsu! naito foa yuu!

yume no hateshinai yami
shiawase ni mitasaseru!
(hapinesu dorimu... komikaru dorimu...)
itsumo to chigau amai merodii
merankorikku na kamenbudokai!
merankorii... masukareido...

panpukin pai wa kirai ka?
ajiwatta koto wa nai no ka?
omae wo yami ni sasageyou!
furukoosu dena kereba, nige rarenai.
imanochini jihi wo koe!

kyawa kyawana, obake mitsuketara
ochitsuite, itaikunai kara
yumenara, samenaide!
kimi to odoru harowin no yoru...

watashitachi no tomodachi ni natte hoshii?
kono to ga kirai na no ka?
manekarezarukyaku no yoda...
tsumaranai de....

would you like to play with us?
No matter what world we live...
...you'll suffer in a diorama!

Come on, let's go!
Bitter sweet...
surprise!
One, two! Night for you!

In an endless darkness of a dream...
...It can become full of happiness!
(happiness dream... comical dream...)
The unusual sweet melodies
Is a melancholy masquerade!
(melancholy... masquerade....)

Do you hate pumpkin pie? Have you never taste it?
I shall offer you to darkness!
You can't escape, nowhere to run.
Plead for mercy while you still can!

If you run into a scary ghost...
Calm down! It won't hurt you!
If it is a dream, please don't wake me up from it!
Dancing together on this halloween night...

Do you want us to be our friend?
Wait, you hate this party?
It seems like you are uninvited...
How boring...
I won't forgive you!
