女の子ボーカルもので、ちょっとしたネタ曲（いわゆるイロモノ）をコンセプトに創りましたでご ざいます。
直感的に女の子＝甘いもの大好き！っていうイメージ（偏見？、全国の女性の方、間違っていたらごめんなさい )からその欲望とリスクとの葛藤を描いています。サビのメロディーが鬱陶しいぐらい頭に残ってしまうのは策 略でございます。
こんなイロモノを快く歌ってくれたのは、「関西発はっちゃけ高校生女の子2人組新規ユニット」（なげーな） 「Twinkle☆berry」です。かわいがってやってください。この二人、収録中もノリノリで、また休 憩中もずーーーっとお喋りてしたり、なんか食べてたり、とにかく元気で、仲がいいんです。で、私とYuei 氏はそのパワーに圧倒されつつも、「若い女の子は元気があってかわいくていいなぁ」と終始オッサン丸出しで ございました。
クリップですが、今回もはぐ氏でございます。これに出てくるスイーツ達、生唾が出るぐらい本気で美味そうで ございます。主人公のよもぎちゃんもかわいらしくて素敵です。でも、よもぎちゃんって、やっぱりどことなく はぐ氏に似てるぞ！（変身術後の方じゃないよ、ごめんねはぐ）だ、だからといって魔法が解けた後のでもない からね！念のため（あたふた）
This song's intial concept was based on the idea of a female vocalist with a twist. The first idea that I thought of, “girls” having a sweet tooth and displaying the desire and risks that comes from sweets in general (maybe I am too biased? I am terribly sorry if I offended anyone). The lyrics are designed, especially the chorus portion, to linger in the listeners’ head long after the song is done.
“Twinkle☆berry” is composed of a, “new duet group: two lunatic-happy Kansai high school girls” who sang heartily to this bizarre song. Please welcome them both. These two girls, they are always enthusiastic during recording and for food, always are happy and energetic, and are very close to each other. Mr. Yeui and myself often times thought to ourselves, “Young girls are always so hyper, energetic, and cute”, which made us realize that we are comparing their youth to our old geezer auras.
Like always, Ms. Hagu designed the clip for our song. All sweets that appear in this video look very mouth-wateringly delicious, for reals. The protagonist, Yomogi – chan, also is very cute and charming. No matter how I look at her, she kind of resembles Ms. Hagu! (not the sexy, transformation magic version, sorry to break it to you), although I am not implying that Ms. Hagu looks like the one AFTER the sexy magic wears off, just to make sure you won’t get it confused!

タルト大好き！な女の子のおはなしです。
私も甘いもの大好き！なのでノリノリで甘ものを描きました。
ぶっちゃけ女の子のキャラクターより時間かかってたりします。
時には、参考の為に実際に甘ものを購入したりもしました。
もちろん、参考にした後は美味しくいただきました。
まぁ、その後苦しむことになるのですが（現在も苦しんでます…）
どこかに解けない魔法のタルト売ってませんかね？
ちなみに女の子の名前は「甘野（かんの）よもぎ」ちゃんといいます。
きっと実家は和菓子屋さんで、その反動で洋風スイーツが大好きに…とか和風な名前からちょっと 妄想。
そういえば、王子によもぎちゃんになんか似てると言われるんですが、そうかなぁ？
キャラクターは描き手に似るとはよく聞きますけれども。
まぁ、甘いものに目がなくて、自制心がないところはそっくりですけどね～、アッハッハ！！（泣 笑）
あ、あとこっそり（でもないか）ルックスのしずくちゃんも出てきたりします。
一緒に甘もの食べてますけど、どういう関係なんでしょうね。
ん、あともう一人のメガネっ娘は…？
It’s about a story of a girl who LOVES tarts!
I also LOVE tarts! And so, I had a lot of fun drawing out all the sweets in the video. To be honest, it took much longer to draw all the sweets than it did to draw the girl.
Sometimes, I took a break and went out to get some sweets as references. Of course, as soon as I got some inspiration out of it, I gracefully devoured them all. Too bad I have to pay the price later on (even to this day I am suffering from it…). I really wonder if anyone really sells magical tarts that are neverending?
The girl’s name is, “Kanno Yomogi” (written as “Sweet field” and read “Kanno”, it's a pun). Just from her name sounding so Japanese, I imagined her family business must be Wagashi [a type of Japanese sweets], must’ve got tired of Japanese sweets, and therefore developed a craving for Western-style sweets.
Speaking of Yomogi –chan, Ouji (prince) told me that I look like her, I really wonder? I DO hear that characters drawn by their designers often times resemble themselves. Well, the fact that she loves sweets and can’t control herself is just like me though~, Ah-haha!! (sob)
Oh, and Shizuku –chan from Looks [the girl protagonist from Looks, a GF/DM V song] makes a subtle (or not) guest appearance in the clip. They both are eating sweets, sitting side by side; I wonder if they’re friends?
Hm, and who is that girl with glasses…? [she's the girl protagonist from Saisokutouhikou, a GF/DM V2 song that's also sung by Twinkle☆berry. It is an emuse song and is translated as, "The Fastest Escape"].
