Song of the Week! 21 September 2024

 
With the start of another Fall season, it might be the right time to talk about fallen songs once more... it's been a while since our last one, isn't it?

Perma-removals are such a beast that can affect anything and anytime, despite what kind of strong "pre-existing ties" of song licensing may have been here. In this case here, having still-available NayutalieN songs did nothing to save this song from the 'Mythical song' fate. Hell, not even being the theme of a series taking place in the Saitama prefecture -as much important it is to Namco's Taiko culture- wasn't enough!

Donning the original title of Rikei ga Koi ni Ochita no de Shōmei Shite Mita, this romantic comedy Anime from pen-named Alifred Yamamoto's namesake original manga series follows the relationship of Shinya Yukimura and Ayame Imuro, two first-year researchers at Saitama University who conduct themselves in their study of the world's proceeding through science-based researches and reasoning... their attraction towards each other included. Indeed, once Ayame told Shinya that she might have fallen in love with him, the two ultimately agree to approach the situation with the upmost scientific rigor, also aided by their university seniors in their own studies. The still-ongoing manga run from 2016 has spawned 15 tankōbon and two 12-episodes seasons, both produced by the Zero-G studio: one in 2020 (with Turing Love as its ending theme) and the other (subtitled r=1-sinθ (Heart)) two years later.

It's a perma-removal history like many for the Oni-chart-talk side, with a greater focus on handswitching skills before its Go-Go Time portion. However, this has marked a first across arcade Ranking Dojo rounds, as its removal has also marked the simultaneous closure in advance of the 5th-Grade course of the mode's Nijiiro Year 4 main courses, as its Futsuu mode was selected as the 2nd song. Sure, the ongoing year's main course cycle has started since June's beginning so not that much time was lost on the easiest Dan in comparison to the rest, but it stands more to the point that there's close to NOTHING shielding an arcade-exclusive song's eventual perma-nuking from the franchise's officially-active records!
