It bugs me whenever newer versions of Flapper Girl leave out the segment after 1:15. Even the GBA OG games had it, so I wonder why that part keeps getting left out when it's such a catchy segment. I know it wasn't part of the original, but it's odd that it was trimmed back unlike the rest that tend to evolve.
The GBA OG games seemed to have specifically the Alpha arrangements of all the Masoukishin songs like Cybuster's theme as well, then went back to the Lord of Elemental versions for the console remake. It's a weird little outlier for sure.
How come the "Song" version of this I found here on RU-vid doesn't quite sound like this. I'm thinking the vocals are throwing me off, or maybe it's the song version's "slower tempo"?
Yeah, it looks like 'Ryuune' is a real Japanese name, but I'm with you on 'Lune'. It's a bit of a no-brainer localization. I think other fans reject it just to be edgy or look cool to the Japanese fans.
