Interview with Sumiko Shindou

What did you think about the second ending, "Moonlight Love"?

Shindou

When I was first told to make it with the "image of Inoue Yosui's 'Yume no Naka e' ", I interpret it as a major-style and laid-back song. The highlight is Misao Nanjou singing, which is full of misconceptions (laughs). It feels that... when that ojou-sama is singing a song, it's definitely not going to be normal. I asked for the lyricist to use words that you don't hear often. For example, "full of sex appeal" (O-iroke Munmun) and "the answer is nonon, nonon" (Henji wa nonon nonon).

Trick to Understand Moonlight Love with Shin Oonuma

I think this influenced the openings as well, but Pani Poni has the overall impression of being pop, so I thought “I’ll create something that’s pop in my way”... When I was considering about the word "pop", the fancy goods that girls seem to like came to mind, and from there I arrived at playing cards. One reason is that with playing cards you can change the pictures each time. However, that alone would’ve had a low impact, so we figured to include slightly adult-targeted tarot cards to first and last part of the ending.

Editor's comment: Due to the number of postcards sent by fans having increased, Director Shinbo proposed to use fans’ postcards for several scenes in “Moonlight Love”.
