Lyrics[]
*The first stanza from the lyrics are not present in the booklet from the pop'n music 20 fantasia Original Soundtrack album.
*On a moonlit night, The figure of you is reflecting in the water's surface like a mirror. I have a dream. Your next meet was an easy race. It is a miracle. I'm here. You seemed to hear. You're aware of me, turned your head round, and gave me a kind smile. Please stay a little longer. Without being noticed, I concealed my emotions by stealth. before waking... I can never stare at you. Therefore I want to approach you. I can never step into you. It goes without saying anymore. That place where I longed for adds to brightness. I see our distance is far so much. Still I pray I want to touch you, reflect me in your eyes sometimes. With that alone it's my dream...

Trivia[]
- MANA is one of the unlockable songs of Phase 4 of pop'n music 20 fantasia's Soreyuke! Pop'n Quest (それゆけ!ポップンクエスト?) event. It could be unlocked from May 23rd, 2012.
- As of October 1st, 2012, it is available by default.
- MANA is ERi's first song in pop'n music since pop'n music 14 FEVER!'s High School Love.
- MANA is the first pop'n music song to receive voiced commentary, as opposed to a traditional paragraph (or longer) comment on the official site like new pop'n music songs typically do. DJ YOSHITAKA and PON provide the 2:25 long commentary, during which the entire song plays (it actually loops due to the length of the commentary).
- Much like SHION, MANA is the second DJ YOSHITAKA song to have a character namesake.
- MANA is also one of the songs to contain characters with their namesakes.
- MANA is available as of November 25th, 2021 in pop'n music Lively as part of the pop'n music Lively Music Pack vol.4 (pop'n music Lively 楽曲パック vol.4?).
Song Production Information[]
This song received an audio comment from composer DJ YOSHITAKA. We hope you enjoy the uneasy feeling between the two people. ※In the latter-half, DJ YOSHITAKA says "Ta-u-"... His saying means "a sung song".

The spinning background noise sounds like a whirlpool or splashes, and sounds cool!
An image of swimming in a torrent comes to my mind.
が~す~[]
The high-speed feeling is impressive! The guitar at the end is especially cool! Everyone, please love it as well.

I'm impressed that shio worked very hard...
It feels like there weren't many young female characters who were fully wholehearted~
From the moment you start walking, you'll be moved by various flashback scenes!
TAMA[]
This is a moist, steady, cool, and sad song.
I'm looking forward to his next upper song.

Yoshi-kun seems to be the most busy man in the BEMANI world now.
It was very difficult for him in many ways, but in the end, he created a nice song, with a water splash.
I wasn't going to repay him, but I didn't create a song for limelight.
I'm sorry!!!
まめしば[]
This is the second mermaid song.
It feels like KIRARA is a bright idol mermaid, but MANA feels like she has a dark side. But, she's nice.
I like the end of the chorus.
Let's all feel excited!
