Planning, Graphics: Coconuts Japan?

Someone from Crosstalk confirmed the company's involvement. A former Taito staffer thought the first Bakushou!! Jinsei Gekijou was planned by outside company "C (Pachio-kun line)," but they didn't know the details because the game was made before they joined the company. Graphics look like Coconuts'.
