Lyrics

Original

You know always I wanna be
You know always I wanna be with you
You know always I wanna be
You know always I wanna be with you

I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you

Comme une Bossa Nova
Imposante, triste et belle
Un peintre pleure dans le brouillard de la nuit
Comme une insomnie

Corazón
C'est à toi que je pense
Et dans mes rêves,
Je suis en transes tu sais
Avec toi

YOU CAN DANCING AND GROOVING ALL NIGHT LONG
LET GET EVERYBODY DANCE NOW
CAN YOU FEEL?
I JUST WANNA HERE GOOD BEAT ON A ROLL DJ MOVES ME

Translation


You know always I wanna be
You know always I wanna be with you
You know always I wanna be
You know always I wanna be with you

I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you

Like a Bossa Nova
Imposing, sad and beautiful
A painter cries in the fog of night
Like an insomnia

My love,
I think about you
And in my dreams
I am in fright you know
With you

YOU CAN DANCING AND GROOVING ALL NIGHT LONG
LET GET EVERYBODY DANCE NOW
CAN YOU FEEL?
I JUST WANNA HERE GOOD BEAT ON A ROLL DJ MOVES ME

Song Production Information

Togo of "Togo Project"

Long ago, back when I was in high school (10 years ago), a "club" was nothing more than a high-class bar in Ginza where middle-aged men would go to drink. Meanwhile, we would call a hangout (is this a dead word?) either a "disco," or a "desko" in an accented voice. Those were the days...

Back then, the colorful (?) performance art called "scratching" wasn't a thing. When you said the word "DJ," it described someone whose main duty was to tirelessly transition between songs one after another. The thing that's different from now, though, is during song transitions (or other times), they would "MC" (perform a rapid-fire monologue) to stir up the crowd. (On modern song shows like 'THE NIGHT OF HIT PARADE', they do a monologue before the singer stars, right? It's something kind of like that.)
A DJ who was skilled at that could really get the crowd excited, surrounding the floor with a sense of unity like a concert hall.
Also, clubs nowadays tend to put themselves into boxes, like "here's techno, there's hip-hop, that's enka (if that even exists, anyway)." Back then, though, a "disco" was precisely what you'd call a potpourri of genres, a GOTTAMIX if you will (Yum! I can't help myself). All you had to do was dance the night away. Shinjuku back then had numerous buildings consisting entirely of discos. One of them had a disco called Canterbury House: Greek Hall on the first floor (I'm gonna cry! I can't help myself). Here, there were no odd biases, pretenses, or embarrassment with the music they played; they played any and all songs from Japanese artists at the time, one after another. When the floor's enthusiasm reached its peak, things would happen, like a dude putting his friend on his shoulders and dancing around (I'm not sure why, now that I think about it), or people naturally forming circles with strangers in spite of the embarrassment. Even though modern kids show their enthusiasm in an individualistic (?) and self-absorbed way, that's fine in its own way, but my era was peaceful and brought a smile to my face!

We also had something called "cheek time" (!) back then, where they would just play ballad songs a few times throughout the night. All of us who were still so young would head into this time with our hearts and other places (?) swollen with anticipation. Even now, when I hear the sweet soulful ballads of the time, from artists like Diana Ross or The Stylistics, my little old heart fills with bittersweet feelings.

'NONSTOP MEGAMIX' from GOTTAMIX is a megamix of hit tunes from the first beatmania up to 3rdMIX, strung together nonstop. In between songs, Seigo "M" Takei from music shows like the DOWNTOWN-hosted 'HEY!HEY!HEY!' lends his familiar voice to perform some MCs.

Perhaps I just wanted to use this remix to look back on the "good old days" that you don't often experience in modern clubs...
