Brazil, as it turns out, is the birthplace of bossa nova. It's said to have originated in Ipanema, located in southern Rio de Janerio. This genre of latin music originally developed from samba, borrowing its intense rhythms and putting emphasis on the harmonies between the instruments and vocals.

Because I created the song myself, I didn't have to struggle gathering material to do commentary. "Bossa" is an abbreviated way of saying "bossa nova" used by jazz musicians. Why did I label it as "BOSSA GROOVE" instead of just "BOSSA NOVA" when I put the song in beatmania?


None.
That's because native bossa nova is generally sung with a trailing, whispering voice while strumming a gut guitar (nylon strings) with a pick... the genre isn't really one that would be played at a club (any cutting-edge DJs out there want to try?), and also because it's quite difficult to put it into a music game where you're fiercly carving beats (recently in Japan it seems they call them "kurabu ge-mu" ["club games"], or "kurage" for short... kinda looks like the word for jellyfish [kurage], how gloomy [暗気ー] (this one came up during kanji conversion!)... sorry for all the double parentheses).<br>
That's where I sped up the tempo, emphasized the beats, gave it a "Shibuya style, bossa nova family, lounge genus, French pop species, club branch" (???) nonsensical feel to it, then arranged it so that it works when playing the game.<br>
One more reason I didn't just name it "bossa nova" is that I personally love the genre, which is why I made do with an unassuming name like "bossa groove" due to a feeling of reverence toward native bossa nova musicians. Sorry to those pursuing that path... I was careless... I messed up, please come back, Yoshiko...


==Song Production Information==
As for artists who represent the genre, I can't go without mentioning Antônio Carlos Jobim, the father of bossa nova. Even the world-famous [Ryuichi] Sakamoto has cited Jobim as an artist who influenced him. Of the ones who are Japanese, songstress Lisa Ono is well-known. Brazilian music, not just bossa nova, is endlessly beautiful and deep. Among those I know: Dorival Caymmi; Caetano Veloso; Milton Nascimento; among many others. Bands like Os Mutantes, whom I listened to some time ago, have a Brazilian psychedelic soft rock feel to them, which was incredibly interesting.

Working in a job like this where I'm immersed in music, sometimes I get to where, no exaggeration, I absolutely don't want to hear any sounds outside of work, not even the sound of a television or refrigerator noise, much less some guy in the middle of a train who's got sounds rattling out of his Walkman and should be put to death! But relaxing, native music like Brazilian or Hawaiian is different. Not to the point where I get engrossed listening to it, but to where I could drink a good sake just playing it.<br>
When you get to the latter half of your 20s, the correct way to live as an adult is to graduate from "Euro" or "blasting beat music" and enjoy bossa nova! ... and don't get into enka music, either! (I'm lying. Listen a lot to whatever you like, OK?)

Un, deux, trois, c'est un amour groovy
Personne ne peut me le prendre
C'est comme une toute petite mélodie

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

English

One, two, three, it's a groovy love
No one can take it away
It's like a really tiny melody

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
