Song Production Information
beatmania
This song is based on a song (luv luv reggae) from a prize machine we previously developed, Miracle Spin. When creating the song, an old reggae man began to brainwash me, so I doodled him on the corner of some stationery and MIZKING fleshed him out. The original lyrics were written by me.

DanceDanceRevolution
Throughout the worldwide music scene, reggae, which originated in Jamaica with its unique and overnight rhythms, has sublimated and evolved into various forms, starting in the United Kingdom, and becoming an important music genre in the dance scene.
This song has the most basic Jamaican-styled form among others, and is an easy-to-understand pop song introduction to reggae, a minor genre in Japan.
The main backbeat rhythm needs no further explanation, the bright and husky vocals in the ragamuffin-styled hip hop rap has a completely different nuance in this song, which can be enjoyed freely.
Reggae is a music genre with a tropical cheerfulness.
