My own rendition of Shibuya-style soul (?). It samples and arranges a lot of phrases from '60s and '70s free soul and soft rock, so I think you'll enjoy hearing them if they're familiar to you. | |||
=== beatmania completeMIX English site === | |||
==== 9inch version ==== | |||
Groovy soul for all you lovers out there... | |||
==== 12inch version ==== | |||
Is love on your side? | |||

When you say "rock," there's all different kinds. In the same way, the genre of soul is also incredibly broad.<br> | |||
< | From the Southern soul, Philadelphia soul, and Motown of long ago, to the black contemporary, funk, and others that continue to the present day.<br> | ||
But in general, when people say "soul," they're often referring to black musicians from the '60s and '70s like James Brown or Otis Redding.<br> | |||
In the past, The Tunnels had a segment on their show called "Soul Tunnels"; the sound was just like that... to the current generation of old men and women in their late 30s or early 40s who were up to no good back in those days, that sweet sound makes them recall the long-lost days of their youth!<br> | |||
I'm a little younger than that generation, but back when I was in high school, I remember seeing men with afros and women in garish makeup all dancing with the same movements over in Yokohama at what is now called a "cluv" (the accent's on the "v" isn't it...?), back when it was still called a "discotheque" (did you know that!?).<br> | |||
We were still too young to step in, only able to catch mere glimpses of stylishly seductive adults having fun. | |||
[Hiroshi] Takeyasu, who composed the soul track LOVE SO GROOVY for beatmania, is in the same age group as me. When I hear that great song LOVE SO GROOVY, it feels like it expresses the envy and longing from our generation at not being able to spend our youth in such an amazing era.<br> | |||
By the way, the musical mood that LOVE SO GROOVY has can be heard in female vocal groups like The Three Degrees (referred to as "Philadelphia soul") and The Supremes (referred to as "Motown sound"). Those of you who are drawn in by that kind of sound, give them a listen!<br> | |||
''Until next time, have a wonderful BEAT PLAY LIFE.''<br> | |||

==== Original Version ==== | |||
This song appeared in the original beatmania on Stage 4 with HARD mode, but the masterpiece has since been included in various versions with changes to its difficulty level, as 70s-styled soul music, and has become a hit throughout the beatmania series.<br> | |||
A mature female vocalist shows off her powerful singing voice as an instrument.<br> | |||
In recent years, soul music has been overshadowed by the contemporary music scene, but recent American soul music isn't only for people who yearned about that era, even now, there are many passionate fans among young people, and while this song makes you feel old, that passion doesn't fade away. | |||
== | ==== CLUB 2P Version ==== | ||
"LOVE SO GROOVY" contains a break in the middle section, and after a woman's wet and sexy murmur, the final short pause is even more exciting than the original song. Please pay attention to the middle section, which is emphasized more than the original song's breaths by only changing that part. | |||
