Lyrics

Come on and dance tonight 
you're gonna feel all right 
when you dance the night away.

Come on and dance tonight 
you're gonna feel all right 
when you dance the night away.

Feel the swing and let yourself go.
Dance the music all night long.
Feel the rhythm let your body groove now!!

Come on let's get it on 
dance to the music all night long
shake your booty to the left 
shake it really high 
and everybody scream alright!!

You can dance real free if you just 
feel the music's energy.

You got to feel that beat.
So come on baby dance with me now.

We're gonna dance all night just wait and see 
all night long you and me.
Wait and see!

Come on and dance tonight 
you're gonna feel all right 
when you dance the night away.

Come on and dance tonight 
you're gonna feel all right 
when you dance the night away.

Feel the swing and let yourself go.
Dance the music all night long.
Feel the rhythm let your body groove now!!
Yeah!!

I made this song for MAMBO A GO GO with the theme being "dazzling '70s disco!"
I'm very happy that everyone has the chance to replay it in beatmania.
The song will make you want to puff out your chest, throw your head back, and raise your hands up high with a pose that says "Fever!"
All while wearing platform shoes, bellbottom pants, a sequin jacket, massive sunglasses, and an afro on your head.
Everyone, please play it and have fun!

KAZUHIRO SENOO

I heard the sound director TOMOSUKE say "we cannot miss the dazzling '70s disco, right?", so I created this song. It was unexpectedly addictive, and I quickly made it. The vocalist MANNY also created a perfect, atmospheric feeling to it. I later added a backing chorus to make it even more atmospheric.

Kazuhiro Senoo

Hello everyone. Dance the night away incorporates as much of '70s disco music taste as possible, and I aimed to create this song to be "extremely disco!". While I composed it, a mirror ball was completely spinning round and round in my mind, and I completely entered that world. By the way, the occasionally appearing chorus in the middle of this song is by a virtual chorus group, which I created by fully editing waveforms, due to the limited budget & approaching deadline. But, it was fine when I completed it. With a fever fever feeling, doesn't it feel good?! It seems so.
I sincerely hope that everyone enjoys playing this song. Yay!

This unique and wow~ atmosphere is mysterious. It feels groovy~ to comfortably ride the rhythms. Was it similar to the rhythm of your heart?
But, was this a fast song back then? (The songs from my grandfather's era were calmer.) The current poppers have fast processing speeds with their high-end CPUs. Where will humans probably go? I tried to quickly think about such things.
Let's all occasionally lower the HI-SPEED without looking at the notecharts, and groove to the 4-beat rhythms by ourselves.

This tempo! Even though I intended to accurately play it, my GOOD GOOD score doesn't improve at all. Since I played this song many times for some reason, I wish I could clear it a bit more... boo-hoo.
As shio said, I wonder if I should lower the HI-SPEED and do special training. Although all the team appears to use HI-SPEED 3 for BPM200 songs, I can't see the crammed pop-kun unless it's 4....

It's bitter~, it's extremely bitter!
How bitter is it?
It's really bitter~

... But! That's right

Des-ROW

I'm sure this song is, hmm.. it appeared in beatmania Final.
It's so nostalgic, that whenever I forget something, it makes me want to listen to it, guhehe.
That's why I should GOGO to a DISCO.

TOMOSUKE

Senoo, I was poor back when I first joined this company, but he even lent me money and assisted me.
I'm happy that Senoo's song will be included here, and I'm also happy another of his songs was rescued.

Although it's said that a Fever Warrior protects the peace of a disco, before the hero could do anything, this song has a lot of fever, and was therefore appropriate to open the event.
From such a very high quality disco style, this guilty song gives me the faint expectation "Wow! What kind of fever will successively happen in the future?". Whether or not it subsequently answers those expectations through fever.
Come to think of it, during the pop'n 8 mambo festival, this song was nominated as a candidate until the end,and I'm filled with emotion that this song is finally able to be included after 4 years, due to the timing of being blocked by several walls of songs.
Although it's difficult to realize, I'd like Senoo to create a bitter and cool pop'n song someday.
