Lyrics

Got the feelin' I'm goin' insane
Am I dreaming? Is it night or is it day?
Such a sweet thing, makes me wanna say, yeah
Get on up, bring your body this way

Stop it, stop it
Don't try to make me stop it, don't run away
(I just gotta have you, just wanna get closer to you)
Stop it, stop it
Don't try to make me stop it, don't run away
(I just gotta have you, just bring your body to me)
Stop it, stop it
Don't try to make me stop it, don't run away
(I just gotta have you, just wanna get closer to you)
Stop it, stop it
Don't try to make me stop it, don't run away
(I just gotta have you, just bring your body to me)

Baby
Only you, can make me do you, baby
Anyway you want me to
Only you, can shake me, make me
Cry like a baby!

Stop it, stop it
Don't try to make me stop it, don't run away

Song Production Information

beatmania maniac-tracks Booklet

r24bm

Full-fledged Speed Garage from TOMOKI HIRATA.
It features handsome British gentleman J.D. Braithwaite on vocals and unravels into a gorgeous "world of night".
By the way, the UK music production team thought that beatmania was "a soccer game" (why?), and so apparently that's why the song has this title...

beatmania THE FINAL

TOMOKI HIRATA

BODY exudes powerful vocals throughout the whole song.
The year in which it was produced, 1997, was the era of speed garage, the forerunner to the now-popular genre of 2-step.
This song, which I created alongside then-top vocalist JD Braithwaite, was quite novel (at the time), and the innovative sound was my own personal attempt at new UK garage.
I'd like to take this platform to mention my gratitude towards the Bemani sound producers at Konami, and hope I can encounter fans of Bemani again in a new game.
