celebrate, celebrate
every night's the night
celebrate, we celebrate
what a groovin' night

You wanna fly to the moon in the sky
You wanna shake up your body
wonderland awaits you there
I know you never regret

lookin' for a vision
You don't need to reason
ah, ah
some say you gonna
some say you wanna be there
it's all good

celebrate, celebrate
every night's the night
celebrate, we celebrate
what a groovin' night

knocking on heaven's door
lovely misty serenade it's all there

celebrate, celebrate
every night's the night
celebrate, we celebrate
what a groovin' night...

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

I recall that the image of this song came to me even as soon as I heard it, and then I was puzzled. After all, the singing and performance scenes were the first things that jumped out at me, and the image was then fixed in my mind.
It was unfortunate that we could not shoot such scenes this time due to various reasons, but the dance team, brown sugar, is originally active in the soul and R&B scene, and with the help of this authentic dance, I feel that we managed to finish the film.
The dance and beach scenes were shot in Japan, but I think we were able to get closer to the CLASSIC SOUL image by adding some landscape footage from the U.S. and other countries, and then adjusting the image quality.
