==== dj nagureo ====
In this Soul Classic song produced by dj nagureo, complex horn sections and soulful vocals make you feel nostalgic.<br>
I was surprised to have learned about a player who happens to be an acquaintance of the artist involved, JJ COMPANY is a very high-profile staff member. The fancy arrangement makes it interesting for games as well.<br>
beatmania takes a step into the '70s with this song, who knows what else the future holds?
 
=== DanceDanceRevolution ===
The dance scene in the '70s was dominated by soul music, that took the funky parts of stoically evolved funk and sublimated them into pop music.<br>
If you're familiar with the dance scene of that era, you'll find it hard to believe that this is the first time you've heard celebrate.<br>
The band, which seems to have almost 20 members, the light percussion, the Earth, Wind & Fire-like brass riffs, and the male and female choruses singing in falsettos (back voices), all of these characteristics are well captured in the latest "hot-selling" phrases of that time. Between the music genres of beatmania, which have a wide range of the latest music, one can suddenly feel the history of dance music itself.

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.<br>
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.<br>
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.
