Lyrics

Look in
To my eyes

Look into my eyes
And you will see
Look deep into my eyes
And you will see the real me
Oh baby
Reach deep into my soul
And you will see real love I know
Oh baby

I'm for real
About the way I feel
I don't have no doubts
Just want to shout out now
I'm for real
About the way I feel
It's just a matter of time
And you will be all mine

na-na-na-na
na-na-na-na
na-na-na-na
na-na-na-na
na-na-na-na
na-na-na-na
na-na-na-na
na-na-na-na

Look deep into my eyes
And you will feel the real me
Oh baby
Search deep into my heart
And you will see the fire burnin' from the start
Oh baby

I'm for real
About the way I feel
I don't have no doubts
Just want to shout out now
I'm for real 
About the way I feel
It's just a matter of time
And you will be all mine

Trivia

I'M FOR REAL's old banner.
  • I'M FOR REAL received a BEGINNER chart in Dancing Stage Fever (PS2).
  • Before DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA, the DanceDanceRevolution games credited I'M FOR REAL's artist to just SLAKE.
  • I'M FOR REAL was still present in the location test of DanceDanceRevolution X, with its new foot ratings.
  • I'M FOR REAL was one of the two only KONAMI original songs by Takehiko Fujii that was not revived in beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS, the other being LOVE IS DROWING.
  • According to VJ GYO, both I'M FOR REAL and CHECKING YOU OUT were supposed to have live-action videos. At the end, though, he was forced to go CG for both of them.

Song Production Information

SLAKE

An exciting new movement is currently happening in London, it's called 2STEP (UK Garage).
It's a hybrid of genres including HOUSE, DRUM'N'BASS, REGGAE, and TECHNO.
Please play the game if you're interested, as it's difficult to explain with words.
Perhaps it's unique that a 2STEP song is included in DX, since this track resembles a 4-beat breakbeat house song.

CS Information Data

DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution- / DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME CS (America)

"I'M FOR REAL" by SLAKE. This song is based on "2-Step," a relatively new dance music genre that combines R&B/soul with drum'n'bass-styled breaks.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

If you visit the house section of a store selling imported CDs, there are 2 (TWO) STEP songs like this everywhere.
It's similar to when DRUM'N'BASS became popular, and I noticed that this 2STEP rhythm was incorporated in many J-POP songs.
I'm certain this genre will be prevalent in the future, but I hope "I'M FOR REAL" will be the first 2STEP rhythm you enjoy listening to... It'll be very nice if the song also piques your curiosity in the genre.
I intended for the song's image to be modern and stylish in the movie, and wanted to showcase the "newness" of the rhythm called 2STEP. I designed a basic still-frame as if a CD jacket of this song was created, unlike my previous production strategies.
Well, to divert from SLAKE's previous hard-styled image tracks, I emphasized on "softness" by moving the female character to synchronize with the song's opening lyrics.
I really wanted to make a live-action video, but various circumstances led to a CG character being used as usual...
