Young Love Rock 'n' Roll

Young Love Rock 'n' Roll (明るいロケンロー^?, Akarui Rock'n'Roll) is the song used in Frog Hop in Rhythm Heaven and Rhythm Heaven Megamix. The song was written and composed by TSUNKU, arranged by Yuichi Takahashi, performed by Ochama in Japanese, Brad Holmes in English, Dominique Chagnon in French, Benjamin Franklin in German, Luca Ceccatelli in Italian, Iker Alvarez in Spanish and an unknown singer in Korean.

Commentary

The following is commentary given on the STAFF'S VOICE section of the booklet included in Rhythm Tengoku Zen Kyoku-shu.

Japanese	Translation
小黒　「明るいロケンロー」を歌ってるのは、実はつんく♂です。	Oguro: The person singing "Young Love Rock 'n' Roll" is actually Tsunku♂-san.
つんく♂　田舎もんのロカビリーなんですけどね。だからちょっと訛っつてるんです（笑）。でも、歌ったときは「カラテ家」のようなゲームに入るイメージだったんです。まさか、カエルが何匹も出てきて、ケツをふりふりするとはねえ。だから、最初見たときは、笑いが止まらなかったです。それに、タッチペンをはじいて、カエルがクルッとターンするところが、音にピッタリ合っていて、非常に気持ちよかったですね。	Tsunku♂: I'm a country rockabilly singer. That's why I have a bit of an accent (laughs). But when I sang it, I had an image of entering a game like "Karate Man". I never thought that many frogs would come out and shake their butts. I couldn't stop laughing when I first saw it. And the way the frogs turn around when I flicked the stylus was a perfect match with the sound, and it was very pleasing.
米　メスガエルが「ハッハアーイ」と言ってますけど、実は僕の声です（笑）。音程を変えただけで、メスガエルの声になるんですね。	Yone: The female frog says "Hah haaai", but it's actually my voice (laughs). Just by changing the pitch, it becomes the voice of a female frog.

The following is commentary given on the Tsunku♂ Official Blog.
