'''Love Lab '''(恋の実験室 koi no jikenshitsu "Laboratory of Love") is the nineteenth game of [[Rhythm Heaven]]. The playable main character is a scientist student who has a crush on her senior lab partner, and she, her senior partner and another student are conducting an experiment. When getting a [[perfect]], the [[gift]] "Lab Journal" will be available to read in the [[Café]].

The male scientist student gets a flask tossed to him. He will shake the flask a number of times and toss it to the female student (the character played in the game). The flask must then be shaken the same number of times he shook it by relying on the tone of rhythm in the game. The player then must toss the flask to the other student in the lab. If the flask was shaken correctly and in time, all of the hearts made by both students will be combined and fall into the white bag.
This game concerns the [[Research Scientists of Love Lab]] who are studying the science of love in the lab. The boy receives a flask from off-screen, which he grabs, causing a blue heart to appear. He then tosses it over to the girl (controlled by the player), who must grab the flask, causing a red heart to appear, and toss it over to the [[Mysterious Lab Tech]] in rhythm, who takes the flask away. If done correctly, the hearts connect into pink hearts, which are promptly collected in a bag. Sometimes, the boy shakes the flask, making more hearts appear, before throwing it. The player needs to shake in the same rhythm.
|just=The flask is successfully caught, shaken and thrown. The girl quickly glances at the boy with a blush upon throwing. The hearts combine and fall into the white bag.
==Timing Notes==
|miss=Grabbing the flask too early or too late results in a heart either not coming out or floating away. If throwing the flask too early or late, it causes the hearts to float away even if shaken correctly.{{ref needed}}
*Hit: The flask is grabbed and then tossed to another scientists. The hearts will combine and fall into the white bag once you shake the flask to make more hearts.
|through=The flask isn't grabbed or tossed, instead falling onto the table, shattering. Shaking off the beat does not make any hearts appear. If the player keeps holding the flask when they should throw it, any hearts that were emitted continue floating off-screen. Any unconnected hearts simply disappear in a skull-like vapor.}}
*Barely: Grabbing the flask too early or too late will result in a heart either not coming out or floating away. '''A barely counts as a miss'''.
==Results==
*Miss: The flask is not grabbed or is not tossed, it falls onto the counter and breaks into pieces. If the player holds the flask and does nothing, holds or shakes off beat, their hearts will not combine with the senior lab partner's hearts and float away instead. The senior's hearts, if left uncombined, will dissipate into a skull shaped vapors.

* This game is one of the twenty-two normal games, not returning to the game, [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]].
==Commentary==
The following is commentary given on the STAFF'S VOICE section of the booklet included in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku Zen Kyoku-shu]]''.
* There is a different opening banner in the Japanese version featuring an AIAIgasa (相合傘) which is the act of sharing an umbrella that can be considered romantic in Japanese culture.

* This is only one of four games in [[Rhythm Heaven]]'' ''that only appear in two remixes in the whole entire game which is there original set remix and remix 10.

|[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10236295/ Oguro]: Out of all the games in the DS version, this is my favorite. When the actual game begins, the school building suddenly turns to dusk, and I can't help but feel my heart pounding.
|[[generasia:Tsunku|Tsunku♂]]: This game is really bad (laughs). I shake the flask saying "shukoshuko, hu" (laughs). The background music used in this game is actually [[generasia:Morning Musume|Morning Musume]]. It's a song I kept in stock, thinking that I'd like them to sing it someday. It was a half-finished song, but the melody was really good, and I was going to add the lyrics. So, when I asked for an arrangement for the DS, it came back with an acappella in it, and when I gave it to Nintendo, it turned out to be a very heartbreaking game... I figured why not leave it like that. At first I was going to have the girl sing, but then I thought it would be a bad idea to put lyrics to this song. By the way, who is the one receiving the flask thrown by the girl?
|[[niwanetwork:Masami Yone|Yone]]: The person receiving the flask is a squirrel character. You can see his face in the ending, but I didn't know until I saw that (laughs).

Hm... Good enough... I don't know... I guess that was all right.
