Research Scientists of Love Lab

The Research Scientists of Love Lab (恋の研究員達?, Koi no Kenkyū-in-tachi) are a group of researchers who appear in Love Lab in Rhythm Heaven. In their lab, they try to learn more about the mysterious concept of love. The first two members, a boy and a girl, perform the experiment by catching and throwing flasks in rhythm, with the third, known as the Mysterious Lab Tech (実験室のあやしい人?, Jikken-shitsu no Ayashī Hito), being there to catch the flasks upon completion, as well as always wearing a costume for fun[1].

Story

The girl keeps a Lab Journal detailing the events when she joins the lab.

On October 1st, after graduating from university, she begins working at the Love Lab. She is very excited to be working on something so important.

On October 2nd, she summarizes the day as "totally uneventful", aside from meeting her senior lab partner, who is her type.

On October 3rd, she notices there was another person next to them who wears a weird costume, and she is unsure if it's a guy or a girl. She notes the costume isn't creepy, just weird.

On October 7th, the person in the costume (who she confirmed is a guy) asks her to help him with an experiment on the next day. While she accepts, she is a little freaked out by the costume.

On October 8th, she goes to a special lab with the costumed person and realizes she is going to be experimenting together with her senior lab partner. As she is busy with the experiment, this is the last journal entry. She is happy however that she gets to spend time with her senior lab partner.

The research scientists appear in Remix 4, where they seem to be conducting their experiments at a park. They can also be seen in the audience in Battle of the Bands and in Munchy Monk in Rhythm Heaven Fever, where they can be seen out the window. They appear in Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic 03 実験室の放課後の巻き (After school at the Laboratory by Maki), where the girl is planning on asking her crush to walk home with her. She hears footsteps. Thinking her crush is coming, she jumps out, asking her question, only to see the Mysterious Lab Tech standing in front of her. After this embarrassing attempt, she tries again the next day, this time confessing her love. This time, she accidentally asks DJ Yellow's student (her crush is standing behind him, looking very confused). The boy and the girl later appear in Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic 09 にぎやかでおだやかな夜の巻き (A lively and peaceful night by Maki), where they are seen on a date on a park bench.

Trivia

  • While the translation of the Lab Journal is mostly consistent across languages, for some reason the events on October 3rd are noted as October 6th in the German version of Rhythm Paradise[2].
