Thrilling! Is this love?
Thrilling! Is this love? (ドキッ ! こういうのが恋なの？?, Doki! Kō iu no ga koina no?) (also stylized as Thrilling! Is This Love? in Lyrics Card 1) is the song used in Fan Club and Fan Club 2 in Rhythm Heaven and Rhythm Heaven Megamix. The song was written and composed by TSUNKU, the 1cho Ver arranged by Yuichi Takahashi and the Arrange Version arranged by Koichi Yuasa, performed by Eri~na from Canary CLUB in Japanese, Lorea Ferris Dandoy in English, Jessy Roussel in French, Mai Hahne in German, Costanza Rufo in Italian, Vanessa Cebrian in Spanish and an unknown singer in Korean.
The song (specifically the Fan Club 2 arrangement) was released as part of Canary CLUB's album ② Eejanaika (②エエジャナイカ?, ②Eejanaika) on August 26, 2009 in Japan. It was performed live by NICE GIRL PROJECT! during their 2008 Emotional Live ~Miracle Sexy Dynamite~ and 2009 Summer Live ~Nice Vacation!~ tours.
The song was later performed live in Rhythm Tengoku: The Uta Matsuri+, once to show the new singer Ari~sa (this version being used for Fan Club in the game) and a second time to show the New Arrange Version, arranged by Kaoru Okubo[1], which was used in Fan Club 2 in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
While Ari~sa's performance replaced the original in Japanese, the other languages kept their original recordings. The New Arrange Version was also edited in a lower key outside of the Japanese version to match the original arrangement.

| ドキッ！こういうのが恋なの？ ／ あり～さ | Thrilling! Is this love? / Ari~sa |
| 作詞：つんく 作曲：つんく 編曲：大久保薫 （※新アレンジバージョン） | Lyrics: Tsunku Composition: Tsunku Arrangement: Kaoru Okubo (*New Arrange Version) |
| さて、この曲は前作の「リズム天国ゴールド」の中でも評判だったゲームの曲ですが、そのリアレンジバージョンとして今回投入することとなりました。 | Actually, this song is from a popular game in the previous "Rhythm Heaven" game, and we decided to introduce it as a rearranged version. |
| どの辺りでこの曲が登場するのか、楽しみにしていてほしいですが、このニューバージョンはかなりテンション高いです。 | I hope you look forward to seeing where this song will appear, but this new version is quite intense. |
| ビートも過去最高の細かさで、縦に押し出すビート感もかなり強いです。 | The beat is also the most detailed ever, with a very strong sense of a beat pushing out vertically. |
| ゲーム自体はきっとそんなに難しくないかもしれません。 | The game itself may not be that difficult. |
| 曲の中に入り込んでボタンを押せば自ずとクリア出来るからです。 | After all if you get into the song and press the buttons, it will clear itself. |
| 唄を歌う「あり～さ」の声も独特でおっとり聞こえるんですが、でも、立ち上がりは悪くなく、声にも魅力があるのでつい聞き入ってしまいます。 | The voice of "Ari~sa" who sings the song also sounds unique and calm, but her rise is not bad, and her voice has a certain charm that makes me want to listen to her. |
| この曲の存在意義みたいな事を歌手本人がすごく理解しているんだと思います。 | I think the singer herself really understands the significance of this song. |
| なぜなら単に「可愛く歌おう」というようなそういう小賢しい演出なしで、しっかりこの曲を理解し歌っているので、力強く、スピード感があってすごく格好いいです。 | Because they understood and sang this song without any clever attempts to make it cute, it was powerful, fast, and very cool. |
| この曲に出会えるまでこのゲームを楽しんでくださいね！ | I hope you enjoy the game up to this song! |
