YonYon and others reconstruct Toshinobu Kubota’s “LA・LA・LA LOVE SONG” with an Amapiano arrangement


The music video for the 14th song “LA・LA・LA LOVE SONG × YonYon feat. Gimgigam, Atsushi Inoue (showmore)” has been released by Newtro, a revival music project that reconstructs Japan’s famous masterpieces.

The song that has been revived this time is “LA・LA・LA LOVE SONG,” a huge hit released in 1996 by Toshinobu Kubota, who is known as a pioneer in the Japanese R&B world. This book remains in many people’s memories as the theme song of the Heisei hit drama “Long Vacation”, and is still covered by many artists as a representative song of the 90s, making it a beloved book that transcends eras. DJ/SSW/multi-artist YonYon rearranged the song into Amapiano, a dance music from South Africa.

[YonYon comment]

Nowadays, Japanese city pop as well as old pop songs from the 80’s and 90’s are attracting renewed attention worldwide, and this is a cover of the famous song “LA・LA・LA LOVE SONG” that everyone knows. I’m truly honored to have been able to create it.
The project was to try out a chemical reaction by combining the old and the new, so what would happen if we incorporated the Amapiano, which is currently in season? With the full cooperation of producer Gimgigam and keyboardist Atsushi Inoue, the result was the most emotional dance music.

The music genre called Amapiano has elements of R&B and JAZZ in addition to house music, so it has an affinity with the original song, and the BPM is also impressive, but Japanese pop and South African dance music have grown to this point. It was a new discovery, wondering if it would fit.

I would be happy if the newly reborn, modern “LA・LA・LA LOVE SONG” becomes a song that excites the hearts of many people. Please drop it on the dance floor in the morning!
