Groove of Love (feat. NAMI) [26 ver]

"Drown in it."
Known for its pleasant and intoxicating groove, this track achieved high play counts on TikTok and was featured as a commercial song for the audio streaming app "Spoon". Now, it returns with a fresh voice and a brand-new arrangement.

Originally included in Ryu's 6th album Aspects of Love as a Vocaloid (Hatsune Miku) track, the song will be reborn and released on February 27th as "Groove of Love ('26ver) feat. NAMI", featuring the virtual AI vocalist, NAMI. Interestingly, this track is part of a series of songs from the same period that depict the same female protagonist. Through unadorned and straightforward lyrics, the song captures the delicate emotions swaying in a bittersweet night-set against the backdrop of a midnight bedroom, lingering scents, and abandoned wine glasses.

Ryu, who wrote and composed the track, brought out the song's true appeal by having the AI vocalist sing his original composition. The addictive intro-a seamless blend of J-POP, funk, and house elements-paired with a lyrical and emotional melody, reaches new heights thanks to the alluringly expressive AI vocals that differ distinctly from the original Vocaloid version.

The jacket artwork once again features Moka Komorebi, who serves as the visual muse across several of Ryu's albums. Showing a different facet of her expressions with each release, her presence beautifully complements this poignant tale of a protagonist longing for a temporary "happy ending".
