The representative song of a fantastic funk-inspired idol group called Philosophy no Dance (abbreviated Philo no Su in Japanese) or The Dance for Philosophy (abbreviated DFP). Their concept is “funky but chic”, and their lyrics often deal with philosophical concepts.
If you want to learn more about the group, you can check this Twitter!!
Some, but sadly not all of their music is on Spotify, including this song!! But be sure to watch the music video too, because it’s amazing!
ダンス・ファウンダー | Dance Founder
Lyrics: Yamamoto Shou
Composition: Miyano Gento
We've been hearing it for millions of years
This on-beat pierces through our DNA
But right here and now, I want to drum out a little something else
No matter how many thousand times it plays
This off-beat is pleasant in any occasion
Wherever you are right now, that's the center of everything!
If you put your ear
To the broken manual
The sound will resonate, you understand right? This is it
The starting impulse for the two of us
I'll let you dance a brand new dance
You can still keep going, right?
That nostalgic dance isn't enough anymore
There's no wrong steps here
Dance in a way that belongs to no one
Everything changed in just half a century
A question eats up the CPU
I want to leave a mark somewhere besides here
In this century it's super important
To have a philosophy that goes beyond ABC
This idea will live on forever, that's the foundation
Where is the floor?
What is the stage?
We should just break it all, at this point we don't need
Borders on the world!
I'll let you dance a brand new dance
Because I can still keep going
The same old dance isn't enough anymore
It's not "only in the good old days"
Dance in a world nobody knows yet
A brand new dance for you
A brand new dance for you
I'll let you dance a brand new dance
Because I can still keep going
The same old dance isn't enough anymore
I'll let you dance a brand new dance
You can still keep going, right?
That nostalgic dance isn't enough anymore
There's no wrong steps here
Dance in a way that belongs to no one
