Root of Love

is a song by Argonavis.

It was "teased" while AAside gameplay was being shown during [https://youtu.be/rMT_Tz-352s?t=1570 Argonavis from Bang Dream! AAside Navistream Vol.2] on October 25, 2020 and officially confirmed as a song for the game on December 4 of the same year.

It wasn't made public until AAside's release on January 14, 2021; along with the Wataru Matoba focused song quest "Our Root of Love". There, it was described as "Wataru was captivated by a certain bass at the musical instruments-cafe shop that Daimon Kusunoki manages. It's a song full of his feelings towards that instrument".

It is written by Nakamura Kou, arranged by Katayama Toshi and YAS, composed by Hirosawa Yuya, Katayama Toshi and YAS -who were also in charge of all the other instruments and programming-, the guitars were played by Kentaro Fujii (HANO), the bass by Tatsuya Doi (HANO), the piano by Aoki Hironori (HANO), and the drums by Kitamura Nozomu.

It is one of the two coupling tracks for the "Kitto Bokura wa/HIBANA CHIRU" single, which was released on November 17, 2021 and it is also included on the second disc of the Argonavis AAside Memorial Album, which will be released on April 12, 2023.

Kimi ga inakerya uta ni naranai Kore ja marude dekisokonai no RABU SONGU no you sa… Kanji = な出会いさ 息をのむほど美しい 物静かな君が　囁くように唄ってる

艶(つや)やかな声に　心奪われた 気がつけば　我を忘れ 君に夢中になってた 圧く　もっと圧く 刻む Session on my beat 二人だけのリズム追いかけた

少しずつ　少しずつ 君のこと　わかりたいんだ 優しく撫でるように　首筋 Tap and Slap 奏でるよ　何度でも いつか君とわかり合って あたため合えたらいいな 二人の Root of Love

このままじゃ僕は生きられない これじゃまるでオモチャ取られた 少年のようさ…

古い映画みたい 時が静かに流れてく Vintage 相変わらず Low Tone そんな尖った君が好き

飾らない素振り　見惚れていたんだ なぜ君はいつもそんなふうに クールに微笑む 鳴らせ　もっと鳴らせ 今宵 Grooving in my heart このリズム　誰も止められない

いつの世も　同じさ 誰かを愛し続けたい 優しく祈るように　爪弾く Up and Down やり場のない　この気持ち いつか二人　あの未来へ 逃げ出してしまうのも　いいよね Secret Love

君がいなけりゃ唄にならない これじゃまるで出来そこないの ラブソングのようさ…

忘れない　初めて触れた夜 ゆっくり蘇る Laid-Back フレーズはいつも　途切れ途切れだよね だから僕が繋ぐよ

知らぬ間に　こんなにも 心奪われていたんだね 指先で感じてる　一途な Routine Code 奏でるよ　何度でも いつか君とわかり合って あたため合えたらいいな 二人の Bass of Love

君がいなけりゃ唄にならない これじゃまるで出来そこないの ラブソングのようさ… English = A mischievous encounter A breathtakingly beautiful silhouette The quiet you is singing as if you were whispering

I was captivated by your lustrous voice Before I knew it, I lost control of myself And I became addicted to you Pressing more and more passionately A session is engraved on my beat We were chasing our own rhythm

Little by little, little by little I want to understand you Gently caressing the nape of your neck, Tap and Slap I'll play it, again and again One day, we will understand each other I hope we can keep each other warm Our Root of Love

I can't live like this I'm just like A kid whose toy was stolen...

Like an old movie Time flows quietly, Vintage Your usual Low Tone I love that sharpness of yours

I was entranced by your unpretentious demeanor How do you always smile In such a cool manner? Let it resound more and more Grooving in my heart tonight This rhythm that no one can stop

No matter when, it's always the same I want to keep loving someone Strumming like a gentle prayer, Up and Down These bottled-up feelings Someday, we could even run away together Towards that future, couldn't we? Secret Love

Without you, this song couldn't exist This is just like A poorly written love song...

I'll never forget the night I touched you for the first time Slowly coming back to life, Laid-Back Phrases are always disconnected, aren't they? So, I'll connect them for you

Before I knew it, I was this captivated by you I can feel it in my fingertips, a wholehearted Routine Code I'll play it, again and again One day, we will understand each other I hope we can keep each other warm Our Bass of Love

Without you, this song couldn't exist This is just like A poorly written love song...
