The exotic rhythm captivates our hearts from the moment we play the song.

The vocals are seductive all the time but not sticky. I think the real cool thing about this song is here.

Girl group IVE's "Love Dive" is hard to get tired of no matter how many times I listen to it.

I think the biggest reason is the vocalist's expressionless face-like singing method.

It's called calmly, but it's different from the jazz vocalists who are masters of this style. "Not sticky" is the key to taste.

"Love Dive" is about love, but the object of love is ambiguous.

When I first heard it, I thought it was love for men. However, after listening to it two or three times, a feeling of self-love comes out. The answer is open, giving listeners the fun of interpretation.

I interviewed a real diver 10 years ago.

A French diver was treated as a hero of French free-diving.

Free-diving is a dive that enters the water without the help of equipment such as an air tank and is also called an apnea dive.

It is a sport that requires a life-and-death challenge to human limitations. The diver's personal best, named Christian Maldame, is 7:08.

He holds his breath for more than seven minutes and endlessly sinks into the darkness of the water. The depth is as high as 102 meters.

What depth is 102 meters? It is said that an average person feels pressure on their ears even if they go only four meters into the water. Sensitive people can suffer damage to their eardrums from 5 meters. Is he a human being who goes down 100 meters with his bare body?

Free diving may be the most lonely sport in the world.

I asked Monsieur Maldame. "What joy is there in the deep water?""

He laughed and gave an ambiguous answer, "There are parts that can be explained, and parts that cannot be explained."

"It's hard to believe, but when I hold my breath, I get the pleasure of the moment of apnea. It's the comfort of the baby in the mother's amniotic fluid. When you go down into the water endlessly, you meet the moment when you feel the depth of the depth."

Is there nothing but pleasure in it? No way.

World-class divers also confessed, "Sometimes I'm afraid." Everyone has moments of fear. But you can't run away. We have no choice but to face it head-on. He spoke thus.

Listening to IVE's "Love Dive" reminds me of a conversation with a diver I met.

I jump to you, you jump to me. Love Dive is a dive that goes down and down to the deepest point of the heart with a pin of love stuck in its foot.

IVE's "Love Dive" is a song with a refreshing bass that runs ahead of the drum.

The refreshing feeling of popping in the middle is also wonderful. This may be something like a 'pleasure of the moment of apnea'.

"Hold your breath, love dive".

The temptation of the last whisper is in my ear. Besides, the temptation is so deep and sweet.
