    English Translation + Romanji:
    Love is a prism made of fantasy
    So we should be reborn
    The past is a revolving door leading to only you
    The night is a prism made of fantasy
    Now we’ll light up the town like a rainbow
    As I’m dancin’ in your arms
    We’ll coast out of the booming city
    And the stars that stud the sky will be our disco lights
    Our night starts now
    Even though I had forgotten the magic of winter
    Ever since the last time I was unlucky in love
    Love is a prism made of fantasy
    So we should be reborn
    The past is a revolving door leading to only you
    The night is a prism made of fantasy
    Now we’ll light up the town like a rainbow
    As I’m dancin’ in your arms
    Sequins are carried in the night breeze at Bay City
    If I take off my fur coat
    I want to go to a bar all decorated like a Christmas tree
    And dance until dawn
    It’s all so different from yesterday
    When I believed I’d never love again
    Love is a prism made of fantasy
    So we should be reborn
    The past is a revolving door leading to only you
    The night is a prism made of fantasy
    Now we’ll light up the town like a rainbow
    As I’m dancin’ in your arms

    Love’s a prismatic fantasy
    I feel like I can be a brand new person
    My past’s a revolving door that leads to you
    The night’s a prismatic fantasy
    Shining rainbows on the two of us
    I’m Dancin’ in the arms of someone new now
    Our car glides out of the brilliant city
    Party lights strewn with stars
    Here’s where our night together begins
    I’d forgotten all about how things twinkle in the winter
    After I had my heart broken then
    Love’s a prismatic fantasy
    I feel like I can be a brand new person
    My past’s a revolving door that leads to you
    The night’s a prismatic fantasy
    Shining rainbows on the two of us
    I’m Dancin’ in the arms of someone new now
    The sequined night winds blow through the Bay City
    I wanna take my furs off
    And dance the night away with you
    Somewhere where they’ve got a Christmas tree up
    Yesterday I believed I’d never love anyone ever again
    But now things are different
    Love’s a prismatic fantasy
    I feel like I can be a brand new person
    My past’s a revolving door that leads to you
    The night’s a prismatic fantasy
    Shining rainbows on the two of us
    I’m Dancin’ in the arms of someone new now

    love is a prism of fantasy
    so i should be reborn
    the past is a revolving door that keeps on following you
    night is a prism of fantasy
    the two in luminating prismatic colors
    now among the new arms i'm dancing
    we're sliding out of the city in our car
    abundant lights sprinkled with the stars
    here begins the night of the two
    after losing in love that one time
    i forgot how dazzling the winter is
    love is a prism of fantasy
    so i should be reborn
    the past is a revolving door that keeps on following you
    night is a prism of fantasy
    the two in luminating prismatic colors
    now among the new arms i'm dancing
    bay city's overnight's breeze studded with sequins
    sewn fur
    decoration store with christmas tree ornaments
    i want to dance until morning
    "i'll never love again"
    is what i belived in yesterday
    love is a prism of fantasy
    so i should be reborn
    the past is a revolving door that keeps on following you
    night is a prism of fantasy

    Where is she now?
    Meiko originally wanted to be an idol like Akina Nakamori. She appeared on an audition program, but unfortunately she was not selected and gave up on becoming an idol once and for all. She then entered a music school where she studied composition and she became an outstanding singer-songwriter. In this way, Meiko has the ability to open up her own life on her own. Therefore, it can be considered that her current state of completely staying away from the media is also due to her strong will. She was aiming to be an idol, so maybe she doesn't want to expose her current appearance to the world. I can assure you that no matter what she is now, my respect for her will not change in the slightest.

    Esta canción la escucha a mucho en mi viaje a Japón en 1985, me acuerdo que estaba de moda animes como Dirty Pair, en el que por cierto Meiko había interpretado su intro de entrada y de salida y otras series como captain tsubasa, cobra, urusei Yatsura o cat's eyes

      akshually, City Pop is different from JPop, City Pop got it's name because it reminds people of life in an urban area
      or maybe I misread the Wikipedia page of City Pop
