    Midnight Pretenders(1983) / TOMOKO ARAN
    Lyrics: Tomoko Aran,
    Composed by Tetsuro Oda, Arranged by Masatoshi Nishimura
    Produced by Daiko Nagato & Masatoshi Nishimura (ex-FENCE OF DEFENSE)
    Included in her third album "Floating in Space (FUYU KUKAN)" (released on May 28, 1983).
    (English translation of the rough meaning of the Japanese lyrics)
    Midnight pretenders
    I trace my finger over the mole on your back as you sleep next to me, and tears well up in my eyes.
    Uneasy heart (Uneasy heart)
    You sleep next to me, breathing softly, devouring sleep like a fish tired of swimming in the sea.
    How much I love you
    The boat with the two of us on board is sailing through the night.
    Where on earth will we drift to tomorrow?
    Every time I wish Monopolize your love
    You're the traveler who never tells me where we're going
    Every time I wish That you would be
    I want all of you I want you to be mine
    Midnight pretenders
    Hiding in the dark of night, we share a brief, warm moment
    Secret love
    The morning light creeping in the window hastens our separation
    And always after our rendezvous, it's a sad time my heart aches, Say goodbye
    As if I were sinking deep into the depths of the ocean with words I can't say to you
    I can only chew my lip alone in the loneliness of your leaving me behind
    Every time I wish Monopolize your love
    You are a lover who does not promise me our future
    Every time I wish That you would be mine
    I want all of you I want you to be mine
    The ship that carries us is sailing through the night
    Where will we drift to tomorrow?
    Every time I wish Monopolize your love
    You are the traveler who doesn't tell where our future will take us
    Every time I wish That you would be mine
    Every time I wish That you would be mine
    (That you would be mine)

    This is a real masterpiece. I don't know why but I'm feeling a great sense of belonging in City Pop time. Feels like I had memories left in the 80's though I was born after City Pop boom.

    • @ninijo1234
      @ninijo1234 2 года назад +3

      Maybe it’s because our parents grew up in the 80s and vibing to these songs and we were still a tiny cell in them 😂😂😂😂😂. If not either that we grew up listening to their fav tracks so it’s imprinted memories from childhood 😅

      By the sounds of it, I wouldn't say she sampled it. The instrumentation is too different for it to be straight up sampled. Now, my guess is some parts of it was simply inspired by it, as some trace parts do sound a bit similar
