Nice job. When I read "Tomoko Aran" in the credits of "Out Of Time" I couldn't believe it until I heard that he had sampled the song "Midnight Pretenders".
What is amazing to think, is that Tomoko Aran is still alive, and I can only imagine how amazing it's been to have her song as a massive staple of the boom of City Pop in recent years, and now with The Weeknd sampling it
I was on the opposite side though, I listened to Out of time before Midnight Pretenders. And when youtube randomly played Midnight Pretenders, I was waiting to sing along "There's so much in my life". However, that was different. I felt amazed; and immediately, i searched and knew that Abel used Arans' sample 😅😅😅😅
Questioning this cheap ass sampling he made that doesn't even fit his vocal style after creating an original masterpiece like Blinding Lights is not "gatekeeping".
Oh wow! When J Pop is inspired by Black music all along, and now The Weeknd sampled a J Pop classic! Music really connects the world. Meanwhile, this Japanese song ain't even the Original, it's a copy of an older black R&B classic " Yearning for Your Love" by The Gap Band.
Omg finally someone else knows the same!! So many 80s Japanese funk and soul inspired by Black American Soul and Funk all along. Full circle!! yet city pop seems so made with care and attentiveness to every note/beat. That’s why I love city pop so much too. 💞
I remember listening to the Weeknd a few weeks ago and out of time came up for the first time. First time I heard it. I heard the intro and was like ah ok city pop now ok....then heard him singing. I had to stop and check to see what was going on. And yep he sampled this. Two of my favorite things the weekend and citypop together. Awesome mix btw
I absolutely adore Tomoko Aran and i hugely respect Abel as an artist as well as his music, it's just a shame that all these classics get mixed together with modern works and don't get the recognition they deserve individually, and that other modern artists do the same as this song but just take most of the old song instead of really sampling it (Katy Perry and Niki Minaj do thisfor example) Either way this song at least is good, and props to Abel for crediting Tomoko Aran instead of just taking her song for granted.
I can’t believe fuyu kukan came out around the time Thriller did!! The album art is ahead of its time and the music finally in the limelight after decades ❤️
When I heard Out of time on the radio I almost lost my shit when I heard Midnight pretenders. ;-; I want more artists using these city pop beats more, PLS!!!
I like what you did here but this could definitely be mixed better. A few parts where both songs overlapped sounded really off. They both have different rhythms and their own flow, so it started to sound crazy at times.
Nice job.

Yesssss
Abel is definitely a man of culture.. maybe he scours the alleys and nooks of RUclips citypop and synthwave channels to chill in his spare time.
Kissland probably inspired him
I've seen his account like a pretty niche edited version of one of his songs. He's definitely not unaware of his fans.
@@j_oe6919 Think was more OPM ( big part of the album) . He is on the vaporwave/synthwave/etc wave.
he lived in Japan for a while when he created Kiss Land so i think that played a role
I guarantee this was 100% Oneohtrix Point Never's idea. dude literally created vaporwave 10 years ago, he obviously knows the shit
first time hearing Out Of Time was like, "what was that?, I was not playing Midnight Pretenders" until Abel sang, that blew my mind.
I can imagine what you thought lol that musta been truly awesome
my exact experience
I was on the opposite side though, I listened to Out of time before Midnight Pretenders. And when youtube randomly played Midnight Pretenders, I was waiting to sing along "There's so much in my life". However, that was different.

The Weeknd is probably the only modern musician I listen to and this makes me love him more
After Dark is where I was like, "Oh yeah! He's getting good!". That was a great album. Dawn FM is incredible, best album of the year!
@@Hotlog69 you mean after hours 😅
@@hooverlai8924 After House is good but Damn FM is so much better. It has Jim Carrey and it sounds like I'm listening to the radio!
Kiss Land is severely underrated too

This is unreal. Was ecstatic to find that the weekn’d sampled Midnight Pretenders
😛
He beat me to it 😔
I knew there was a comparison of this out there somewhere I knew I couldn’t have been the only one to notice it
It's unbelivable that he did that.
This is the reason why you should like city pop. It's awesome.
No thank you
I love it 💖💥🌼

I love how The Weeknd sampled this song to fit the 80’s vibe and the lyrics still correlate to the original to an extent

The movement is massive here in america. This music is made for us hopeless romantic types lol

Always been a fan of Tomoko Aran. As an og of the city pop/ future funk movement, I'm glad its getting the recognition it deserves.
OG?
City pop was a genre of Japanese music in mostly the 80s.
I love it when artists sample city pop songs, means more people are exposed and get to enjoy the lovely music.
時代を超えた音楽の融合っていいね。

好きだわ〜
Las 2 versiones están buenas, gracias a esto ahora conozco de este hermoso genero "citypop"
Lo maximo el Outrun o el Vaporwave. Otto genero es el Shoegaze busca a cigarettes after s3x un grupazo.
Y todavia te falta descubrir el future funk, que toma todo lo bueno del city pop y lo pasa por una ligera modernizacion electronica
@@Axl4325 y el llamado "new-citypop" de esta espoca, siendo que la cancion de Tomoko Aran es de la 1era parte de los 80´s

The vibes in the synergy is so surreal and such a masterpiece of breathtaking content 3:15 🥰🥰🥰😭
Ficou tão perfeito que ao ouvir separadamente as duas músicas, da aquela sensação que falta algo.
Sucesso!
As duas são perfeitas né...
*"Pretending it's Midnight, even though it's 4am, and we really Out of Time"* kind of vibe.

Wow these songs go really well together.
What an amazing choice of Tomoko Aran’s representative song sampling by the weekend !! ❤
AMAZING MASHUP
BASED. as soon as i first heard Out of Time I couldn't wait for the mashup to be made.
Why doesn't this have more views??? Imagine listening to it while driving around Tokyo at night.

3:07-3:17 Goosebumps 🥶🥶🥶
THIS IS LITERALLY PERFECT!!! THE SONGS FIT RIGHT!!! 😖❤️

So much memories when I was a Kid seeing Ranma 1/2, Slam Dunk or Inuyasha after the School.
Good job on the mash up, keep it up
This thumbnail is so aesthetically pleasing.
素晴らしい
I would like to hear another mashup that had The weeknd's hook and Tomoko's chorus
このマッシュアップは美しいです ❤️
🇯🇵
It's a messy mashup but it's the only thing we got ATM
I knew it was sampled from first listen! So great 80s vibe
That rare time when I discover the sampled version via the original. He did it justice though! Can’t be mad at that.
Tomoko aran birthday is trrmw at 15 January congrats 👏 💖 love her songs
开头的echo十分惊艳！完美的和声！ extremely perfect！
🙏
i think it could've been more refined in between transitions but overall a solid 7.5/10 mashup
yeah the ending is a bit muddy but we need more like 1:30 I'd wanna learn how to mashup just to try and do that
@@jesussaldana4558 yeah, it probably would've sounded better if they found a way to change the vocals to be at the same pitch as the instrumental.
I knew about this since the original "Out Of Time" releases
I was so happy when I heard the "Midnight Pretenders" sample

🏃♂️
because out of time is sampled from tomoko's song
It just makes sense, I’d be surprised if there wasn’t an immediate mashup.
First thing I did after hearing Out of Time was search for a mashup with the original song I had heard years prior
I never knew how much I needed this
