Are you familiar with Sugar Babe, the legendary band that heralded the dawn of city pop and featured Tatsuro Yamashita and Taeko Onuki? This song perfectly captures that heart‑pounding exhilaration of heading out into the city for the weekend.

Its lyrical world, which conjures up glittering urban nights, is colored by a funky clavinet, intricately interwoven guitars, and beautiful choral work.

Released as a single from their sole album, SONGS, in April 1975, the track has been loved across generations: EPO’s cover was used as the ending theme for the TV show “Oretachi Hyōkin-zoku,” and Maaya Sakamoto’s cover served as the theme song for the anime “And Yet the Town Moves.” Nearly 50 years after its release, in April 2025, it made its first-ever entry into the Oricon Weekly Singles Top 10.

It’s a timelessly radiant tune—perfect for a weekend drive or as the soundtrack to a slightly special night.
