A refreshing love song with a summer theme.

Popular voice actors like Hiroshi Kamiya and Haruka Tomatsu perform it, and a music video has been released.

There are times when we experience parting from someone important or carry anxieties about heading to a new place.

It’s in those wavering moments that JUJU’s grand ballad “Tokyo” gently stays by your side.

Released in January 2018 as her 36th single, the song also drew major attention as the theme for the film “The Last Shot in the Name of the Prayers.” In the city of Tokyo, where meetings and farewells repeat, the resolve to keep moving forward despite the sense of loss is expressed through a tender yet aching melody.

The moving music video—depicting the warm yet bittersweet farewell between a hairdresser’s daughter who moves to Tokyo and the father waiting back home—is also a must-see!

This track masterfully fuses a melody brimming with traditional Japanese sentiment and a laid-back reggae groove, evoking the heat of the city at night.

Created by takamatt, active as a Vocaloid producer, it depicts the splendor of the red-light district and the fleeting nature of the floating world, set in a fictional city.

First released on a video site in February 2012, it was later included on the TOKIO FUNKA E.P.

It is also featured in the mobile game Project Sekai: Colorful Stage! feat.

Hatsune Miku, where it has become beloved by many fans.

The lyrics’ archaic turns of phrase intertwine with GUMI’s crisp vocals, drawing listeners into a fantastical festival realm.

It’s the perfect piece for times when you want to revel under a canopy of night-blooming cherry blossoms or dance the night away and forget the everyday.

Tokyo, the City of DreamsHikawa Kiyoshi

I can picture the city’s neon lights wet with rain, shimmering across the sidewalks like blossoms of light.

Sung with rich emotion by Kiyoshi Hikawa—an artist who captivates many fans with his genre-defying expressiveness—this piece is included on the album “Kiyoshi Hikawa: Enka Masterpiece Collection 4 ~ Banba no Chutaro ~,” released in September 2004.

Set in nighttime Tokyo—Gaien and Ginza—it portrays a wistful longing to make love bloom, perfectly matching the damp atmosphere of a spring night.

The images of red and blue city lights swaying evoke a fantastical beauty that overlaps with illuminated night cherry blossoms.

Listening on the way home from hanami, gazing at the passing city lights from a car window, might make the mood feel all the more romantic.
