Takako Mamiya - Mayonaka no Joke

Reasoning and frame transition pressure torture and validation funneling frame tripping and system representation denial hangs rings child favour family unit hostage and units them selves threaded

Anime: Wicked City

This song is so smooth!!! It makes me want to chill and watch Lupin The 3rd! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Makes one understand why the late Bobby Caldwell was quite popular in Japan.

What’s the show playing in the background?

MIX INTO TOTO-GEORGY PORGY

March of 2023 ... Amazing song...

この時代のアニメ、音楽、最高・・・

j'avais 14 ans en vacance en France un après midi chaud a la rivière je m'en rappellerait toujours

Rest here traveller, your journey through nostalgia must be tiring.

“Midnight Joke” , Takako Mamiya (Singer)
Released: November 25, 1982 by Kitty Records Japan
Lyrics: Ichiko Takehana, Composition: Hiroyuki Namba ( Sense of Wonder)
Arrangement: Genji Sawai / Osamu Shiomura
(English translation with a rough meaning.)

I can smell the dawn, I'm sure morning is coming soon.
I'm running alone on a midnight drive.
It’s only a light joke in a midnight,
I came out on a midnight drive that I started on a whim.　

I'm not good at getting up early.
But I'm fine if I'm up all night.

I'm a woman who can drive through the night, if I feel like it.
I guess the same thing can be said when I'm in love,
It always starts with a joke

Driving in the middle of the night is freely
Cause there are no cars and people.
My car can run freely and fluidly.

In the case of dramas, at times like this,
there might be a guy next to me.
He's a guy I've only met a few times and don't know him well yet.
Ah, It’s a stupid joke, going to stop it.

I can smell the dawn, I'm sure morning is coming soon.
I'm running alone on a midnight drive.
It’s only a light joke in a midnight,
I came out on a midnight drive that I started on a whim.　　　

Hopefully I will be able to see the ocean soon.
Hopefully I will be able to forget about you.

I'm a woman who jokes too much
and sometimes cries because of it.
I could say that I was really serious,
but it's just a joke.　

Fine, I'm going to keep driving.
I'm going to keep running , like just way I am.

underrated

my cousin showed me this song whilst dreaming to move to japan 4 years later hes now listening to this song sending me snaps in japan its beautiful and Ill join him soon

Great song

the mall played this song while I was on the toilet, it was the calmest shit I've ever had

I'm 19 and I feel like the music nowadays just doesn't sound even appealing. Eversince like 2010 ish music dropped to a dead low. This, these types of songs are IT. We need more of THIS.

sopita vibes

mysterious artist

I love this
