The 80's is another universe that we will never reach again.The music back then was from another dimension. Exciting!!!

So the folk who own this gem actually care about redistributing it to a new generation, neat. BTW for those of you looking for quality, Im pretty sure this is one of the highest quality recordings of Dress Down since it was uploaded by the people who own the rights to it.

The only minor nitpick is that this video replaced the album version of "Dress Down" on the automatically generated "Cologne" playlist. When listing to the album, there's no longer the original transition between "Narcissist" and "Dress Down". Still a very minor nitpick, and can be replicated using other uploads of the song.

The music fits in with with many scenes such as action or elevator type scenes when the characters are hanging out on a train whilst doing random stuff whilst waiting. Japan has a great range of music but you never see it outside of Japanese material. Even without the lyrics written up, the music just sucks you in.

Kaoru Akimoto maybe didn't pursue a music career, but when she did decide to drop music, she dropped GOLD. Dress Down is so special, from the music to the singing. Her voice is so mature and soulful, actually an excellent singer! A great song to listen to after this is Junko Yagami's BAY CITY. Junko is another PHENOMENAL City pop singer known for her siren-like voice.

Backless dress and Eye-catching earrings Perfect style with no messy hair lines My henchmen are being playful But they look at me in wonder because I don't smile. Dress Down Please find me soon. You're messing with that girl. that will never satisfy you. I'm sure it's boring. Dress Down Look at me so much that it takes your breath away. Please tell me, tell me why. Blue swaying lights You are coming closer I got upset and missed a step. When I said thank you for making me grumpy, you smiled beautifully. Dress Down Push my hair back on it on purpose That scent is a deliberate temptation Dress Down Before you fall in love with me
I'm melting, melting, melting, melting you.

Dress Down Push my hair back on it on purpose That scent is a deliberate temptation
Dress Down With the magic power of my overline lips
I'm waiting, waiting for you.

Big News❤❤❤ Kaoru announced on Instagram that she will participate in Night Tempo's album which will be released in September.

I recently brought this album as my birthday gift to myself, I’ve loved it for so many years and remember having to rely on soundcloud uploads to listen to it in full(ty jesus:) ). Though it being available digitally for a while, I’m so happy to own it physically finally!

バブリーの香りのするサウンド。懐かしい💕

背中の開いたドレス　こぼれてしまいそうなear ring 乱れた髪　一筋もない おどけた取り巻き達　私が笑わないのを 不思議な目をして見ているわ Dress down 　はやく見つけてよ そんな子にかまって　つまらないはずだわ Dress down　 息が止まるほど　見つめられたくって　 Please tell me, tell me why　 ブルーに揺れるライト　あなたが近づいてくる 慌てたつま先持て余す 不機嫌にさせてくれて　ありがとうって切り出したら あなたは素敵にほほ笑んだ Dress down　わざとかき上げる 髪と香さえも　図られた誘惑 Dress down　あなたが私に　夢中になる前に I'm melting, melting, melting, melting you Dress down　わざとかき上げる 髪と香さえも　図られた誘惑 Dress down　わざとはみ出した　口紅の魔力で I'm waiting, waiting for you Dress down　あなたが私に　夢中になる前に I'm melting, melting, melting, melting you 凄いお洒落な歌詞ですね。特に「不機嫌にさせてくれてありがとうって切り出したら　あなたは素敵にほほ笑んだ」ってところが好き。

Suddenly this is on my KZread ad, never been so glad to found an addicted ad like this, I never heard of this song before, but it's gold and it takes me back to my childhood era full with city pop songs 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I don’t understand Japanese but it feels amazing and classic.

I love the crescendo of the intro. The kind of ominous, psychedelic tension then drops into the dance-able city pop style beat fans of this genre know and love with the twist of the traditional Japanese notes and instrument on top. This song feels so intimate, like the intimacy you get in a dimly lit, small bar and you're right against the stage, the singer is dancing and singing right up your nose. The vibe is just so good. Such a great window of the kind of sexuality and rawness of the 80s. I also heard this was used in a hentai and it's fitting. I don't know which one though. It is THE vibe for a 90s hentai. Sleezy ecstacy, desire, and some loneliness.

I can listen to this for hours 😌

All this time i have been listening to Tatsuro Yamashita, Mariya Takeuchi, Tomoko Aran, Junko Ohashi, Junko Yagami, Yurie Kokubu, Meiko Nakahara, Miki Matsubara, Momoko Kikuchi, and many more, so this addition is a welcomed one.
