Not sure if this had been meant to be a Neo-City Pop number by the longstanding aidoru group Negicco, but the observations that Hitomitoi（一十三十一）is behind words and music (along with track maker PARKGOLF), her lyrics seem to have a couple setting up the ideal City Pop-themed date late Friday night, and the video was filmed around Yokohama Bay might have genre fans thinking that the trio is flexing their urban contemporary muscles.
Whatever the case may be, "Gozen Rei-ji no Sympathy" (Sympathy at 12 AM) is a cool and glossy number that was released as Negicco's 24th single in August 2020. With those trip-the-light-fantastic synths in play, the song is also pretty light and trippy. I can only hope that I can spend another couple of nights in Yokohama once more.
Perhaps I'm a little late to the party, but City Pop-themed dates may have already taken place before the pandemic with couples coming into Tokyo or Yokohama to enjoy that midnight drive over the bridge. And once things settle down for safe tourism, they can resume. 💖
