Night Tempo feat. Miyu Takeuchi -- Sentimental

 

Taking a gander at his December 2021 (or April 2022, depending on which site you check) album, "Ladies in the City", I was struck at the list of female singers who were collaborating with him. They range from Shibuya-kei diva Maki Nomiya(野宮真貴)to popular seiyuu Sumire Uesaka(上坂すみれ)to City Pop veteran Yurie Kokubu(国分友里恵). I've even covered one track from "Ladies in the City", "Night Light" featuring former Morning Musume leader Sayumi Michishige(道重さゆみ).

Well, yet another track from the album involves another former member of a major aidoru group, this time being AKB48. J-Pop and K-Pop singer Miyu Takeuchi(竹内美宥)takes the reins on the more laidback "Sentimental" as the sun is going down. Mind you, the beats are still coming down heavily here but it does feel like it's time to nurse and sip some liquor while listening to this one. Overall, the delivery and perhaps some of the arrangement of "Sentimental" reminds me a bit of Kirinji's(キリンジ)"After The Party".
