Haven't watched anything on network television in years, let alone any program on prime time (7-10 pm). It's basically been whatever I see on YouTube, Jme and the sports channels (got to see a lot of NFL last night due to Thanksgiving). Way back when, it used to be some nights were absolutely must-see TV whether it be Thursdays for a few hours' worth of prime time sitcoms or Mondays for the action dramas.
A few days ago, one commenter told me about Naniwa Danshi（なにわ男子）and one of their newer tunes, "Prime Time". The Johnny's Entertainment/STARTO aidoru group was first put up on KKP a couple of years ago with their 2021 debut single "Ubu Love"（初心LOVE）. It was a tune that I described as being a mix of disco and late 1990s/early 2000s J-R&B.
"Prime Time" is the second track on Naniwa Danshi's second studio album "Popmall" from July 2023. This time around, the group went even further back to the 1980s with a touch of that decade's dynamic dance-pop and Toshiki Kadomatsu（角松敏生）, thanks to music duo youth case along with Swedish composer Erik Lidbom coming up with the melody and the lyrics. I also noted to the commenter that there was also a feeling of 2010s female aidoru group Especia in the arrangement as well. I also doff my hat to the electric guitar play in there.
