When I think of the words "night beat", I don't automatically think of something groovy from City Pop. Being a Torontonian, my memories go to the title of the evening news on CFTO Channel 9 which was "Night Beat News".
And that was the case when I came across duo ORESAMA's "Night Beat", a track from their October 2022 Blu-Ray and EP combo package "Trek Trunk" which sounds like a box that I kept under my bed for paraphernalia connected with my once-favourite TV sci-fi series. Although I did provide a song of theirs on the blog a little over a year ago which had originated on the 2017 anime "Mahoujin Guru Guru"（魔法陣グルグル...Magical Circle Guru Guru）, I still feel like it's been ages since I mentioned anything about the groovy group.
"Night Beat" is Track 4 on the EP but it still feels like a Track 1 with that characteristic ORESAMA disco groove, and as far as I know, I don't think it has any connection to an anime which is too bad. I wonder if there will be a music video attached to this one. I've always enjoyed the illustrations and animation attached to the group.
I don't get it sometime Youtube let's me enjoy the videos and other times it doesn't. It really does not make any sense because I was able to find the very same song on Youtube here without a problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWpjqQeZuP4. I like Disco and that 70's sound so this song is one I will be playing.
ReplyDeleteYeah, there must be some logic regarding how and whether YouTube videos get played when it involves songs and albums, but I have yet to find out about it.
