This is probably the case for any major (or even smaller) city in Japan, but in Tokyo, once Xmas is around the corner, the LED lights get scattered everywhere to provide twinkly illumination to please the masses, especially the romantic couples. It's safe to say that Shinjuku and Roppongi already have the lights all about. By the way, the above picture was taken at the Hilton Hotel in West Shinjuku.
Just the description that I needed to introduce JADOES'（ジャドーズ）"Stardust Night" right from their 1987 album "Free Drink". "Roku-gatsu no Photograph"（6月のフォトグラフ）is another track from there which has the City Pop and R&B feeling in there, but "Stardust Night" doesn't have the funky beats. However, it still has plenty of fun nighttime Bubble Era megalopolitan energy for folks to celebrate their enjoyment of the bright lights and big city. Fun horns and all that.
As was the case with "Roku-gatsu no Photograph", "Stardust Night" was written by JADOES percussionist Kensaku Saito（斎藤謙策）but this time, it was composed by keyboardist Akihiko Hirama（平間あきひこ）and bassist/vocalist Hideki Fujisawa（藤沢秀樹）. It's a good song to enjoy while either strutting down the main drag or bombing down the highways.
