For a song titled "Nemuru Kioku" (Sleeping Memories), it's pretty bright and bushy-tailed. This was a track on Yui Murase's（村瀬由衣）album "YUI MURASE" from June 1994, and it starts off like the beginning to a night out on the town before the protagonist gets deep into the dancing and frolicking about downtown. It's a pretty nice 90s City Pop tune that we have here and maybe that electric guitar solo has a tinge of Steely Dan influence.
And it appears that Murase wanted to have some more Y folks on "Nemuru Kioku". There is of course the singer Yui herself, but Yumi Yoshimoto（吉元由美）came up with the lyrics while singer-songwriter Yudai Suzuki（鈴木雄大）was the melody maker. But alas, there is one M in here, too, with Motoki Funayama（船山基紀） handling the arrangements.
I'm going to have to ask my student tomorrow about how the night life in Tokyo has been. Japan has been behind us in terms of the Omicron Wave but I am hoping that things will be looking up for them in the coming weeks.
