I haven't watched Seth MacFarlane's "Family Guy" in many years although I have bought the first seven seasons of the cartoon on DVD and have occasionally caught some YouTube videos of scenes in the most recent episodes. One of the highlights though has been Brian and Stewie's tumble through the multiverse which I thought was a bit more faithful in a truth-in-advertising sense than the recent "Dr. Strange" movie.
Well, strangely enough, it was that episode that I thought about when I first encountered the music video for Souki Urakami's（浦上想起）"Touzakaru Inu" (The Dog from a Parallel World). Urakami had started out as a specialist in overdubbing and music programming before making his own music from 2019. "Touzakaru Inu" was released as a digital single in January 2023 and though I wouldn't say that it was a Shibuya-kei tune, the arrangement of jazz and pop has that feeling of the soundtrack from an old-time American variety show or game show of the 1950s or 1960s as filtered through the contemporary music technology.
