Tomita Lab feat. TENDRE -- Take That!

 

Considering what I've seen in the lyrics of this song, I couldn't help but think of the BBC/Amazon production of the show "Good Omens" with David Tennant and Michael Sheen. Incidentally, I am looking forward to seeing Tennant as the good Doctor again in a couple of months' time.

It was exactly a month ago that I posted the groovy "Natsu no Ghost"(夏の亡霊), a collaboration between Tomita Lab(冨田ラボ)and Kirinji(キリンジ)as a part of the former's "WORKS BEST 2 〜beautiful songs to remember〜" album which came out a few months ago in June. Well today, I'm including another track here as the Lab's joint production with singer-songwriter TENDRE

Having gone through TENDRE's lyrics in "Take That!", I haven't been able to understand them in full clarity but it seems that someone is undergoing an existential crisis which involves a certain dread of the future. As the cute video above makes clear, a devil and an angel are having their battles over and around the poor fellow. Still, Tomita Lab's music is jolly funky as well and it even includes an old-fashioned 1980s orchestra hit. Also, my compliments to the harmonious chorus by Hanah Spring and Meg.
