Number: 077

Lyricist: Yumi Matsutoya

Composer: Masataka Matsutoya

Arranger: Masataka Matsutoya

From Masataka Matsutoya's 1977 album: "Yoru no Tabibito"

"Hong Kong Night Sight" stands out as one of the best night groove songs in this rare solo album by a young Masataka Matsutoya（松任谷正隆）. Along with the sound accompanying the dazzling bright lights of the city, the mild vocals are also a highlight, but for the last half of the song, I think it's endearing that the song ends up tumbling a bit when it gets louder. Yuming's（ユーミン）version can be found in her 1981 "Mizu no Naka no Asia"（水の中のASIAへ）.

The above comes from "Disc Collection Japanese City Pop Revised" (2020).
