The photo above shows a restaurant that I used to frequent right around Nihombashi Station in Tokyo. Com Pho was not a big place but it looked plenty modern inside and I could just throw some bills or coins into a machine to get my ticket to get my tasty bowl of Vietnamese pho with meat and other goodies. I wonder if it's still there.
In late November, I posted an article regarding the band Botanical na Kurashi.（ボタニカルな暮らし。）and their "City Girl". Well, here I am again to provide a more recent example of their lovely Neo-City Pop on the night streets of Tokyo, "Bubble". With lyrics by singer Siyo and music by bassist Kent, it's a short and sweet tune released in July 2024 as their 13th single about a lass in the big city and her bubble-blowing. I have to admit that this is probably the first time I've ever come across a metropolitan number about one of my old hobbies as a kid but it's also quite a cool tune with a hint of Steely Dan.
