Chiaki Fujita with onda -- Nighty Night

 

The term "nighty night" was something that I had thought was relegated back decades in the 20th century as an expression to those sleepy heads. Maybe the first time I heard it was in the above video for a classic Bugs Bunny cartoon (you can hear the expression used at 4:00).

However, it's been used relatively recently when it was made into a title of a track from Sing Like Talking's Chiaki Fujita's（藤田千章）"un-categorized [Default]" album from April 2022. I posted about one of the other tracks, "I Want Your Love", back in that same year which was much different in style from this one. Instead of the urban contemporary synthpop stylings there, "Nighty Night" is much more grounded and earthier with the string instruments emitting such tender music that a fork can cut into it easily. And it's sung by onda who unfortunately I haven't been able to get any information about. But in any case, it is the type of song that you can softly give your nighty nights to.
