From watching the music video and listening to Go-Bang's vocalist Kaori Moriwaki（森若香織）soothingly purr out those lyrics, folks could be excused if they thought that the song was advertising sleeping medicine. It is pretty relaxing and makes for an interesting contrast with their biggest hit, "Ai ni Kite I Need You"（あいにきて I Need You), a couple of years prior.
However, this is "Bye-Bye-Bye", Go-Bang's February 1991 7th single, a jangly and dreamily sung song of a bittersweet ending to a love affair. Once again, with that video and the music, there's something of a psychedelic pop vibe to this one. Written and composed by Moriwaki, it got up to No. 19 on Oricon.
This is one of those songs that somehow sounds both familiar and yet so so different at the same freaking time! It is also an early 1990's song with a very 1980's feel to it! I think your right it there is something of a psychedelic pop feel to this with an some added bubblegum pop mixed in for good measure.
