Anna Takeuchi -- ALRIGHT

 

I always liked that sunset filter on my old departed Casio digital camera. It was the first one I ever owned. By the way, the above is a shot of West Shinjuku centering on the Cocoon building.

Anyways, this particular song has had me thinking about a typical Friday night in the hustling and bustling areas of Shinjuku and Shibuya. All those masses of humanity streaming in all directions like wayward amoebae looking for food. 

I am talking about singer-songwriter Anna Takeuchi's（竹内アンナ）"ALRIGHT" which was included as a track on her first official single "at ONE" from August 2018. Written and composed by the singer, it's got quite the dreamy intro followed by a fairly fast-paced melody which could signify navigating the crowded streets of Tokyo, en route to a restaurant or bar to meet up with good buddies. The instruments used here enhances that feeling of City Pop and other music from decades past. 

According to her J-Wiki discography, there was a pre-debut single released in April of that same year titled "alright" in small letters. Not sure if that is the same song with a dramatically different arrangement.
