A few months ago, I posted up an article regarding a collaboration between Neo-City Pop singer-songwriter Hitomitoi（一十三十一）and indie rock project Wild Nothing, aka Jack Tatum, which was titled "Like a First Kiss" and included on the singer's March 2025 album "Telepa Telepa". That song had some of that 1970s nostalgia imbued into it.
Well, from the same album is the track "Deja Vu no Blue" (Deja Vu Blue) which was written by Hitomitoi and composed by Dorian. There is no doubt about the time placement for this one. It's the danceable 2020s brand of City Pop as the video shows all that is fun and games in Tokyo. Some wonderful self-harmonizing by the singer and the images of the city and dancing feet may have inbound tourism into Japan rising again. By the way, I heard that last year was a record with over 40 million tourists coming in from abroad. Anyways, there is one piece of nostalgia included in the video for this very skippy song and that is the old-fashioned green public phone, although it looks pretty sauced up (maybe it imbibed too much of the Long Island Iced Tea I'd mentioned in the previous article).
