First non-mainstream anime! It's just such a cool song... it took years to realize the seiyuu for Gendo Ikari (or Lt. Surge in Japanese Pokemon) sings! I've recently been playing the song while driving to work. On loop. On repeat. Every single time! I might've almost crashed a couple times from thinking about the English lyrics.
Yellow is background singers.
Red is man's lines.
Blue is woman's lines.
White is both singing.
Mysterious Tokyo
Take it easy dangerous night
Mysterious Tokyo
Pick me up foxy night game
The moonlight beams as bright as can be
A brand new night invites us to the view
The city's rhythmic heartbeat is so cold
With showering sounds of klaxon
Loneliness is mundane, still I'd embrace
Over silence in labyrinths
Surrender myself to pleasuring ecstasy
Night shines as if lit... by the illumination of the sea
And the blue... And the blue times melt into a different hue
My future rises higher ephemerally
Life burns brighter like lights but then they fade away
One by one before we even knew
The footsteps and all the babel overflow
Swirling and mingling in the concourse
Worn from swimming in crowds for hopeful gloam
Instead we fall in monochrome
Say it ain't so, but I can still see the lies
All inside the show windows
Grey to black, and further we spiral in pursuit
When truth is dyed with... colors of a neverending prelude
And my blue... And my blue heart melts into a different hue
These painful tears fall down amidst the pouring rain
Prayers burn brighter like lights but then they fade away
One by one before we even knew
(instrumental)
And the blue... And the blue times melt into a different hue
My future rises higher ephemerally
Life burns brighter like lights but then they fade away
One by one before we even knew
And my blue... And my blue heart melts into a different hue
These painful tears fall down amidst the pouring rain
Prayers burn brighter like lights but then they fade away
One by one before we even knew
