Tokyo Street Lights

from Defying Gravity by Kevin Coem

/

about

This is one of the first songs I composed after I stopped releasing Japanese-language songs, and that's exactly why I wanted it to be a homage to my music career as a J-pop singer. I achieved that by experimenting with traditional instruments from Japan, such as the shamisen and the koto, mixing them with an EDM-influenced bassline and a catchy beat.

The lyrics talk about experiencing the most fun and dynamic side of Japan, which I expressed through the title of the song itself. It's a song about all the lights and noise in some Japanese cities, like Tokyo, which stimulate our senses, and it's also a song about loving this sensation, based on my own experience after traveling to Japan quite a few times.

lyrics

I'm in Tokyo, bitches!

Every day, every night is a party with me
You can't make it stop
When I walk down the street, I can see them all...
All eyes on me

Livin' the city life under the city lights
So what you like? What you want?
Tell me now...
'Cause we are going upside down!

Don't go away, just stay with me
This is our night and we can't quit

My head is spinning like it's never done before
And my body keeps reacting to all I'm feeling
Under the Tokyo street lights
You can't escape, just give in to temptation

Listen up, this is how we do!
(Under the Tokyo street lights)
Listen up, this is what we do!
(Under the Tokyo street lights)

I'm keeping it together every night
When all I wanna do is scream out loud
I'm so damn fly!
Let's go to Shibuya, let's go somewhere else
'Cause the party ain't over 'til I say it myself

Everyone wants to be here
Everyone wants to be me looking good like this
If you wanna do it now, do it now
No second chance, you gotta do it right away!

Livin' the city life under the city lights
So what you need? What are you waiting for?
'Cause we don't care anymore!

I'm in Tokyo, bitches!

My head is spinning like it's never done before
And my body keeps reacting to all I'm feeling
Under the Tokyo street lights
You can't escape, just give in to temptation

Just listen, I wanna tell you my secret
Hahaha~ All the Tokyo street lights
They make me feel alive
Let's go! (Just give in to temptation)

My head is spinning like it's never done before
And my body keeps reacting to all I'm feeling
Under the Tokyo street lights
You can't escape, just give in to temptation

Listen up, this is how we do!
(Under the Tokyo street lights)
Listen up, this is what we do!
(Under the Tokyo street lights)
