Classic J-POP Hits Masterfully Transformed for the Urban Night
In June 2020, the 7-inch record "OH NO, OH YES!" featuring Mariya Takeuchi's "Plastic Love" and Akina Nakamori's "OH NO, OH YES!" was released. Inquiries flooded in even before pre-orders began, leading to an immediate sell-out. Furthermore, this 7-inch record ranked 30th on the Oricon charts, and on Spotify, their cover of Kylie Minogue's "Turn It Into Love" was selected for New Music Friday in nine Asian countries.
Tokimeki Records expresses an adult and mellow nighttime story through music, with synth-heavy electro-boogie sounds and sensual vocalists. For those immersed in the city night, this nostalgic music project will surely provide a pleasant time.
