The Structures (a.k.a Yusei Koga), who has been expanding globally with his rich synth sounds inspired by Western music charts and collaborations with various artists, release his second track featuring Kaori Mukai, a jazz singer-songwriter who has made her mark in both Japan and Indonesia.

This track incorporates nostalgic City Pop elements, blending them with modern electric sounds. The retro synth tones seamlessly blend with lyrics that evoke a sense of drifting between past and future, offering listeners an almost cinematic journey through time.

By adopting the co-writing approach, the track maximizes the strengths of both the track maker and the singer-songwriter. The result is a unique piece of electric City Pop where nostalgia meets modernity.
