Lyric
Time Travel - Tick Tock
Kaori MUKAI, The Structures
Don't cry alone, don't cry alone
Don't cry alone tonight
On the TV screen
The morning news replays yesterday's headline
While it forecasts rain for tomorrow
I'm getting up right now
Through the retro filter of the modern camera
I gaze ahead: is this yesterday or tomorrow?
I find myself caught between the past and the future
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Don't keep, don't keep
Don't keep me waiting for you
Let's journey through time
Counting 1, 2, and 3
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Don't keep, don't keep
Don't keep me away from you
Boy, I won't let you cry alone
In this world tonight
In the city glowing with night lights
I just wanna drift like a jellyfish in the neon sea
You don't need to worry, I can give you what you need:
Navigation, education, motivation, concentration
From the car radio
I hear a revival of City Pop from 40 years ago
Will this song reach someone, somewhere, decades from now?
I find myself caught between the past and the future
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Don't keep, don't keep
Don't keep me waiting for you
Boy, I won't let you cry alone
In this world tonight
チクタク、チクタク。ドキドキ。
チクタク、チクタク。ドキドキ。
チクタク、チクタク。ドキドキ。
チクタク、チクタク。ドキドキ。
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Don't keep, don't keep
Don't keep me waiting for you
Let's journey through time
Counting 1, 2, and 3
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Don't keep, don't keep
Don't keep me away from you
Boy, I won't let you cry alone
In this world tonight

Time Travel - Tick Tock
Kaori MUKAI, The Structures
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.
