A sleek and refined City Pop journey through the neon-lit midnight streets. Renowned producer Ryū, known for a prolific career spanning 11 Vocaloid albums and projects like the virtual idol group "Lovely Melody," continues his rapid-fire release schedule with the 3rd single from his ongoing City Pop project featuring the fresh new vocalist, Chii.
Releasing on June 12th, "Plastic City" is a quintessential track perfectly crafted for late-night drives, offering a highly polished and sophisticated sound. The voice behind these crystal-clear vocals, Chii, is actually a virtual AI vocalist brought to life by Ryū to explore new realms of musical expression. The relatable lyrics were written by Ryū himself, capturing the unspoken tension of a midnight drive, where the artificial glow of the city illuminates a fleeting wish for the night to never end. Composed with the assistance of Suno, the track offers a nostalgic yet stable arrangement that provides a smooth, elegant backdrop for Chii's emotive performance.
This project pushes the boundaries of modern music production by integrating human creativity with cutting-edge AI tools, utilizing Nano Banana Pro for the cover art and Midjourney to create its stunning visual world, including a seamless loop video for TikTok. Let the cold night wind sparkle as you cruise through the "Plastic City" with this ultimate late-night anthem.
Ryu started DTM in university and has been creating mainly songs that he wants to listen to. Based on J-POP, his songs feature lyrical melodies and carefully written lyrics about joy and sadness, combined with the natural singing of Hatsune Miku in a sad but easy-to-hear way. The song Groove of Love from his 6th album was used as a commercial song for the Spoon app.
