真夜中のジョーク - 間宮貴子(Takako Mamiya)

3rd track from album "Love Trip(1982)"

[@picknick21]

People, you weren't born in the wrong generation. It's much better now. All of this music is now at your fingertips, in the best quality! Back in the day, the friggin' dark ages, you would have missed out on so much of this good stuff, because it would be that much harder to know about, discover, or even buy.

Yeah, information aplenty, we'll never know how it is to be super-rich in the middle of the bubble, driving a cabrio into the sunrise by the seaside, in Tokyo Bay, after a night of passion with a young and lively lady whose first interest is having mindless fun. The sea breeze in your hair, the empty road, this music playing... (EDIT: I hadn't read the translated lyrics before I told you this, but apparently it's what the song is all about!)

I'll soon be inside a morning Guess it's close... This smell A drive all alone This's right off the top of my head A middle-of-the -night joke With luck, I might be able to see the sea With luck, I'm able to forget it I'm a female who I cry in regret after joking too much "This is trueth," I'll be able to say that but I keep on drive The way I am, remain unchanged

It's so cool how these songs give you such a nostalgic feeling even though there were no memories to begin with. I for some reason love this feeling.

[@kme9549]

Songs like these make me nostalgic and make me remember the wonderful years in which I wasn’t alive 😌

もうすぐ朝の中　近いわこの匂い This smell is coming soon in the morning ひとりっきりのドライブ A single drive ほんの思いつき　真夜中のジョーク Just a thought of a midnight joke 早起きなら苦手だけど I'm not good at getting up early, however 夜深しなら気分次第 Depending on your mood if deep in the night その気になれば走り続ける女なの A woman who keeps running if you care 恋にしたって言えそうだけど It looks like I could tell you that I fell in love はじまりはジョークのつもりだけ Beginning is only a joke 's intention 対向車も人もいない There are no oncoming cars or people 私だけが流れるまま Only me will be flowing ドラマの場合　となりを見ると男なの In the case of a drama It is a man when you look at it 少しだけ逢ったことのある　渋い人 Awesome person who has just met a little. ひどいジョークねやめて Stop making a bad joke もうすぐ朝の中　近いわこの匂い This smell is coming soon in the morning ひとりっきりのドライブ A single drive ほんの思いつき　真夜中のジョーク Just a thought of a midnight joke うまくいけば海が見える Hopefully the sea can be seen うまくいけば忘れられる Hopefully it will be forgotten ジョークがすぎて泣くこともある女なの A woman whose joke is too crying 本気だって言えそうだけど　走るのよ It seems I'm serious but I'm running こんな私のままで As I am

[@rylamistrandall6517]

I literally raptured, emotionally, I don't know why, I DONT KNOW WHY, THIS SONG IS SIMPLY AMAZING, even the word "amazing" is a massive understatement to what I'm feeling right now.

[@declanmckeown323]

im learning japanese and I love putting music like this on in the background as I do my normal work, helps me feel more immersed

[@theviciouschickenofbristol4779]

[@HouseMusicNinja]

70s/80s style Japanese music is so beautiful sounding. My goodness!❤

[@ivamatanovic2222]

It has been more than 2 years since I discovered Japanese music from this period and some other artists like Nujabes (all thanks to anime). That discovery has brought so many days of happiness and singing through my house in my version of Japanese 😂 ... but it also brought much more nights of strange, intense, nirvana-like feelings... It was so different than anything else that I became certain this music gives super-powers to mind-travel through time, places, lives, feelings, memories... Still, what makes me the happiest is this comment section that even after 2 years I still read and always feel the need to share how I feel with someone who understands me and this magical music! So I wish you ALL the magic in this world because you have the ability to see it and cherish it ❤️

[@tylerenglish6696]

I'm learning more and more everyday. This language is so beautiful!

I swear Japanese music is something else, something about the vibe of this song is just amazing aswell as for the song tasogare its such a good song

this song and this type of music brings back summer of 2017... got my first job and would walk to work listening to these songs. Life was happier and better then

[@imojado7294]

Dark times for me but they helped me get past life

[@xiny-chi]

THIS is a masterpiece, I can't describe my happiness in words TT

[@pikpik42]

This is one of the best pieces of music i know. The ease and groove of an soul and jazz instrumental are common most times, but this one has mastered the art of capturing a night lantern flair. Japanese philosophy (asian) of harmony and balance might have helped creating this gem. "Hiroshi Suzuki-Romance" has a similar preciousness.
