Tokyo Night Fighter feat. Takuya OkazakiKEITA
It’ll make you grin without even realizing it.
From the retro-futuristic visuals inspired by synthesizers that evoke ’80s new wave and disco sounds, to the VHS-style noise, cyberpunk lighting, and other touches throughout, it’s brimming with a sense of ’80s vogue.
The creators behind this work are maxilla, a cutting-edge production team known for numerous music videos and commercials.
Also keep an eye on KEITA and Okazaki Taiiku, who play a detective and a yakuza, respectively, within the hard-boiled world of the piece.

The blend of English and Japanese lyrics feels natural and seamless.
It’s a song that works great in a club, but also makes you want to invite friends over, sip some drinks, and just hang out.
