灯りの川 (River of Lights) 🌆 80s Japanese City Pop

🌆 River of Lights (灯りの川), a warm, wistful 80s Japanese city pop song for a late-night drive home through the neon city. Past midnight on the empty expressway, the car stereo turned down low, neon blurring on the glass, and someone you can't quite let go of riding in the passenger seat of your memory. A dreamy, laid-back city pop groove, sung in Japanese over a melodic electric bass, warm Fender Rhodes, and a singing synth lead. ▶ More 80s Japanese City Pop:    • 80s Japanese City Pop 🌆 シティポップ   ▶ Every Cozy Cafe Sounds song:    • Cozy Cafe Sounds ☕ All Songs   🔔 Subscribe for new cozy cafe music:    / @cozycafesounds-113   Perfect for: 🌃 Late-night drives and city nights 🌧️ Neon streets and rain on the glass 🎧 Working, studying, unwinding 🎹 A nostalgic, dreamy 80s mood ────────────── 🎵「灯りの川」歌詞 (lyrics) 真夜中すぎの 高速をすべる カーステレオは ボリューム絞って 窓を少しだけ 夜風に開けて 眠らない街 ネオンがにじむ ミラーの中 流れる光 ふいにきみの 笑顔がよぎる 灯りの川を 渡っていく テールランプが 星屑みたいに 今夜だけは 助手席にきみを乗せて 眠らない街を ただ流してく あの頃きみは よく笑ってた 助手席で 地図を広げて 行き先なんて どうでもよくて ただ夜どおし 走っていたね 信号が青に 変わるたびに 遠くなる きみとの日々 さよならさえ 言えないままで 季節は街を 染め変えていく それでもいいよ この道の先 きみの面影 連れて行くから 灯りの川を 渡っていく ヘッドライトが 夜を切り裂いて いつかきっと 笑って話せる夜まで 眠らない街を ただ流してく 灯りの川は 朝へ続く ── English translation ── Sliding onto the expressway past midnight / the car stereo turned down low The window cracked a little to the night air / the sleepless city, neon blurring In the mirror, the streaming light / and suddenly your smile crosses my mind I cross the river of lights / tail-lights like scattered stardust Just for tonight I'll let you ride beside me / and just cruise the sleepless city Back then you laughed so easily / spreading the map across the passenger seat Where we were headed didn't matter at all / we just drove the whole night through Every time the signal turns green / the days with you slip a little further away With even goodbye left unsaid / the seasons keep recoloring the city But that's alright, somewhere up this road / I'll carry the memory of you with me I cross the river of lights / headlights cutting through the night Until the night we can finally laugh about it / I just cruise the sleepless city The river of lights goes on toward morning ────────────── 🎧 About Original city pop by Cozy Cafe Sounds.
