    It's neat that there were english covers of city pop songs being made close to the originals release dates.

      funny that I found out yesterday that "behind the mask", which is a song by japanese group Yellow Magic Orchestra, was remade by Michael Jackson and was supposed to come out in his "Thriller" album! Even if he dropped it then, Eric Clapton, The Human League and Greg Phillinganes covered it in the 80s based on his version before Michael's was released some years ago!! (though I believe the original would be more fitted into eletronic music, not exactly city pop, anyway it reminded of it ^^')

    This song is amazing. It sounds like it needs to be playing over the credits of an 80's action-romance.

    3:29 This feels like it was ripped right off of Kadumatso Toshiki's song "Hatsu koi". I love it that they actually cared why City Pop is so famous, And put a little thought on that part too.

    There is something not right with the instrumental. Like it doesn't sync up with the vocal. I'm waiting for it to catch up. Like suspended animation. The syncopation is throwing me off. Trying too hard to sound urban like Fresh Prince
    Other than that I like the vocals. I agree that Mr Miller sounds a lot like Bruno Mars! Neat!

      I disagree. This one has a nice, sexy, kick-ass, and unmatched pop to it. The original is sexy in its own way too. Tatsuro's is quiet sexy and Gene's is both, but more-so a get into the groove with me version.
