Retro-pop...all rapped-up!.......2000-10-24

The relatively elaborate packaging for a CD5--in a box ala the Japanese version of THE INT'L PLAYBOY & PLAYGIRL RECORD--leaves the listener anticipating such lengthier P5 CD5s as DARLIN' OF DISCOTHEQUE, and thus feeling a bit of disappointment when the CD clocks in at a little less than fifteen minutes.

Here there is basically one song, then an interlude, then the same song remixed. At least the primary tune is addictive, adding some fresh twists to their trademark style, particularly with prominent rapping (mostly in Japanese) on the first version. On first listen, my impression was that the P5 were jumping on the j-pop/rap bandwagon...and perhaps a bit tardy for the party compared to some other j-pop artists. Then a few days later I realized that I had played the CD at least a half-dozen times. Obviously any sense of initial disappointment disappeared by the 3rd or 4th play. Like the best P5 tracks in the past, A TOKYO hooks the listener with its relentless sense of fun!
