NEO TOKYO BLUES

"NEO TOKYO BLUES" (ネオ東京ブルース) is the October 2026 single by Ichiki, a Japanese act its operator V doing presents as an AI artist. Its release notes describe it as a grown-up Tokyo love song that layers Showa-era mood kayo and big-band glamour over a present-day city feel: a night in Ginza of neon, ice in glasses, cigarette smoke, saxophone and trumpet, where a man and a woman who cannot be honest play out a love neither will admit is over. It was released with a second track, "Love is a Big Band Backbeat!", and both are credited to Ichiki and Son as writers, with Son producing. It came out under the Venzaiten name through TuneCore Japan, and Deezer marks the release as AI-generated content.
