The popularity of City Pop declined when the Japanese asset price bubble burst in 1990. Its musical characteristics (except its "cultural background") were inherited by Shibuya-kei musicians such as Pizzicato Five and Flipper's Guitar.
Out Of Time
The Weeknd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The last few months, I've been working on me, baby
There's so much trauma in my life (yeah)
I've been so cold to the ones who loved me, baby
I look back now and I realize
And I remember when I held you
You begged me with your drowning eyes to stay
And I regret I didn't tell you
Now I can't keep you from loving him
You made up your mind, uh
Say I love you, girl, but I'm out of time
Say I'm there for you, but I'm out of time
Say that I'll care for you, but I'm out of time
Said I'm too late to make you mine, out of time, ah
If he mess up just a little
Baby, you know my line
If you don't trust him a little
Then come right back, girl, come right back
Give me one chance, just a little
Baby, I'll treat you right
And I'll love you like I should've loved you all the time
And I remember when I held you (held you, baby)
You begged me with your drowning eyes to stay (never again, baby)
And I (hey) regret I didn't tell you
Now I can't keep you from loving him
You made up your mind, uh
Say I love you, girl, but I'm out of time
Say I'm there for you, but I'm out of time (no, no)
Say that I'll care for you, but I'm out of time (hey)
Said I'm too late to make you mine, out of time, ah
Ooh, singing (out of time)
Said I had you to myself
But I'm (out of time)
Say that I'll care for you, but I'm out of time
But I'm too late to make you mine, out of time
(Out of time)
(Out of time)
Don't you dare touch that dial
Because like the song says, you are out of time
You're almost there, but don't panic
There's still more music to come
Before you're completely engulfed
In the blissful embrace of that little light you see in the distance
Soon you'll be healed, forgiven and refreshed
Free from all trauma, pain, guilt, and shame
You may even forget your own name
But before you dwell in that house forever
Here's thirty minutes of easy listening to some slow tracks

The Weeknd's "Out of Time" consists of the singer, who reflects on the changes he's made in his life following the end of a relationship. He admits that he has been cold to those who loved him, and he regrets letting things end with the girl he once held. He remembers holding her and regrets not telling her that he loved her. Her drowning eyes begged him to stay, but he didn't, and now he can't stop her from loving someone else. Despite this, he asks her to return to him if she realizes that she can't trust the man she's with now. He promises to treat her well and love her as he should have all along. He declares that he's out of time, but he wishes he had more time to make her his.

@KitsuneSaiguGaming
The background intro is from "Midnight Pretenders". it's a japanese classic city pop that legit gives you the feels of grooving, nostalgia or something. Knowing that the weeknd integrated it with his song just makes it more better. If you're into this type of vibes, you guys should definitely check out japanese 80's city pop songs :) They give you a yearning of a past you have felt like u lived it but didn't experienced <3
@TheMichaelGer
Not just the intro though, it's in the whole song

Yes This song is so good! I just tried making my own song inspired by him its in my Playlist
