TOKYO MIDNIGHT

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
いやらし男と かしまし娘
パジャマで パヤパヤ
パジャマで パヤパヤ
パジャマで パヤパヤ
パジャマで パヤパヤ
朝までお邪魔? 朝までお邪魔?
The lyrics of "TOKYO MIDNIGHT" by フジファブリック capture the atmosphere of Tokyo at night. The first line "何処からともなく 夜更けの街は" sets the scene of a city, seen from an unknown perspective, perhaps from someone who is wandering through it. The next line "いやらし男と かしまし娘" describes two non-specific, but likely hedonistic characters, adding to the sense of indulgence and temptation that can be found in the city at night.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "パジャマで パヤパヤ" four times, creating a sense of rhythm and urgency that imitates the bustle of the city. The phrase, translated as "pajamas, pajamas, pa-ya pa-ya" seems to be a reference to people who stay up all night in comfortable clothing, enjoying the nightlife of Tokyo.
The repetition of "朝までお邪魔?" at the end of each stanza suggests that the characters in the song are partying and enjoying the city into the early morning hours, perhaps to the point of being "obnoxious" guests. Overall, "TOKYO MIDNIGHT" expresses the alluring, fast-paced, and slightly chaotic energy of Tokyo at night.
