Dress Down
Kaoru Akimoto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
乱れた髪 一筋もない
おどけたとりまき達 私が笑わないのを
不思議な目をして見ているわ
Dress down 早く見つけてよ (I'm just your babe)
そんなコにかまって つまらないはずだわ
Dress down 域が止まる程 (I'm lovin', lovin' it)
見つめられたくって
Please tell me, tell me, Why?
ブルーに揺れるライト あなたが近付いてくる
あわてたつま先もてあます
不機嫌にさせてくれて ありがとうって切り出したら
あなたは素敵に微笑んだ
Dress down わざとかき上げる (I'm just your babe)
髪の香りさえもはかられた誘惑
Dress down あなたが私に (I'm lovin', lovin' it)
夢中になる前に
I'm melting, melting, melting, melting you
Dress down わざとかき上げる (I'm just your babe)
髪の香りさえもはかられた誘惑
Dress down わざとはみ出した (I'm lovin', lovin' it)
口紅の魔力で
I'm waiting, waiting for you
Dress down あなたが私に (I'm lovin', lovin' it)
夢中になる前に
I'm melting, melting, melting, melting you

The chorus of the song emphasizes the need for the man to see her as she wanted to be seen or dressed down, which meant that she wants him to her and her alone. The woman is confident and takes control of the situation, and expresses her desire to be desired.

Despite her initial fluster, he puts her in ease and makes her feel captivating, causing her to melt in his irresistible presence.
Overall, Dress Down is a song that portrays a woman who is not afraid to take charge of her sexuality, desires, and romantic encounters. The lyrics are reflective of how the woman wants to be seen and appreciated by the man she is in love with, which is a universal feeling of women.

Backless dress and
Eye-catching earrings
Perfect style with no messy hair lines
My henchmen are being playful
But they look at me in wonder
because I don't smile.
Dress Down Please find me soon.
You're messing with that girl.
that will never satisfy you. I'm sure it's boring.
Dress Down Look at me so much that it takes your breath away.
Please tell me, tell me why.
Blue swaying lights
You are coming closer
I got upset and missed a step.
When I said thank you for making me grumpy, you smiled beautifully.
Dress Down
Push my hair back on it on purpose
That scent is a deliberate temptation
Dress Down
Before you fall in love with me I'm melting, melting, melting, melting you. Dress Down
Push my hair back on it on purpose
That scent is a deliberate temptation Dress Down
With the magic power of my overline lips I'm waiting, waiting for you. Dress Down
Before you fall in love with me I'm melting, melting, melting, melting you.

So the folk who own this gem actually care about redistributing it to a new generation, neat. BTW for those of you looking for quality, Im pretty sure this is one of the highest quality recordings of Dress Down since it was uploaded by the people who own the rights to it.
@hollyjollylollymolly3160
Actually i wouldn't doubt it was more likely for the money, it's a hit anyway.
@antoniorivera8321
@@hollyjollylollymolly3160 they paid money to advertise this song,either way it's nice they want people to listen to this
@vidcas1711
The only minor nitpick is that this video replaced the album version of "Dress Down" on the automatically generated "Cologne" playlist. When listing to the album, there's no longer the original transition between "Narcissist" and "Dress Down".
Still a very minor nitpick, and can be replicated using other uploads of the song.
@demogaming8895
@@vidcas1711 there's a whole remastered album now. Looks like they re released the whole thing
@browngirlinaclownworld2077
Holy cow, you're right, this IS the official company! And they knew to put a clip from an 80s anime! They know about internet stuff! Lol.
@izumikairu5072
Yes! Finally an official distribution of the song. This song sound so godly at high quality
@rickscool
first time hearing this song i like it i might actually start listening to city pop music.
@aSpectreAppears
The music fits in with with many scenes such as action or elevator type scenes when the characters are hanging out on a train whilst doing random stuff whilst waiting. Japan has a great range of music but you never see it outside of Japanese material. Even without the lyrics written up, the music just sucks you in.
@thaDjMauz
I gotta say though, this upload does not sound like high quality to me. I think it is a remaster, the compression sounds much heavier than the flac I have been listening to for years.
