Matsuri in the neon glow
Riding slow on the Tokaido
Yeah
Cherry blossoms fall on chrome and steel
Got that low rider samurai wheel
Moving through the prefecture lights
Under electric moon nights
My koto strings sing ancient tunes
Over these funky afternoon monsoons
From Osaka bay to Tokyo street
This rhythm can't be beat
Neon Tokaido sliding through the night
Koto melodies in the city light
Shogun style with that G-funk bounce
Making all the spirits pronounce
Neon Tokaido traditional and new
My strings connecting me and you
From temple grounds to capsule towers
We're floating through these golden hours
Geisha girls with tablet screens
Programming futuristic dreams
While I pluck these silk-wound strings
To the rhythm that the city brings
My talkbox whispers secrets old
In a story waiting to be told
Shinkansen fast but we're rolling slow
Letting all the good vibes grow
Neon Tokaido sliding through the night
Koto melodies in the city light
Shogun style with that G-funk bounce
Making all the spirits pronounce
Neon Tokaido traditional and new
My strings connecting me and you
From temple grounds to capsule towers
We're floating through these golden hours
The past and future meet right here
In every note I hold so dear
Ancestor spirits in the machine
Creating this funky sacred dream
Where bonsai trees meet hover cars
And we're reaching for the stars
Digital rain on paper screens
Mixing up reality and dreams
I'm the ronin of the beat
Making ancient and modern meet
With every synth wave that I send
I'm healing and I'm making mend
Between the world that used to be
And what we're destined to see
Neon Tokaido
Rolling on
Sayonara for now
