Review by Pam Boling

The album Opportunity by Tokyo is a refreshing and captivating musical journey through the world of J-pop. From the opening track, "Opportunity," the listener is drawn in by the catchy melodies and upbeat rhythms that define the genre.

The album showcases Tokyo's versatility as a band, with tracks ranging from the high-energy "Rainbow" to the more mellow and introspective "Stars." The band's use of electronic and acoustic instrumentation creates a rich and dynamic sound that is both modern and timeless.

One standout track on the album is "Dreams," which features a hauntingly beautiful vocal performance by lead singer Yui. The song's dreamy atmosphere and ethereal harmonies create a sense of otherworldly beauty that is truly captivating.
