Taeko Ōnuki (大貫妙子) - 4:00 AM [Lyrics Kan/Rom/Eng] 

this song is what expensive perfume nd red lipstick would sound like

This sounds like something i would hear on evangelion

I’m starting to believe japans music in the 70’s - 80’s is the best music to ever exist

Black soul music + Japanese pop= masterpiece

This song is a masterpiece

Finally figured out the "lord give me one more chance" after months of listening to this song

i seriously believe this is a contender for the best song of all time

I’m so happy more people are discovering this album. I grew up listening to Taeko Ohnuki with my mom when she was still around. I do encourage people to look into the rest of her music, as each and every song carries a special meaning within them.

This song feels like a main character starting to lose during a big battle but giving one last ultimate push to win

this song is 43 years old just so yall know

This song, Plastic Love, and Stay with me are the holy trinity! There's a lot of recommendations, should I just make a list atp?

The masculine urge to go on a 50 day adventure with the boys and fight a 100 year old vampire who can stop time itself

Y'ALL AIN'T NO WAY THIS SONG CAME OUT IN 1978😦 MRS GURL MADE THIS BOP IN 1978!!! I- LEGEND LEGEND!!!!

これだけたくさんの外国の人が日本の曲を好きになってくれるの嬉しい 名曲は色褪せない！

I am Japanese! I'm 15 years old who loves Japanese 80's music! Thanks to TikTok, I'm glad that foreigners know a lot of Japanese 80's songs! If you like this song, I think you also like the songs of "Akina Nakamori", "Momoe Yamaguchi" and "Yuki Saito", so please listen to them!

so all of us agree that this song is a masterpiece ?

I love most of the lyrics in hiragana. So easy to follow along lol

If this song doesn't go as hard as Bush's baked beans on a Thursday night, I don't know what does

This songs makes me feel like an hopeless romantic who can't express their true feelings for the one they want in their life, walking through the city in early morning when city lights still on

This song was so popular they even named a time after it!

this song reminds me of a "villain" fighting with the "hero" and the "villain" is losing and is close to death and their traumatic memories assiciated with why the "villain" is fighting the "hero" and the memories bring the "villain" a push to victory while the "hero" is revealed to be the true villain all along and is killed by the "villain" but now the "villain" seeks redemption.

3 types of people 1. “This sounds like a villain losing in a fight” 2. “This reminds me of some hopeless romantic/cheating” 3. This song fire

「これが最後かしら」のメロディが好きすぎる✨

This makes me feel like I've finally killed my lifelong enemy.... But at what cost? For what? Why? Now I seek redemption

I just fell in love with this song..

This song is so addicting. It feels luxurious and it has scenario type of vibe.

2:43 is a absolute bop

the "Lord give me one more chance" fallowed by the " I wonder if its the last '' hits so hard

I love how her voice isnt forced at all and its pretty natural. what a nice song to vibe to late at night 👍

I've seen lots more views on this video lately so I wanted to give some song suggestions of 70s/80s Japanese music for people to listen to, enjoy your trip down this rabbithole :) Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love Miki Mastubara - Stay with me Taeko Onuki - Tokai Junko Ohashi - I love you so Junko Yagami - Imagination Anri - Shyness boy CINDY - Watashi wo shinjite ite Takako Mamiya - Midnight Joke Mariya Takeuchi - September Tomoko Aran - I'm in love Junko Ohashi - Telephone number

I'm not Christian but.... LAWD GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE 🙏 edit: I understand the song has nothing to do w Christianity can't yall take a fucking joke 💀

I can't explain it, but listening to this feels very surreal, like it's melancholy materialized. The song sounds like you're on the passenger seat on a car to hell. You can't stop it, and this song is playing on the radio.

Idc about all the sad Tiktok edits and the sad lyrics/meaning this song taste like pure happiness

0:48 That’s like the viral iconic part of the song for those who don’t wanna look

色んな海外の人が日本の曲褒めてくれてるの嬉しいな

In the end, TikTok found this song, but hey, I don’t hate it. We’re just here to vibe after all

I can imagine this song playing over the end of part 6.

I feel like this song would make a great op/ending for evangelion

この曲深夜3時30分ぐらいに聞くとすごくテンション上がる

This song makes me feel like a villan and I just got victory and now I'm celebrating

My interpretation of the "Lord give me one more chance" is intense regret as the only thing I hold dear dies in my hands as I sob and almost detest the lord, begging them to not take my last hope and light away. I imagine someone screaming as they scream this to the sky on a rainy day. This seems significantly darker and dramatic than most comments I've read o-o

This is the song I’d listen to on a late night drive down a mountain and imagine myself drifting with some friends

i can imagine a character regretting their choice and praying "LORD GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE!" and i can imagine how their voice are shakky but also loud and so desperate

I imagine hearing this in a super old school anime

i cannot believe this song came out 43 years ago, this song is a masterpiece!!

TikTokでこの曲を知れて良かったです。心が懐かしくて切なくなる。

i love taeko so much, she's so talented and her voice is beautiful

0:48 is what you are all here for

No cause when I first heard the song I thoughts it was an edit, but omg this is a masterpiece.

This sounds like what a club singer would be crooning as the early hours approaches, a destitute business man blowing what little money he has left on a roll of the dice, trying to drown his sorrows in booze as he stumbles from bar to bar

Her voice is so majestic

00:52 and 1:02

how are people confused it’s late 70’s lmao it sounds exactly like it. Late 70’s musicians knew what they were doing

This song makes me feel like I’m a main character in a anime and I’m about to die but I don’t die and I keep pushing

まさか1978年の頃にはこれが43年後に世界で流行るとは思わない

I am in love with this song

that 1 dislike really speaks for itself

0 dislikes as it should be

Her voice is so

this song ages like fine pure wine

Loved this song since I first heard it in middle school!

I CAN LITERALLY FEEL THIS SONG IN MY BODY OMFG WHAT

The 2 ppl that disliked r just mad that the song is actually good

The fact that this is so old yet still used a lot and hasnt died at all✨💅

This feels like when the main character loses everything and then starts trying to fix their life

Listen to this song in the middle of night feels good. Imma wake up at 4 am to vibe with this song

Taeko Onuki music is so beautiful , this is one of the first songs i ever listened to. I especially love her sun shower album. Overall her music never fails to make me sing along.

ENGLISH LYRICS: i awaken before daybreak the darkness hides its breath i chase after the stillness the words won’t be found lord, give me one more chance i wonder if this will be the last? lord, give me one more chance one way or another, i want to do something about it. right now, if you let go as will merely pass by one another. it will be as it is. i cannot meet with you anymore. lord, give me one more chance i wonder if this will be the last? lord, give me one more chance one way or another, i want to do something about it. right now, if you let go we will merely pass by one another. it will be as it is. i cannot meet with you anymore. no more than to be together. i don’t want to cheat. whenever i think back, an answer can’t be found. lord, give me one more chance i wonder if this will be the last? lord, give me one more chance one way or another, i want to do something about it. lord, give me one more chance i wonder if this will be the last? lord, give me one more chance one way or another, i want to do something about it.

I’m here because a gym bro used this song in an Instagram reel and I wanted to know more. I’m glad I followed him when I did, this is going in the workout playlist. 🤝 Y’all have a blessed day and remember that God didn’t make us to stay down, but to rise to the challenge. Full send.

I listen to this every time I’m on an express subway in Manhattan. It just has the right feel speeding through the stations!

ちょっとジャズっぽい感じ好き

This is my first time actually hearing it and yet it feels like I heard it years ago...this sounds like late night Adult Swim in 2003..kinda makes me wanna cry ngl 😅🥺

Y’all have been sleeping on this song for TOO LONG!!

This song was in my recommendations when I was listening to Takeuchi and other Japanese artists. I am grateful I clicked on the video, love listening to this day.

Ahhh this song with winter tho... Ride your car and opan all your windows and turn up the volume

This song is so- beautiful 😭

Can someone recommend more songs like this

What a voice! What a tune! How much awesomeness can you fit into a tune 5:37 mins long? Tokai is amazing too.

LORD GIVE ME ONEEEE MOREEE CHANCEEEE

This song is legendary, it’s up there with plastic love, tasogare, and stay with me 🤌🏾

The "lord give me one more chance" hit different

I remember first hearing this song when i was 15 and it’s still my favourite song to this day. I always come back to it 🫶 what an outstanding piece of art

1 dislike from a person who didn't get one more chance by lord

This song is just like the world's broke you but it's make you more prettier and stronger

You guys really make this an anime reference

“😩Lord give me one more chance”😭 Beautiful.🤩

Idk what drugs they put into this but it gives me serotonin

This gives me the vibes and chills

I AM IN LOVE WITH HER VOICE

This song makes me tear up and i don't know why

This hits different when you listen at 4am

i just bought a new dress and it matches with this song!

this songs a masterpiece frfr

This sounds like it should be the soundtrack to yu yu Hakusho

This is a song that makes tou happy but sad at the same time for no reason

This feels perfect for an 80's anime opening that just shows a black Mercedes driving through a city at night.

I heard about this song 5 days ago, and I'm in love with it.

I love this song SOOO MUCH it gives me so much confidence

NO BECAUSE IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR TGIS SONG FOR A WHOLE MONTH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS

ジブリに出てきそうな透きとおった優しい声で素敵
