Tokyo (東京, Tōkyō?, "Eastern Capital") [toːkʲoː], English /ˈtoʊki.oʊ/; officially Tokyo Metropolis (東京都, Tōkyō-to?), is one of the 47 prefectures of Japan. Tokyo is the capital of Japan, the center of the Greater Tokyo Area, and the largest metropolitan area of the world. It is the seat of the Japanese government and the Imperial Palace, and the home of the Japanese Imperial Family. Tokyo is in the Kantō region on the southeastern side of the main island Honshu and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands. Tokyo Metropolis was formed in 1943 from the merger of the former Tokyo Prefecture (東京府, Tōkyō-fu?) and the city of Tokyo (東京市, Tōkyō-shi?).
The Tokyo Metropolitan government administers the 23 special wards of Tokyo (each governed as a city), which cover the area that was the city of Tokyo, as well as 39 municipalities in the western part of the prefecture and the two outlying island chains. The population of the special wards is over 8 million people, with the total population of the prefecture exceeding 13 million. The prefecture is part of the world's most populous metropolitan area with upwards of 35 million people and the world's largest urban agglomeration economy with a GDP of US$1.479 trillion at purchasing power parity in 2008, ahead of New York City metropolitan area, which ranks second on the list. The city hosts 47 of the Fortune Global 500 companies, the highest amount of any city.

The Lovemakers were an electropop/New Wave band from Oakland, California. The band was formed in the spring of 2002 by Scott Blonde (guitar, vocals) and Lisa Light (vocals, bass) who are the two core members. Light and Blonde met in 2002 via Blonde's manager, who Light was dating at the time. Shortly afterward Light left her boyfriend, and she began dating Blonde and joined his band Applesaucer. They were forced out of the band, reportedly for making out during practice. Afterward they formed their own band naming themselves The Lovemakers after the Japanese sexploitation film The Weird Lovemakers. They joined with Jason Proctor on keyboards to form the initial lineup.
The Lovemakers released a self-titled record in 2003. A second record, Times of Romance, was released on August 23, 2005 on Interscope Records new imprint Cherrytree. A single, "Prepare for the Fight", was put out in advance of the album's release date. The album also features Josh Freese on drums. In 2006, Proctor departed to return to his day job as a computer programmer full time.
Is it alright
If I sneak into your room at night?
And banish all the things
That make you lonely
Strange girl All dressed up in red
How come I just see you in bed
At night the dark hides nothing from me
Sunlight shines upon your face
Faraway eyes
Are you waiting for the darkness?
Do you want to
Well is it
Is it alright
If I sneak into your room at night?
And banish all the things
That make you lonely
Is it alright
[Background Singer:] (Is it alright)
If I just turn out the light
(Is it alright)
Make you stay 'til morning comes
And hold me
I can't understand
(I can't understand)
Why you only want me when I'm sleeping
Strange girl
All dressed up in blue
Don't care that I'm in love with you
It's not fair you never seem to notice
You walk past me in a daze
Lost in your mind
Do I have to wait 'til midnight?
Come to me I am waiting
Is it alright
If I sneak into your room at night?
And banish all the things
That make you lonely?
Is it alright
(Is it alright?)
If I just turn out the light
Make you stay 'til morning comes
And hold me
Is it alright
(Is it alright?)
Is it alright
(Is it alright?)
Is it alright to be lonely?
Is it alright
(Is it alright?)
Is it alright
(Is it alright?)
Is it alright to be lonely?
