Yo, anybody in here listen to city pop? Future funk fans look elsewhere.

For the uninitiated:

"City Pop is a breezy, mellow mixture of Smooth Jazz and AOR, often with additional elements of Jazz Fusion, Jazz-Funk or Boogie. Commonly cited as a facet of the prosperous "bubble economy"-era in Japan, City Pop is essentially a "mood" or "lifestyle" genre which appealed to an older and more affluent Japanese audience during the 1980s."

Currently listening to some Toshiki Kadomatsu

Discuss? Recs? etc.

Taeko Onuki's early albums are my personal favorites, but Tatsuro Yamashita is fantastic.

A couple of great jams from Minako Yoshida:

This one might be a bit early to be true city pop, but it's so goddamn chill, like a Japanese Laura Nyro singing over an Al Green track:

>tfw you'll never experience the burst of the economic bubble and see your qt wife drive off into the sunset with your Toyota Celica and pension and are forced to live in a grimy corner apartment that smells distinctly like old frying oil and are kept up at night by the sound of your elderly neighbor throwing shit at her pet cats
Thank god
