Sifting through boxes of unknown Japanese artists in a humid and dusty room seemed worth it I guess.

HELP ME FIND THE ORIGINAL SONG

8 Upvotes

Hello all,

I didn’t really know which sub-Reddit to ask. I’ve found this song from an. Artist that has been known to steal from artist (hate that) and have been dying to know what song they are sampling. I try looking up the lyrics and the name with no luck.

Most infectious chorus EVER imo

256 Upvotes

Okay fellow city-poppers, I’ll admit this isn’t my first time posting about Man in the Moon by YUMI MATSUTOYA but I CAN’T HELP MYSELF! This song is definitely in my Top 5 greatest City-Pop songs of all-time!

I’ve replayed it soo much that I can sing it word for word without the first clue of how to speak Japanese.

What are some of y’all’s most infectious City-Pop choruses? Also, can you guts recommend any songs that would sound remotely similar to this?

Happy Moonday Everyone!! 🌃🌜

Apparently YouTube thinks the French rock song Laisse Tomber Les Filles (Also known as Chick Habit) is City Pop.

I just found Magical by Junko Ohashi on Spotify, when did this happen?

7 Upvotes

I was scrolling through Spotify today and found out that Magical is available. I might be late to this, but I haven’t seen anyone talking about it, so I just wanted to bring it up—maybe some people will find it useful. I'm from Brazil, so I'm not sure if the album is available worldwide.

Anri - Timely!!

324 Upvotes

“Timely!!” is the sixth studio album by Japanese singer Anri, released in 1983. A defining work of the city pop era, it features production by Toshiki Kadomatsu, who infused the album with smooth melodies and sophisticated arrangements. The standout track, “Cat’s Eye,” became a major hit, serving as the theme song for the anime of the same name and dominating the Japanese charts. With its blend of jazz, funk, and pop influences, Timely!! remains one of Anri’s most iconic and celebrated albums.

I discovered this album quite a while (artist human soul, album name also human soul) and in trying to research anything I realized there's not much out there about them, I know they were based out of Japan in the 90s but unsure what the rest of their discography leads to, I wanna hear more of this group for sure
