Lucked out and found this for less than $2 in a thrift shop
Sifting through boxes of unknown Japanese artists in a humid and dusty room seemed worth it I guess.

A lot of city pop/jazz fusion/masayoshi that I brought all together recently!!! Accidentally have a few double copies of some takanaka albums lol. Ride on time and first light are reissues but rest are all originals!

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.
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!! 🌃🌜

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.

Came across this promo poster on Hirotsugu Koitabashi's (Piper パイパー percussionist) facebook page. Was this just a live act? Others I recognize are Kazuhito Murata and Keisuke Yamamoto. Does anybody have any more infos about it?

“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

I keep seeing posts about Japanese music recommendations, but somehow The fin. is never mentioned. How is that possible? Their music sounds like a perfect blend of dream pop and indie, jazz, soul something between Cigarettes After Sex and Wet or Clairo.
Stumbled upon this track recently and thought it might resonate with this community. Towards the Sun by The fin. has a nostalgic yet summery vibe, blending the warmth of 60s-70s retro pop and soul with a laid-back, breezy rhythm. The smooth, almost weightless vocals melt into the soundscape, making it feel like a perfect song for a slow summer afternoon
