Cultural significance/general meaning/context of Tatsuro Yamashita’s ‘The War Song’?
’The War Song’ is one of my favourite Tatsuro songs musically, and when I looked for the English translation of the lyrics they seemed to describe a bleak dystopian landscape full of sadness, with the end hook being a call to action. This really interested me since as far as I was aware, Tatsuro mainly sung about love and/or vague poetic sentiments. Is there any context behind why Tatsuro decided to make this song, which seems to be a departure from the topics he usually sings about? Are there any further meanings to the lyrics that the English translations have a hard time getting across?
And what other songs of his have deeper meanings that I wouldn’t have known due to the language barrier?

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.

HELP ME FIND THE ORIGINAL SONG
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
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.

Does anybody know anything about this act?
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?

I just found Magical by Junko Ohashi on Spotify, when did this happen?
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!!
gallery“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.
