I really like Chocolate lips, but only a few tracks from it are online anywhere. Really solid Album.

>>69035465
Never heard of it.
I'll try to track it down somehow.

>>69035554

Here's the few I could find. May not technically be citypop, but if it isn't then I have no idea what this Genre us suppose to sound like.

Is City Pop basically Japanese New Wave?

>>69035654

Who knows. I use to think this was Citypop but Japan mixes so much jazz into their pop music at random I can't really tell. Gotta love music with Vocorders in them.

Japanese New Wave is Japanese New Wave.

It's on soulseek faghats, get on it.

No, they were markedly different scenes.

However, a lot of people dipped their feet in both scenes. Several producers (ex: the three YMO members (most specifically, Shigeru Suzuki) were responsible for big movements in both, as well.

The City Pop movement started out first, as well.

Sorry, didn't mean YMO. Meant to say Happy End.

One too many alcohol beverages tonight.

>>69035418
this is actually kinda interesting enough for those jerkoff microgenre spastics to make a scene around. pretty cool.

>>69035776
I'd rather check it out in a calm manner.

>>69035776

Ok, but I won't like it.

the beginning of the end.

Why is this shit so good, friends?

>>69036040

Because it's happy music. This is what people compose when everyone in Japan has a shit ton of money. The entire genre dies in 1992 when the economic bubble burst & everyone lost their jobs.

Shut up, bitch.

>>69036077
City-pop died because it sounded dated as fuck after 1986. There was still happy music after 1992, albeit with different production and different melodies.

This is a fucking banger and it came out in 1995. I wish more people would listen to Japanese stuff outside of City-Pop and Baby Metal.

Not really. It depends on the song. Even the album in OP's image has a few sad songs.

>>69035418
I just listened to this a few days ago and I really liked it.

>>69035764
I listened to this too, Is City Pop what this genre is called? I don't know much about Japanese music

>Is City Pop what this genre is called?
