本質的な シティポップ 「ESSENTIAL CITY POP #2」

Another collection of essential city pop songs. I meant to make this earlier but kept forgetting about it. Also included some Tatsuro Yamashita in this one because the last compilation was lacking him altogether!

"In the early 1980s, with the spread of car stereos, the term City Pop came to describe a type of popular music... a breezy, mellow mixture of smooth jazz and album-oriented rock – often with elements of jazz fusion, jazz-funk, or boogie – which appealed to an older and more affluent Japanese audience.
