    I think its a really vague/broad term. Im not very familiar tho

    It's just a genre of japanese pop music that is comprised of their take on funk, soul, rnb, disco and 80s western pop music.

    Anemoia, nostalgia for a time you never lived in or experienced, is the real sauce behind city pop imo. Idk how it taps into that feeling so well and it's not just because it utilizes old genres of music.

    I don’t think that’s the sound city pop is trying to achieve. It’s got its own, pretty distinct sound to it that makes it “city pop”, shouldn’t judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree you feel me?

    If you’ve got like 45 minutes to kill you should listen to this album, it’s one of my all time favorite albums across the board

    The intro, Storm, Hot Shot, and Rainy Walk are my favorites. You can find them individually on YouTube if you don’t wanna listen to the whole thing

    This sounds very good

    Some of the best summer music ever made

    Fun fact I was introduced to City Pop indirectly from Jesus is King SELAH

    A YouTube comment said ye stole the chords from Ocarina of Time Gerudo Valley by Koji Kondo.

    And another person said who cares because Koji Kondo stole the chords to Great Fairy Theme from Tatsuro Yamashita?

    I’ve enjoyed the genre ever since
