Lately, I’m into Citypop. As everyone else.
It’s familiar. It’s groovy. It’s soothing. It connects with a lot of people and gives you a very positive feeling.
I follow the YouTube Channel Music Radar Clan which is an excellent channel where the creator does small documentaries on a variety of topics related to music and musicians. If you understand Spanish, I highly recommend it.
In his video on Citypop he showed how this genre was the portrait of a growing economy and positivism that Japan lived in the 80s. Consumerism was everywhere, all was good as there was money and things to do with it. It was a golden age for the people living there apparently.
