I'll keep working on this one, although I assume not many will check these anyways. I can add links to youtube uploads as well. |
GhandhiLion
08.15.19 | coolio some of these are not city pop though. (Akira Ito?) |
foxblood
08.15.19 | They pretty much all are generally except that one and I think it still fits in with the aesthetic. That one can be called 'space age pop' but it's just weird ambient I guess. Going for ocean-y music |
RunOfTheMill
08.15.19 | i literally made a list about city pop last week, where were u in my time of need |
RunOfTheMill

foxblood
08.15.19 | most are on youtube and some can be hard to find, but yeah most aren't on spotify |
foxblood
08.15.19 | If somebody has recs I'll take them too, always looking for more of this stuff |
Scheumke

Asdfp277
08.15.19 | slaps hard |
Lucman
08.15.19 | I will definitely be checking some of these (or all of them lol). Great list |
foxblood
08.15.19 | nah it's 4/5 minimum because it's fantastic music with quality musicianship, don't be dismissive because it's Japanese.
glad you like 1 pika!
hope you find some stuff you like lucman |
samwise2000
08.15.19 | City pop is relaxing, yet fun and dance-able |
ramon.
08.16.19 | city pop is the only thing that's managed to convince me learning the bass isn't a waste of time |
oltnabrick
08.16.19 | havent listened to a city pop album since like 2015

oltnabrick
08.16.19 | will check some of these tho foxblood |
Let
08.16.19 | Such an awesome idiosyncratic style of music, love 6, 8, and 13. Have you listened to Kaoru Akimoto? |
DamnVanne
08.16.19 | Listened to 46. Does this style use other instruments besides synth? |
foxblood
08.16.19 | that one is synth heavy because it's also an ambient album but it can be jazz oriented like 45, 44, 1 or AOR oriented like 30. |
Relinquished
08.16.19 | "Benito Mussolini's Granddaughter made a Japanese city pop album.. Yes this actually exists"

Flugmorph

foxblood

bloc
10.05.19 | Interesting to see this bumped, I've been on a city pop kick myself as of late |
Asdfp277
10.05.19 | will fix some of the artwork
>:[ |
Asdfp277
10.05.19 | nvm my internet is acting up rn |
Asdfp277
10.05.19 | there, i added artwork to about 13 albums and got bored lol |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.05.19 | You worked tirelessly to clean up our neighbourhood while I put this out of mind for a nit and went to sleep. The hero we don't deserve |
Asdfp277
10.06.19 | yeah, then the site gives us some downtime to rest lol |
Sinternet
10.06.19 | 'Benito Mussolini's Granddaughter made a Japanese city pop album..'
is this the fascist woman who cried when jim carrey posted the hanging mussolini thing on twitter
|
Asdfp277
10.06.19 | apparently so |
Asdfp277
10.06.19 | on a different note, i'm struggling to find decent quality artwork to upload :[
do y'all prefer your city pop album artwork to include the sidebar with japanese text on it ? |
foxblood
10.06.19 | thanks dude! I don't mind the obi strip in the album art pic since that's the way the album would appear when sealed |
Asdfp277
10.07.19 | still missing a lot, but the list doesn't look so empty now
bump ov city |
foxblood
10.07.19 | wow thanks! |
Keyblade
11.26.20 | "have no idea what this genre is, but bookmarked because fox"
now I do and I'm so glad I did. trying to get into this genre from youtube was so wack cuz it's been turned into a meme sort of like "lo-fi beats to study to" |
hal1ax
11.26.20 | Woah. This list is sick. I’ve been feeling this stuff lately |
MillionDead
11.27.20 | 14 is so amazing! |
Jasdevi087
11.27.20 | you should have mixed in like three or so vaporwave albums to see if anyone could spot the difference |
someone
11.27.20 | this list is god tier |
ComeToDaddy
11.27.20 | Amazing list, only heard the really popular stuff (1/2, 9, 10, 13, 14) but I'll check out some of the ones I don't know. I think my fave thing I've heard in the genre is Tatsuro Yamashita's 1989 live album "Joy", highly recommend if you haven't spun it. |
evilford
11.27.20 | Fox is a goat user so makes sense |
