Product Description
Wonderful 4 CD set with 72 songs based on four themes from the golden age of city pop from 1970s and 1980s. City Pop as a term began to be used from the early 2010s and these days is well known in Japan and overseas. Compiled by Hitoshi Kurimoto, who has written books on City Pop, with 1984 cover illustration by Hideto Suzuki, who did the artwork for Tatsuro Yamashita's For You among many others. Features some of the biggest artists and biggest songs, alongside lesser known tunes and artists but well worth discovering. Should appeal to both afficiandos and beginnners alike.
