I've always loved bands such as Casiopea and Yellow Magic Orchestra and I was introduced to City Pop few years ago through a mix by Ed Motta which opened my ears to a whole new world. So this 90 min selection gathers my favorite city pop classics (so far), along some jazzier numbers.
And despite the temptation I didn't include Plastic Love. :)
