For some reason 37 years after the release of this legendary city pop (shiti poppu) song they made a music video for it. Haven't been this excited since chinese democracy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_lC2O1oIew

I got lucky and made myself sick of this song before the Trunp admin but i did take the time to watch a music theory guy break down what makes this song catchy. It was a nice time. Also, "shiti poppu?" What's going on there?

First time listener, I can immediately see (er, hear) the appeal. It at first sounds like a more recent song trying to sound vintage while simultaneously knowing it really is vintage, and it produces this feeling like a genuine new iteration of the past, which is the nostalgia dream right there. It definitely helps that it's in a subgenre outside of the west, which makes it a little harder to place, like it was made in "198X."

I've listened to dozens of City Pop compilations and I am pretty sure they only ever made like five or so songs in that genre. Either that or all the songs are extremely similar. Or people suck at making compilations. Or Hitler is back. But those are the ONLY possibilities.

My favorite least favorite city pop is Robert Tepper's "Angel of the City" from Cobra, which I have seen at least twenty times if you count being mentally unavailable during many forgettable scenes.

My least favorite favorite is Gregg Allman's "I'll Be Holding On" from Ridley Scott's globetrotting epic crime thriller Black Rain, featuring Michael Douglas as Nick "Sly" Stallone. It was very unfortunately timed because that was the same year the documentary Black Rain came out and although technically both did address the aftereffects of the atomic bombs, for Mr. Scott it was more of a plot point about a Macguffin driving home how Michael Douglas' character got to punch the esteemed Yusuke Matsuda's character so hard he later died. It was several months later, of bladder cancer, so no charges were filed. In a strange twist of fate, many moons later Michael Douglas would reveal he himself had gotten mouth cancer from oral sex, and when asked who from, he was reported to have stared at a sharpened wood stake to the right of the interviewer's chair.
