10 Minutes of C i t y p o p Bass (Mariya Takeuchi, Toshiki Kadomatsu, Tatsuro Yamashita, + more)

A collection of bass covers originally recorded for the Instagram-based #10albumsin10days challenge. Decided to go the extra mile and record short bass covers of a song from each of those albums, and thought i'd compile them all into a handy youtube video. Enjoy!

1:29 I love the ghost notes there... The bass line in Daydream is one of my most favourites :)

[@f.joaquinrevilla]

I like the way you feel the music

[@RealShurikenX]

I'm so happy I finally found the name of this genre. Been wanting to learn how the theory of this kind of music works, and the way the slap bass comes to life. Study time.

[@robertputeanu6125]

Man that slap bass riff at 3:35 hits haaaard wohoo

[@clement83]

[@marshmanfelb]

This channel is ridiculously underrated and it fits a niche that I feel is not exactly uncommon. Subbed

[@adamwlove]

Awesome!

[@limuelmendoza5356]

DAMN YOUR CHANNEL HAS BEEN MY PLAYLIST FOR A MONTH NOW HAHAHA

[@lukascoelho4421]

[@dongbinsuh3959]

Amazing!!!!!

[@LunatiqueRob]

Hahaha, that final triumphant laugh. All musicians can relate.

[@AbrahamRodrigo2707]

Man I never knew summer connection had a sick ass bass line! Keep up the good work my dude P.S can I request 二番目のaffair by Anri from her Heaven Beach album

[@MaksimchukFL]

Man! Saw your post in reddit and now i saw it again! I think the best and most groovy of all it's Fujimal's Who Are You. As a bassist i always thinked slap is overrated. Keep that playing!

[@solidzak3732]

Airport lady! Such a great bass section

[@jbeeyes]

i really like mystical composer

[@ismagarcia6158]

Que rollazo llevas, que groove!!! :D

[@stephenmcgrathbass]

Love it man

[@stephenmcgrathbass]

Just so you know if you add this timestamp 00:00 intro all your stamps will appear on the video

[@prin1212]

Thanks for making this. I'm so glad that I accidentally found your channel. : )

[@petton_]

I saw your video for the first time today. I wonder why it hasn't been praised more. I think the biggest attraction of city pop is bass play. Sorry for the poor English using Google Translate.

[@CoolGuy-yk9kd]

i agree. the bass in citypop is 100% the biggest reason why i fell in love with the instrument, it sounds so damn cool.

[@lagchun_official]

nice one man !

[@vee2863]

Alright dude, i legit got emotional, can you not?

[@kevinmarks13]

That bassline at begining so sastifying

[@Kiyoshido]

oh boy.... this is what i'm talking about!

[@cbedm]

genius!

[@thalesgoncalvessilva2880]

Nice playing omg, I love city pop and I am learning to play bass, do you know any site that I can get tabs or sheets from these musics?

[@yaoyao4751]

I think your cover of Airport Lady was included in this one compilation of Japanese citypop that was uploaded here a while back. I've been trying to find it for days now, and I'd just realized it may have been deleted due to copyright issues. Anyway, your plays are godly! Thank you for letting us hear such talent. I'm really glad I was able to find your channel. :)

[@thecitypopbassist]

Wow thank you so much! Glad to have you here!

[@SoraSatoh]

sooo goood.... Lovely thick/solid sound and very funky touch... Super amazing! I can dance forever with this. :D

[@thecitypopbassist]

Thank you so much Masa!!! I enjoy your videos as well, hope we can keep doing this stuff for a long time!

[@SoraSatoh]

@@thecitypopbassist Thank you for your really nice words! ohhh yes!!! It'd be really cool!! :) I'm excited for that! :)

[@brainfragment2975]

Very cool

[@rudyabiakl5900]

Airport lady / cat's eye are the best

[@logankay981]

What an appsolutely God gifted person 🫶 Amazing.

[@thecitypopbassist]

thank you, and blessings!! 🙏🏽

[@morriswyrm8859]

You rock.

[@yky1122]

Wow!! Awesome Bass!! You have great sense and taste on bass! I didn’t know that cat’s eye’s bass solo was thumbs up & down. I did it all down stroke, it was very tough stuff :)

[@thecitypopbassist]

I actually just sold out on that part and double thumbed haha 😅 it sounds like it’s an all downstroke part though - I just tend to play double thumb sixteenth notes whenever I can!

[@guayando_j6559]

I literally want to become something like this man.

[@MinhTran-iv6cf]

Can you do a playlist include each song please. I want the full version with your clean bassline bro

[@F1nnyF6]

Groovy as fuck, and I love how much you get into it!

[@iamnotmi7340]

We need full version of airport lady plz!!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@gglibert3238]

I had never heard that round and round song before but I’m not surprised. Have you noticed the song good friend from adventure has a striking resemblance to Bernard wright’s who do you love?

[@CoreanEarthSpace]

very good very very good

[@acatwhopurrs5031]

By any chance, do you have the full video of the Mystical Composer play-along? I'm learning it myself on a different instrument and will also learn it on the bass. Awesome selection here.

[@marcogomez2232]

Great compilation and skills :0 Keep it up dude! Just out of curiosity, do you use new strings anytime you’re recording, or how often do you change them?

[@thecitypopbassist]

Marco Gómez thanks! It depends on the song/context really. I generally prefer the sound of deader strings so I left the same set on for this whole run of songs, but I’ll change them out for newer strings if I’m doing a song with more top end sizzle.

[@pH327]

Super bassist.

[@Habeat]

OMG!!! NICE BASSIST~😄😄

[@ereshmi6908]

The fact that this has no dislikes shows something

[@calmwalks6770]

This guy was born out the womb with a bass in his hand. 🙏

[@Alwayshungry305]

Slap the bass. Great job 👏
