CITY POP AND FISH MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS!!!

[@ellec7188]

Just wait till you hear about popcorn fish :o

[@XxThatGuyOverTherex1]

​@@PyroMoopserWould you rather city flavored pop or fish flavored pop?

[@sugarpeprrr7532]

ahhh me too!!!

[@idontknowwhereimgoingbutim5238]

i found my people

[@permasneeze6977]

SAME

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

A City Pop album about fishes is just as delightful as a smell of the ocean breeze. Aquarium City (the first song) gives me Caseopia vibes.

[@mr.ravioli6793]

It definetly reminds me of "take me"

[@Gamemaster64]

It reminds me a lot of Masayoshi Takanaka as well. I love jazz fusion

[@kyleboddy5711]

I was going to say the same thing for Caseopia. It's high energy chill.

[@joshuakirkham9593]

I remember Aquarium City. $25 dollars entry fee, but it included 2 free (aquatic only) rides and a Aqua-Cola.

[@oxygen813]

You’re so right, I was thinking the same thing (I love casiopea)

[@mileshill7196]

You can’t do this to me, I still haven’t stopped listening to Rat Taxi!

[@BecLopez-f8w]

greatness overload I understand 💀

[@kikaiman6508]

Sameeeee

[@cancelcasey]

Lool same

[@RyleOswald]

"Don't tap on the glass." THEN WHY IS IT SUCH A BANGER?

[@Garwik]

Put this on while I rode my motorcycle to the beach. Absolutely lovely.

[@kristenapostol6288]

That's the dream, man.

[@Lemonnitenite]

Man I wish that were me

[@dracotoy]

A CITY POP ALBUM??? we eatin good today It was 10/10 as usual

[@Pedro_Larroza]

The way Louie understands the essence of each genre and distills it in compositions with his own signature - that are, also, absolute BOPS - will never not blow my mind.

[@slowbro1337]

Reminds me of Masoyoshi Takanaka, very nice. Quite enjoyed mackerel minute

[@NukaColaLight]

Same, very sunny album ~

[@LucidButtonMasher]

i thought the same, suspiciously so. then the next song at 20:21 sounds like the exact riff from Takanaka's Sexy Dance at 1:13 in that video. Very....similar

[@dpr74]

@@LucidButtonMasher bros first time hearing about sampling

[@ZAAALLGO]

Noooo waaaaay. My favorite artist branching out into my favorite genre.

[@mateo0123]

they mix together so well too!

[@cyankoopa8111]

He's done one before too! Breezy Slide, a collab with BDG.

[@Obsessive_cartoon_drawer]

City pop has slowly become one of my favorite genres, it’s like my 2 favorite genres, jazz and rock had an awesome baby

[@DoranSteven]

A soundtrack like this could save the most God-forsaken Sonic game

[@SephoWepho]

This would work so well as a video game soundtrack; just play a different one of these tracks depending on where you are/what you're doing in aquarium city, and it would fill everything with so much life. The vibes would be incredible.

[@tag3434]

Masayoshi takanaka vibes, perfect. hope it comes in CD/Vinyl in the future

[@neptunite5973]

the first song / aquarium city is literally SO GOOD!!! perfect summer vibes

[@Vailskibum]

So good!!!

[@softy5447]

CALLED IT, he set himself in motion making those 2 sea themed moog synth tracks

[@Jaynautic]

absolutely NAILED the city pop sound. straight from japan in the 80s

[@zabrina1019]

Perfect soundtrack for working at an oceanographic institute!

[@masbotalpha684]

I'm just sitting here and let this album heal the gulf in my soul between wanting the world to be a sci-fi dystopia, and the world actually being a sci-fi dystopia. Amazing album, thank you so much, you're an inspiration

[@Saucy2112]

Man... I just love Louie Zong,. The art, music, and vibe of this album just entirely slaps.

[@l33tsaber]

I've been trying all morning to put into words what Aquarium City evokes for me. A city of fish that humans come to see? A city of humans that fish come to see? Both simultaneously? Do the fish have careers snd PTA meetings while also just being regular fish? In any case, it also gives me the whimsy of an experimental Dreamcast-era game... good stuff!

[@maromania7]

I'm trying to catch up on your discography and it's like trying to swim upstream, 10/10 would continuously get swept away by citypop again

[@McgurganatorZX_Live]

I love how the animated album cover looks how I remember webpages feeling back once upon a time. Excellent job and keep it up!

[@dl_supertroll]

I'm a simple man, I see sunfish I like

[@rkrkrk999]

mola mola mola

[@paulaschmaula]

well marry me then

[@arex7559]

I can't believe it's called sunfish in English... In Italy it's moon fish (pesce luna). Why is everything so confusing

[@kai_surfs7701]

@@arex7559 They look like the moon sorta, and they float up at the surface of the sea with the sun. They're called Mola Mola because they mola mola.

[@webeweird2438]

I love them! The fact that their scientific name (mola mola) translates to ‘millstone millstone’ is so silly!

[@_itsmissing]

i really appreciate that you captured the vibe of the genre and gave it your own spin without it sounding just like a pastiche of one or two big citypop artists' sounds. real funky stuff!

[@DarkMage_scrab]

I'm fully convinced this year has some of Louie's best releases. I absolutely love the genre choice and how this album flows!!!

[@JustSomeMustard]

This is one of Mustard's favorite releases of the year. They thank you for making this.

[@idavid8391]

This album cover is so stylish and cool. Your creativity continually impresses, Louie! Can't wait to share this with my one friend who is OBSESSED with city pop.

[@CVerse]

Takanaka’s All of Me hit big on KZbin. We gotta get this one to grow too!

[@ruthmussar246]

city pop has always been my "sound of the summer" :)

[@chloehughes6198]

Idk if you're out this or you'll read this but I see myself in the album it is indescribable this is my favorite album of all time I love fish I love city pop I love this album I can't stop making my friends listen to it Thanks for the good music 🐟

[@samanthaw.6929]

The chillness of these tunes is off the charts.

[@abercrombierye3483]

4:22 Dolphin Destiny: I knew our love was as deep as the the blue, Barbara, but we were two nautical worlds apart and so with with blubbering sorrow I told her the sad, half ton truth. "We were not meant to be, Barbara Manatee. though our lives must go on, but as I promised to a zong, a long time ago, I will dolphin-ish what I started, serving humanity over manatee. Go now my beloved and seize your own destiny!" - Dolson the Dolphin.

[@NotDr.Evil137]

I heard she doesn't speak french 🤔

[@abercrombierye3483]

​@@NotDr.Evil137 She was desperate to go the ball, there ought to have been someone to fit the bill.

[@tooshietom]

1:41 - 2:10 is a certified banger

[@eugene-p2t]

Sir, 3:52 DOLPHIN DESTINY is Threateningly good...

[@wxlurker]

Gonna listen to this as I do my aquarium water change 🕺 🐟 💃

[@Lemonnitenite]

What type of fishies ya got ?

[@kasonjm]

I was not expecting to see a Louie Zong city pop album but I'm so here for it!

[@simplesmiles3530]

Oh heck yeah! Some Zong songs are just what I needed to lift my spirits from this week. Ohh~ and the vibes are immaculate~💗💃🏼

[@geenstagni1060]

Deep down, I always knew Louie would release the most banger city pop album ever - 🐟

[@mikomakowski7907]

Now this is a “Hey, come on, MOVE!” playlist Only I don’t want this to stop ever, it’s just so good

[@nintenplsdont128]

the variation on the breezy slide intro lick around 1:06 is crazy good

[@gulliblepenguin27]

Man I can't believe how consistenly Louie puts out bangers

[@vengefulharmony1188]

I've listened to this so many times in the two weeks it's been out. Lovely work! I've been following your music for quite some time and a city pop album is right up my alley. You mimicked the sound super well.

[@codacoffee3679]

8:49 that lick! 👀

[@rocksrntpeople8869]

This is a prime example of why I instantly click on any new albums from you! You are legit one of my favorite artists right now. Keep it up!!✨

HONEY, HONEY WAKE UP NEW LOUIE ZONG ALBUM

[@danmartinezrobles5765]

OMG NEW LOUIE ALBUM ?????? YOU MADE MY FRIDAY AT WORK BETTER OMG THNKS

[@TheDolphinTuna]

You really captured the genre well, but it still has that Louie Zong flair that we all know and love

[@RollieMcSplat]

Hmmm Flying Fish Funk sounding like a Fearless Flyers song cannot be a coincidence! Love it

[@laimfunk]

Your work always blows me away man. Fantastic job by you and the other musicians who helped on this album.

[@tiramusubi]

Oh man, I love your music and I LOVE city pop. This caught my ears and my heart; hook, line, and sinker.

[@driprappy]

Eel Express gives me Custom Robo funky vibes. I love it. I discovered you through RAT TAXI, but i love your style.

[@KeenanMaistry]

Great work on this! KOF always has the greatest drip that is very traditional meets street wear. I really hope the Max Impact characters come back in the 2D games, their designs were top notch, even if their games weren't.

[@FlOotch]

It’s my birthday and this is exactly my vibe! Thank you for making my day!!!

[@PenCatStudio]

Little late, but I hope u had a fantastic b-day :]>

Just got to Dolphin Destiny, I screamed out loud when I saw this relatively new release because I haven't been able to go online as often and I'm so glad I caught this, awesome music as always!

not tuna turnpike hitting me with the lick 😭

Fishy pop

[@spippyflipling]

Good stuff as always. It's quite fun to recognize parts of songs that you took inspiration from and then took your own spin on.

[@an_annoying_cat]

flying fish funk for sure was inspired by hi-ya! on masayoshi takanaka's alone

[@bagindasubur]

this is so good..!!!!! modern city pop and japanese fusion
