Seriously tho.. imagine playing this at night in the middle of a bright beautiful city. No worries, no stress, no concerns of the world, just you and the wheel going wherever feels right.

[@zeigfeild]

@@supernightwingman That really is the irony of this music, this period of time was one of immense expansion via Capitalism for Japan, their people had no time to live out the lyrics in any of these songs, they were stuck in an office or a factory

Man not to this exact playlist but I drove all around America making deliveries out of my promaster during covid across the nation for private shipments and honestly this type of music (yacht rock) driving across America when it’s just you and not a soul hundreds of miles around you and it’s just you, the road, the van, the smooth jams that make you feel like your on the ocean , controlling a yacht. It is a drug I tell you It’s been like 2 years and I still just think about how it made me feel Truly indescribable America is a beautiful place

[@bamuz]

26:26 So far I gotta say this is like the perfect overseas yacht rock mix I appreciate your taste Very smooth playlist so far

[@ntrujillo]

I've been listening to City Pop for a while now and this is probably one of the best playlist mixes I've been able to come across. Thank you.

[@Parananza]

i really appreciate this kind of sound. When i'm sad it makes me more strong and sometimes also happy. Thanks for the compilation

[@Darkl0ud_Productions]

I can't agree with this more... There is something that says "hold on, you got this, just keep moving forward."

[@DEADication86]

Can't really go wrong when you open a Japanese city pop playlist with Plastic Love. Quintessential, and I can just go from there; it's truly a golden era of chill. Stay classy.

[@ianthepelican2709]

This is 100% my most favourite playlist on youtube. Really brings back memories of warm summer nights cruising in the 80s. Thankyou from Australia.

Write the songs down or download it. I had a favorite playlist too once, until youtube thought: "hey, let's delete it."

Absolutely loving this Summer Japanese City Pop playlist! The vibes are so nostalgic and perfect for sunny days. Each song takes me back to a time of carefree summer nights. Thanks for sharing these amazing tracks! ☀🎶

[@loficity1980s]

Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. Or they are alone, they miss someone, they are depressed, hurt, marked by the past, they have people that nobody knows, they have secrets that you would not believe. They want, they dream and they hope. And now, you're sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you won't feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed by the past, don't worry about the future and focus on today. If today is not so good, don't worry! Tomorrow is another opportunity. If you're reading this, please share it to share and make others feel better. Have a nice day!

Вау...! 😊 Как классно слушать такую приятную музыку, в свои 37 лет, являясь россиянкой и проживая всю жизнь в маленькой провинции России. Ощущение, что я снова вернулась в детство. Музыка в целом, бит, этот популярный тогда, ритм, спокойный вокал... без этих, уже надоевших, украшений в голосе, как сейчас модно, и без гнусавости, когда поют в нос и как будто что-то жуют во время пения. Моя душа и слух отдыхают, когда я это слушаю. Благодарю вас 🙏🏻♥️

[@tommyburkepainter]

This music is casually optimistic & suggests we're all living in a romantic 80's film. The horns are critical to the "city" feel. In Tokyo at midnight it was perfection
