I born in 2005 but I love japnese old song city pop❤️❤️❤️

I think it's mainly to do with the fact that many of these kids didn't grow up listening to funk, r&b and disco songs in the '70s-'80s and just listened to anime and video games music. I cringe whenever I see comments of people saying this music is "superior" to western music, I'm like no baby they're imitating what western artist; particularly Black ones; were doing at the time. The world would be nothing without contributions from Black people.

Isn't westerners listening to city pop a 2014-18 thing?

Dentsu should be top 1. In general press/sales/marketing agencies are the absolute worst

The stock market is definitely picking up pace right now, but I still think investors should be careful at this time. I'm actually a newbie in this space, so I'm open to hearing other investors' take on this.

What is worse is that there is an increasing number of obnoxious tourists...

japan hasnt ran the world's largest railroad anything in 10 years. the best railway is in China.

❤🙏

And here we are Trumpenomics 2.0 😅

Well at least Virtua Fighter is confirmed to come back

What is the very first track?

Wait... Theres a subway in Kyoto? Where? I'm serious lol. I thought it was buses or those little old limited trains or nothing. I will say though - I'm here right now, and the buses have been excellent... Even if they weren't for my tourist ass 🥲

City Pop is coming back for the same reason 80s and 90s culture came back in the US: it harkens to a time considered "better" by the newer generation. Japan and the US were arguably at their peaks in the 80s, and so GenZ and late Millenials feel nostalgic not for the music itself, but for a time they wish they could have been a part of.

Pop and dance music have been obsessed with rhythm for the past 30 years, while ignoring harmony for the most part. City pop has very strong harmonic hooks, which now feel fresh and novel again.

I'm a member of Gen Z, and got into City Pop through a compilation of 80s City Pop songs I stumbled across while looking for background music. I love 80s New Wave and Synth Pop. City Pop combined that with elements of jazz, funk and lots of disco elements which I really found pleasant to listen too. I don't speak Japanese either, so I found listening to music in Japanese was more relaxing as I wasn't constantly analysing lyrics as I do with songs in English.

I was hired as data center operator in japan NxC via ASIST agency. Being a contractor is a big compromise already yet underpaid. Now they even not fulfilling mine contract of after obtained the jlpt n2, i am supposed to be transferred to System engineer role as formerly i worked as cloud engineer in Malaysia, thats the reason i signed up the job. I need help in labor laws but the local office didn't being helpful at all, anyone can help me😢

Short answer: Because it's good. Long answer: Because it's goooood~

imagine you are on the supra and drifting in the middle of night with japannese city pop music

Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

28:27 bouncy bouncy :d

The thing is what's happening in Japan is what will happen to other and developing countries as well. So if they can't survive their problems how can we?

ただの日本語コメントやけどみんな英語でコメントしとるからなんか気まずいな

i don't get it. i used to live in kyoto for 5 years. the subway would always take me to where i wanted to be, which was sanjo, shijo, and gion shijo. i never noticed any inconvenience. even when i lived in shiga prefecture, i would transfer at yamashina station which gave me convenient access to the aforementioned stations.

At somepoint seems switzerlands and austrians ticket system are the most advanced in the world along with the train themself they are the most advanced in the world

Japanese workers need to grow a pair of balls and go out on strike.

City Pop 4 Ever and Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The reason Japanese companies get away with poor treatment of employees, is because the system does not allow quitting and joining a different firm. So people are pretty much captive where they first get hired.

This video started with bodies being outlined in chalk. So, which companies are most successful in actually killing their employees through overwork?

Midnight Pretenders

the "laffer curve" was so aptly named! 🤣

Watching in my 40s... And only just starting investing I feel so behind!

日本は経済を知らなかった。

Ive always loved older music, but compared to music from america from the 80s, city pop just has a special kind of magic

It's called a xeet. Twitter is dead. Worship billionaires 🌈

Japan should have North and South country

It's a culture thing. What I often see is that the older generation really dislikes talking about mistakes. We all make mistakes, it's normal, but we if we don't talk about mistakes, we never learn from mistakes. Instead they just act like everything is just fine and life goes on, with a $100'000'000 deficit.

It's the nostalgic elemt for me, honestly 🙌 also they sound super cool 🙌

It's noticable that you haven't been a lot in Kyoto, let alone lived there. You can easily access the most popular tourist spots in Kyoto such as Kawaramachi, Kiyomizudera and Kinkakuji via the combination of subway, Randen, and a bit of walking. Also, JR, Hankyu and Keihan have multiple routes through the city. Just because tourists are unable to change the lines and that the subway doesn't suit their needs, doesn't mean that Kyoto is poorly designed for us who live here.

So, Im making another comment, cause I want to talk about what I believe is probably the coolest thing about City Pop. That being, that most of the original artists of this genre in Japan in the 70s and 80s where highly influenced by American (and western in general) RnB, Jazz, Funk, etc etc. And then a generations of Americans who fell in love with it through anime and games mostly, are now being drawn towards the original influences and discovering all the old stuff from the west. Or atleast I did. Not as funny as how Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry introduced me to classical music, but still great.

Gen X was jammin this stuff all through the 90s and 2000s we just didnt have youtube. We had to go to actual brick and mortor Japanese import stores. (We had one called Anime Planet in Houston when I was a kid) Most of what they sold was sound tracks to Games and Anime but it was still mostly City Pop and we loved it. EDIT it was planet anime, my bad.

From when Japan was doing well

dont worry just blame the immigrants and tourist

Great video

It's not just Gen Z, I've been in love with 70's-90's Japanese music for a while and I'm Gen X. I don't have to know what's being said I love the vibes. I've never cared for the lyrics of even English songs anyways. I just like the way things sound and feel(bass). I listened to a bunch of rap in the 90's half the time I didn't even know what was being said.... It's not hard to get into music in other languages.

3:02 it costs that much money just to come up with an anime persona? 💀

13 hour shifts and then you have to worry about getting groped and felt up by superiors

The issues this city has can be solved so easily. I live in a city of 1 million in Europe, which primarily lives off tourism. We have an amazing public transit system: lots of brand new busses, large and long trams/lightrail. We are still quite depended on cars. But this is a good thing as we have affordable Ubers everywhere. The cycling paths are being developed each year more and more and this helps a lot. As I see it, Kyoto should just abandon the subway for now. Add bus lanes in the city, so that more busses and cabs can move quicker around the city. For the small streets, bicycle infrastructure is fundamental. Add bike parking at every bus stop. And a clear distinction between busses for tourists and locals is a great idea. Most small cities in Europe have an airport bus. Which has everything in English. It is not even expected that locals use it at all. This way locals and tourists don't cross paths and don't bother each other. My city also built a stadium. Which has been very profitable, as tourists don't only come here to see the city, but also to see a concert. It's investments like these which a tourist city needs.

Reducing the trash cans from 700 to 200 and not just simply bringing it back to 700 but does everything but that I knew it was a good video

Nothing beats Dentsu, Toyota, Rakuten or Mitsubishi. By far the worst of the worst.
