The chorus of Take Me Far Away (Kadomatsu Toshiki) also has the exactly same progression as Remember Summer Days (Anri), which is the 2nd progression in the video! :D
I think I like the 2nd one most of all, it's so unique because of the tension and release caused by the diminished chord. By the way I love the disclaimer you posted at the beginning of the video.
Thank you very much Roger-san :) I hope you enjoy my other tutorials too! Yes that's the reason why I started to do City Pop information in English including tutorial, as I found it's difficult to find them in English.
From America (Florida), thank you so much for the video. Not just for the great chord progressions and examples but most of all for introducing me to Ringo Sheena. WOW. I'm consuming everything I find from her on TH-cam now.
Mr Batsu-san. :) Thank you so much for such nice words! Awww I’m super happy to hear that you discovered her and love her music. She’s one of the most talented artist from that generation. I’m sending love to Florida from Japan. Thank you for watching my videos too!
liked this vid just for your personality instantly. most big guitarist channels feel fake, with the way they present themselves. you seem like a genuine person
I like to think of bII-dim7 as a rootless VI-7b9. Dim7 and maj7 voicings are so handy on guitar because you can replace just about every chord in a progression with one or the other.
Absolutely yes! I hear bII-dim7 as VI7b9 especially when it resolves to IIm7. and yes the voice leadings are so smooth too! Thank you for your comment A_san :D
Hi Keato-san :) Thank you very much for such warm and nice words. You made my day!! :D Japanese is my mother tongue and I learnt English as a foreign language so it means a lot to me! Thank you for watching my videos too!
I got some Roland VSTs for Junos and Jupiters and Yamaha DX7 and looking at producing some throwback tracks like these (I got exposed to the classics through Spotify). Thanks for the tutorial!
I think most of them are based on 251, and use the super imposition, Em7 substitue for Cmaj7 to get the vibe of Cmaj9, similar to Fmaj7 played on Dm7 will bring the vibe of Dm9
Hi Công-san :) thank you for your comment! Yes exactly!! You know how chords work!! :) also thanks for watching my videos too. Have a wonderful weekend! :)
Thanks for making this information so easy to grasp, hear, and apply You're awesome for helping songwriters like us out man. I'm rooting for you success! :D
Hi Johnnathan-san :) I really appreciate your comment! :) It’s encouraging to make more videos and music! :) I believe songwriting is a beautiful thing and I’m glad that my videos help you. :) have a great week!
@@SoraSatoh and you have made mine!!!! i cannot stop watching your videos, its so informative and funny!!! so cool to see you giving city pop this awesome genre deserves ♥️ compliments of a guitarrist from the other side of the world, brazil!!! great job misa!!💖💖💖

Great comic sense & snacks to help the music theory go down. My only suggestion is to maybe remix the guitar demos - they seem rather soft and muffled compared to the spoken parts. Keep it up!
Thank you for your comment, ChinoGitano-san. :) im very glad you liked the jokes and snacks too! Thank you for your feedback!! I’ll improve it for my up coming videos! :) have a wonderful day!
@@SoraSatoh No problem man Great stuff here. I was wondering if you could make a video sharing how to train my ears better to figure out chord progression and what kinds of chord are used in Tatsuro's song? I found that his chord progression were quite complex
@@Floydandsome That's a great topic and the most important thing. I mostly listen to bass line and then figure out tension notes by listening to a song carefully. Here's a progressions Tatsuro Yamashita uses very often th-cam.com/video/Hbt7FCVHyfE/w-d-xo.html and tricky ones are this one th-cam.com/video/cdYh58hPN6I/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for your comment! I’m glad that you enjoyed the video and it helps you! Yes, I love that chord progression a lot! I never get bored with it! :)
Hey man! great video! Have you heard of "Everyone Knows That (Ulterior Motives)" AKA One of the internet's most searched for lost media songs? Most theories point to it being japanese. Perhaps ypu could help solve the mistery! Appreciate your help and insight.
Hi Nico-san :). Yes exactly! Ⅳ and ⅱ are pretty much the same and have the same function. I still love the flow of 2516 etc. :) thank you for watching my videos too. Have a great week!
@@SoraSatoh It’s a wonderful chord progression, and offers a lot of room for substitution as you showed in the video. What I’m curious about, is whether you see the progression as tonicizing the relative minor of the chosen key, as you have a minor perfect cadence to the “vi” (C: Emin-Amin). J-pop, and a lot of music from japan seems to follow this in between of the relative minor and major tonal center, which The royal road progression encapsulates that perfectly, which is why that movement from the iii-vi feels almost “dark” in tone.
And this is just on its own. Following the progression with a ii-V-I can quickly remind the viewer that we haven’t fully switched to the relative minor, and that the tonal center is the relative major of the minor.
@@Remour That's a very interesting thought! I personally feel ⅵ in 2516 or 3625 as a passing chord approaching to ⅱ, than being a tonic minor chord. But it may be just how I personally feel. I agree with what you wrote. It's true that iii-vi feels almost “dark” in tone. Interesting insight! :)
Great video thank you so much! I was hoping you would play a lot of those hits because I kept hearing that same progression from windy summer and remember summer days in many city pop songs. Still never gets old though when every artist puts their own spin on it :)
Hi Sam-san :) thank you for comment! True! A lot of people use the same/similar chord progressions more or less (not just in CityPop) but they put their own tastes! :) ok. I may make more videos about chords, as that’s the topic I love. :)
Thank you! I'm trying to write a song for my girlfriend and I want it to sound like City pop, I think that style have some sensual and lovely aura or spirit, btw Thank you so much for this theoric class! You have a good and easy way to explain it, I also like kitkat (sorry for my english xD) New suscriber!
Yesus Leyva san :) Wow! That’s lovely! I’m sure your gf will be very happy that you write a song for her! :) it’s a pleasure that my videos help you for that. Yes you’re right. CityPop has an unique vibe. :) thank you for your nice words and subscribing to my channel too!
Dear Sora, thank you very much for this video. You help us a lot with this, and always with a smile. By the way, what is the name of the music you use as background? Is yours? Where could I find it? Thanks!
I'm a little bit confused. The chord progressions you show us are in c major? Do they work in a minor key as i tried to do it but it sounded so off. Do the chord progressions only work in major? For instance i tried the just the two of use one and it worked in d major but not d minor
いいです！日本語に勉強します。 very good! i'm currently studying japanese, so if i made any mistakes then please let me know. i was wondering, how popular is "just the two of us" in japan? it seems that it uses very similar chords to quite a bit of japanese songs.
コメントありがとう😊嬉しいです。 Thank you for your comment! I appreciate your nice words! The progression is very popular and known as Marunouchi progression (Ringo Sheena song)! Probably that song is much more popular in Japan than Just The Two Of Us.

Man I don't know about these chord progressions but I know I'm hungry as f*ck... Great vid!
haha thanks for your cool comment! I love it! Have a wonderful weekend! :D
based, I like 5th progression the most, gives very chill vibes
You can have a chromatic movement like Ⅵm7 - bⅥm7 -Ⅴm7 in the 5th progression, if you want a smoother version! :D It's such a great progression!
You’re a legend bro thanks for sharing this
Thank you so much for such a cool comment! I appreciate it.:)

Hi Neo :) Yes Kitkat is definitely the greatest one :D
Lord give me one more chance to write great city pop. Thanks Masa!
Gray-san :) haha I love the song so much.
Lord would give you a plenty of chances to write great city pop, because we need it :) Thank you Gary-san!
This man has never had a Kit-Kat without the wafer inside. Those are absolutely disappointing.
AMAZING VIDEO, THOUGH. I LOVE IT. I BOW.
ちなみに角松敏生さんの「Take Me Far Away」のサビも動画内２つ目の進行のRemember Summer Days (杏里さん)のサビと全く同じコード進行です。

@@SoraSatoh many other pops and jazz! maybe songs from billboard chart or iconic pop songs with modal interchange chords will be fun. =)
I'm a little bit confused. The chord progressions you show us are in c major? Do they work in a minor key as i tried to do it but it sounded so off. Do the chord progressions only work in major? For instance i tried the just the two of use one and it worked in d major but not d minor
You need to use relative minor key. In the case of C Major, you need to use A minor. www.simplifyingtheory.com/relative-minor-scale-major-chords/
いいです！日本語に勉強します。
very good! i'm currently studying japanese, so if i made any mistakes then please let me know.
i was wondering, how popular is "just the two of us" in japan? it seems that it uses very similar chords to quite a bit of japanese songs.
コメントありがとう😊嬉しいです。
Thank you for your comment! I appreciate your nice words! The progression is very popular and known as Marunouchi progression (Ringo Sheena song)! Probably that song is much more popular in Japan than Just The Two Of Us.
Just The Two Of Us is not very well known in Japan. People don’t know the song unless they’re musicians.
