The sound of Japanese City Pop on vinyl

The Japanese corollary of yacht rock? The smoothest of all the smooth music? The top shelf of every audiophile's collection? All of these things and more, City Pop is the (Western) name given to a particularly luxurious breed of Japanese music made during the vibrant and economically prosperous period of late-20th Century Japan where the studios had plenty of money, the artists had the best gear, and the diametrically opposed forces of art vs. commerce miraculously aligned like the planets in Kubrick's 2001 - A Space Odyssey. Get these while they're hot because they disappear like no other genre!
