city pop
A genre of Japanese music that was popularized in the 1980's. City pop does not have a specific definition; almost any type of Japanese pop music that has some sort of western influence can be considered city pop. It is a type of Japanese pop that has an urban feel to it which somehow makes you nostalgic about the life you lived in Japan in the 80's, even if you weren't born by that time or have never even been to Japan. A truly exquisite type of music that can change the atmosphere in seconds.
