I found my genre
Can you react to "VALSHE - BUTTERFLY CORE"? She has a unique beautiful voice. Oh by the way, Valshe looks like a boy, but she is a woman. 😍🔥💕
Fragile by Tatsuro yamashita is one of the best city pop songs
React to Chinatown and Dress Down too also goated city pop songs
WWWWWWWW
morning glory by Tatsuro Yamashita is good, remember summer days by Anri is great too.
How is it possible to feel nostalgic about a song from a time you never lived? Such a vibe of a song, and something people post every Friday as well.
I did live through that time. Not a perfect era, but it had good stuff in it... music included.
You could be like an old soul living in a young body feeling the connection to a life you wish you lived in a time that has past, you can feel the same when an excellent scene of what a past generation lived through and you feel oohh this is what I want ! Also, there is some music that just imbodies a time, it becomes timeless.
A lot of people said that 80s Japanese city pop makes them feel nostalgic/reminds them of the memories that never existed but don't know why. Honestly I don't believe that's because it got some kind of magic or anything like that, but rather you most likely have really heard it or at least the sounds like it somewhere before, such as from Dragon Balls, Doraemon, Sailor Moon, Ranma 1/2, Yatsure Urusei, Kimagure Orange Road, Maison Ikokku, Regular Show, GTA Vice City, Nintendo games, movies, commercials,... or from the same type of music that your dad usually listens to.
So yeah, mystery solved I guess!
For more nostalgic songs that bring you to the time you 'thought' you once lived through, you may wanna try out :
Queen - Radio Ga Ga
a-ha - Take On Me
Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me
U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name
Jason Donovan - Sealed In A Kiss
Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine
Bruce Springteen - Born in the USA
DaftPunk - Give Life Back To The Music
Alliance - At Dawn (Russian)
In portuguese they use the word "Saudade" to reflect profound nostalgy for something that you love but isn't there anymore. The feeling can extend even to things you didn't knew existed, or wich you can imagine but are not real. The feeling of deeply missing something that never existed.
In my opinion, bossanova and citypop are just this feeling, made real for the duration of a song.
Stay whith me is my personal favorite, so smooth, so chill, the instruments and her voice, so beautiful.
I found that song through memes and stuff! Awesome stuff!
mine too.
Trust me nick..theres a vast of hidden treasure songs outside the anime world music out there in japan. Most definitely 80s and 90s.
Need him to listen to Casiopea and Toe. Japanese music is amazing
J-pops are goated
The rock and metal scene is still amazing in Japan even to right now.
he has to listen to malice mizer and buck-tick fr
Pls recomend here
I am Japanese. There were many talented people like her in Japan from the 70's to the 80's. She's just the tip of the iceberg. This is because singing ability was more important than the current emphasis on musicality, such as in ado and yoasobi. Nick, if you dig deeper into the music of that time, you'll be more surprised.😊
Certainly many fine singers from that era. My personal favorite is Keiko Fuji. But there are some very good singers currently working in Japan. My current favorite is Saiki Atsumi of Band Maid.
My favourite city pop bands/artists are : 1986 Omega Tribe, S. Kiyotaka & Omega Tribe, Junko Ohashi, Tomoko Aran, Momoko Kikuchi, Tatako Mamiya, Toshiki Kadomatsu, Saint Four,...
I miss the times when musician ment a person sang, played multiple instruments and often had roots in jazz and classic.
@@piotrjeske4599There are still many multi-talented musicians. Just a lack of opportunities to display their talents. As an example, Gunhild Carling, sings and dances and plays about 6 instruments. She was featured on a couple of Postmodern Jukebox vids , and has her own youtube page. Or my favorite rock band, Band Maid. All five members can sing and play instruments The lead guitarist, bassists, and drummer are multi-instrumentalists, all having started with piano at an early age.
@piotrjeske4599 if you think what you have found is not enough, look up KEXP, there you can A LOT of music bands that can actually play instruments and sing live on the spot. I highly suggest you to watch Viet Cong live performance in 2015, that one is sick!
Fun fact: the latter two songs are made by the King and Queen of Citypop, Tatsuro Yamashita & Mariya Takeuchi. They are actually married
I don't like Yamashita tbh
@@blackman5867I love Yamashita!😢
@@blackman5867why not 🤔
@@Kazumatempesthe dosent release most of his songs on streaming services 😤😔
@@nato_potato3505 He doesn't like streaming servies because the platforms profit from the songs despite not creating the song so he takes down songs on spotift and youtube so you have to buy his albums. His music slaps tho
Did you all notice? Him pronouncing the Japanese names is now far better than 2 years ago. Comparing it to other english speaking reactor, he tried and learned a lot and hard. 😄
I actually gasped reading the title, I fucking LOOOOVE City Pop with a passion. I'm an 18 year old white American, but this is my favourite genre no fucking doubt.
Tomoko Aran, Kaoru Akimoto, Cindy, Anri, Yurie Kokubu, Junko Yagami, Reiko Takahashi, just to name a few. All incredible artists.
I take any moment I can to geek out about this, everyone needs to hear City Pop, it's just incredible.
WHAT ABOUT OMEGA TRIBE!!!??!??!?!????????!!😡😡😡😡😡🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I agree
Rest in Peace Miki Matsubara, you will always be a legend.
Yamashita Tatsuro is a musical genius. More people need to listen to his music. My favorite from him is a song called Dancer. Listen to it when you are high, its raining outside, past midnight, and you are alone. Yep. I need to set up my settings when listen to good music.
I love the Spacey album❤
Funky Flushin' might be my favorite, but Ride on Time is a classic
Misty Mauve, Music Book, Magic Ways are the Top 3M IMO. Love Space and Ride on Time are super cool.
I like Ride on Time and Sparkle
this song is sick as hell just like the culture of japan is the best
It's a pity that you didn't watch the live version
Her smile can melt every one of us
Plastic love has a special place in my heart as the first city pop song I ever heard. Stay with Me and Flyday Chinatown came second and third respectively.
You got some bangers here. Try:
Love Space - Tatsuro Yamashita
I Can't Stop the Lonliness - ANRI
Flyday Chinatown - Yasuha
Fantasy - Meiko Nakahara
Anri - Last Summer Whisper
Woman (W no Higeki Yori) - Hiroko Yakushimaru
Dance In The Memories - Meiko Nakahar SUPER Riser! - nanidato
Love space FTW, it's what got me into city pop about 8 years ago
Tatsuro Yamashita is one of the GOAT song writers of the 80's. I would recommend listening to him over any other. He has way too many bangers to list, but I would check out "Sparkle" or "Ride on Time". Unfortunately his music isn't on streaming so it's hard to recommend him to people that only use Spotify, etc, but it is well worth it to track his stuff down. Tatsuro Co-Wrote and arranged "Plastic love" in collaboration with his wife Mariya. There is a recording of "Plastic Love" from 2000 of Tatsuro singing background vocals and playing guitar. He goes so ham at the end it's awesome.
OMG Ride on Time is one of my personal favourites! Dang I gotta check out his other works too
I suggest - Cupid - from Miki Matsubara, and a triplet of Anri songs, I CAN'T STOP THE LONELINESS, SHYNESS BOY and Remember Summer Days, you will LOVE them
Timely!! is such a good album
Please listen to Tatsuro Yamashita's ``Christmas Eve'' singing Magic Ways.
This song is a famous Christmas song that every Japanese person knows.
City pop is the 90s version of Lofi. There are so many amazing songs to just vibe to for any situation, hope you react to more
80s
Can't believe he's reacting to "Stay with me " 😄❤️
I'm so happy you've found these pieces! My reaction to Stay With Me is literally identical to yours... I fell in love with it first listen. I can't wait to see your reactions to others like I Can't Stop the Loneliness by Anri or Tasogare no Bay City by Junko Yagami.
I'm so glad you reacted to these absolute gems, Nick!!❤❤
Dude, I'm so happy you've discovered city pop. It's been my go to genre for the past several years. There is also a subgenre of vaporwave called future funk and they're modern dance mixes of city pop and even American songs from the 70s and 80s. Keep enjoying good music bro
퓨처펑크는 신세계 🤗
Stay with me is one of my all time favorite songs. Can’t believe you’re reacting to this 🥺 merry Christmas! 💖
6:17 Funny you said this, because a vtuber called Marine whose music you've reacted to (the sexy treasure box song) just recently released an original city pop song with Gura, who is also a vtuber that you've reacted to before. The song is called 'Shinkiro'
just got home, and on the way back home, I was listening to these songs and sing along, then I saw this video, dude, you have no idea how hype I am right now.
Love me some city pop, some other classics by Tatsuro Yamashita to check out are Ride On Time, Music Book, and Loveland Island. His content isn't so copyright friendly, so if you're inclined to check out his music on your own I'd definitely recommend listening to his albums For You, Ride On Time, and Big Wave. Much love to the channel and always excited to see your newest content!
Morning Glory is another personal favorite of mine from his catalog, definitely check it out!
Plastic Love is my favorite city pop song with awesome nostalgic vibe
Thank you nick for introducing me to this genre i love this songs
japanese 80s songs are literally hidden gems
The singer of "Stay with me" had a pretty sa life. In the end, she really regretted her career cos it prevented her from living the life that she wanted.
Also, tiktok has fuck all to do with ruining the song. At this point, mfs will blame tiktok as the reason for their parents dying.
And the sad thing is, half the time their right, case and point, blackout
Honestly you gotta give tiktok some credit for popularizing some songs that would've normally flew under the radar.
@@ryank6160man if you find this genre through Tiktok that’s sad idc
@@ryank6160 but hasn't a lot of city pop been in the meme/cultural zeitgeist since before tiktok. I remember plastic love and stay with me becoming popular in the communities I was in back in like 2016-17
@@ryank6160
CityPop was already gaining awareness outside of TikTok. I never use TikTok but came across this in like 2014 or 2017 on just CZcams.
The internet being the internet, there's just a lot of overlap. What gains traction on TikTok likely came from its growth elsewhere first.
80.90年代は素晴らしいです。
楽器のみで構成されていてかならずノスタルジーな気持ちになります。
「めぞん一刻」「坂本龍一」など素晴らしい作品や曲があるのでぜひチェックしてみてください。❤
I would like you to listen to a punk band called THE BLUE HEARTS. Although they were not able to appear on Japanese TV very often due to their radical lyrics, they had a great influence on Japanese youth at the time. Although they had already disbanded when I was born, I collected and listened to many records growing up. I feel that this artist still resonates with many people in this day and age.
Laughed so hard on your reactions lol. But I appreciate you enjoying this music, means a lot to me since I'm a Japanese American. Keep on posting these sorts of videos!
This music is strangely nostalgic because it heavily influenced anime and video game music during the 90's. Once you understand that and go back to those shows/games, you'll hear it in everything.
Please listen to to Tatsuro Yamashita next! Songs like Sparkle, Ride on Time, etc. are city pop bangers!
懐かしいのに今となっては新鮮✨東京でこの曲を聴きながらドライブしたら最高だよ♪
I love seeing you enjoy what you're doing!!
stay with me is a just a song u blast in your car at night and vibe to it
Another BIG City Pop rec: "DOWNTOWN BOY" by Yumi Matsutoya. That chorus just slaps me in the face, call them mommy, and forces me to sing along EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
You are funking phenomenal bro!! Variety of good shit on your channel and I'm loving it!
Toshiki Kadomatsu is another GOAT of City Pop that you'd love. I Can Give You My Love is one of his hits that I think would make for a fun reaction, it legit has this Earth Wind & Fire vibe to it.
FINALLY, IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!
Great to see you finally discovering city pop, if you want to listen to some more, I would recommend listening to tatsuro yamashita (guy who made magic ways), some of my favorites are fragile, ride on time, Loveland island, and merry-go-round
Best genre for driving at night
Thanks to your last City Pop video I've discovered a ton of songs. I'm super hooked on Misty Mauve by Masayuki Suzuki now!
HES SO CLOSE TO 1 MILLION LETS GET HIM THERE EVERYONE
Hell yeah. Two of the three city pop songs I frequent the most!
OMG ! I was looking for that reaction ! Stay with meee
YES YES YES i did not expect this upload but the Entertainment is always there
So glad Nick found Jpop, there are some BANGERS that I can't wait for him to react to
Miki Matsubara is one of my fav japanese singers. Her songs are immaculate. "Wash" is my fav song.
i listened to stay with me so many times it's just so good
I CANNOT DESCRIBE IN WORDS HOW MUCH I LOVE CICY POP LETS GOOOOO
I just love the Baseline on Plastic Love so much! It just makes me feel like going for a stroll downtown in the lights. A really funky, happy stroll.
ever since I listened to plastic love around 5 years ago, city pop has been always my top genre on spotify and youtube lol
And I want to recommend
Anri - I can't stop the loneliness
Tatsuro Yamashita - Ride on time
Meiko Nakahara - Fantasy
this genre is a warm hug, sunsets, and summer, i very much love this kind of music
Ride on Time, 4:00 am, Telephone number and Midnight Pretenders are other great CityPop songs from Japan
I love when you react to new music!! Everyone should be always at least a bit happy and hyped to find a new cool song. This? Perfect!! Get up and daaaaance!! 💃
Tatsuro Yamashita - Love Space is another good song to listen to
Once you start this music genre, you won't get enough of it, I discovered it through TWICE (k-pop girl group) in 2020, it was featured on one of their songs called 'SAY SOMETHING'. Miki and Mariya was also my first artists to listen to.
I recommend you to listen to the album of Anri 'TIMELY!!', or Tomoko Aran 'Midnight Pretenders' which you can probably guess it was sampled by The Weeknd 'Out of Time' song. 💖
City Pop is one of my favourite genres. Its the perfect music to drive around to at night
perfection ❤
City Pop is my favorite genre(?) of music PERIOD. Since the moment I found it,I knew it`s what I`ve been craving forever.
ダーティペアというアニメの劇場版、オープニング、エンディングが松原みきさんで、とても素晴らしいです。 凄く良いですよ。
Harumi Kamo's "Super Love Lotion'', which sang the ending theme for the anime "Tokimeki Tonight'', is also very nice.
It was announced in 1982.
I don't know the details, but it seems like city pop.
It's even more cute and sexy when you watch it with the ending animation.
You gotta listen to Fantasy by Meiko Nakahara and Bay City by Junko Yagami
Great edge, thank you Nick.
I think 80's American Music was cool also. With its techno synthwave
I literally searched for these songs yesterday and now you make a vídeo about it.
I WAS LITERALLY LISTENING TO STAY WITH ME EARLIER AND THOUGHT “NICK SHOULD LISTEN TO THIS SONG”. I got magical foresight fr
The fact about plastic love recommendations is soo true. I remember a time when this random video with a beautiful lady's image as thumbnail titled plastic love will just be there in my recommendation. I was scared of it so I ignored it... For a LONG LONG time. Then I fell for curiosity one day. Haven't looked back since. Only regret the time I ignored it
Some other bangers in the same genre:
*Windy Summer- Anri
*Ride On Time- Tatsuro Yamishita
*Telephone Number- Junko Ohashi
Anything off of Anri's album “Timely” is a timeless classic in the J-Pop
Bruh, homie just found my music taste lmao I freaking love all of these artists! Highly recommend Shizuka Kudo, Wink, Kaoru Akimoto, Seiko Matsuda, Junko Yagami, Taeko Onuki, S. Kiyotaka & Omega Tribe and Tomoko Aran for some more bops lol
Citypop, such a lovely genre of music ❤
You gotta hear 4:00 AM, Midnight Pretenders, and I Can’t Stop the Loneliness, all of them are absolute bangers
yo yo yo, you should do mussolini: tokyo fantasy.
Yes that mussolinis.... grandauther. was a J-pop idol in the 80s, her songs are bangers
Thank you for this lovely reaction. Some recommended city pop: ANRI - Remember Summer Days, Naoko Gushima - Candy, Natsu no Klaxon - Junichi Inagaki. 😊😊😊😊
Broo you neeed a Part 2 for this. So many good sht
(i discovered City Pop thanks to VTubers owo Thanks Gura)
Ride On Time, Fragile, Recipe, SHTSS GOOOODDD
Japanese city pop is international treasure
Make sure to check out sky restaurant from hi fi set !
The Weeknd's Out of Time use a japanese city pop Midnight Pretenders as its intro
If you feel this genre is very you (Rick Astley's vibes), you need to listen to Kubota Toshinobu 🌃
You should listen to Anri. She’s my favorite city pop artist. Cats eye, shyness boy, and all her songs are bangers
Esa canción se la envié a mí mamá. Le gustó bastante 😂
Plastic Love! i love it, japanese idol group Juice=Juice released a cover and i love it too
The other thing about City Pop is it always makes for a perfect long drive soundtrack. Like impossible for road rage to happen if everyone listening to this in their car.
Hey Nick, you should check out "Mass of fermenting dregs" they are a Japanese music group trio with some absolute bangers.
I have found this song in mix of anime intros posted by some Japanese. And there are plenty of them.
There's also Fantasy and Flyday Chinatown
Someone show this guy 'Ride On Time'
OMG listening to japanese city pop with Magic Ways?! That's a W 🔥🔥
You gotta listen to Anri. Her stuff is as fun and energetic as City Pop gets. I would recommend starting with her album TIMELY!! and going from there. Specifically, Driving My Love and Windy Summer should be enough to get you started
CITY POP MENTIONED 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥
Akina Nakamori - Slow Motion
Taeko Onuki - 4:00A.M.
Anri - SHYNESS BOY
Hiroko Yakushimaru - Sailor Fuku to Kikanjuu
Junko Ohashi - Sweet Love
You're welcome.
welcome to the city pop world🇯🇵
I love all night radio it’s got that city pop feel and it’s by ado
"im playing this shit at my wedding" the song is about a divorce lol
Love these genres, thank you for the reaction.
As much as I love the original version of Plastic Love, you gotta check out the cover done by Friday Night Plans. They kept it true to the original but there is a whole different vibe to it. Great Reaction! I have been listening to City Pop for years, and I love that more people are getting into it. You just scratched the surface! But great place to start!
You should listen to rainych cover of stay with me. And Friday night plans cover of plastic love. Don't worry they are Japanese covers and they're great imo.
Takes me back like 8 years ago when I was on sound cloud and I randomly came across love space by tatsuro yamashita. I instantly fell in love with it. Then I went on CZcams to find more similar songs and boy, was I ever glad I did. Some of my favourite songs are from the genre city pop and stay with me is up there in my top 10 ever. Rip Miki matsubara
