J-Digs: City Pop

Japan, 21.11.24

The City Pop phenomenon was more than a music genre—it was the soundtrack to Tokyo's economic boom and neon nights of the late '70s and '80s. Artists like Hitomi Tohyama, Yoko Maeno, and Mizuki Koyama captured the pulse of a fast-moving, cosmopolitan city with dopamine fueled pop melodies, and smooth jazz undertones.

Immerse yourself in the sophisticated sounds of city pop with a mix by archival label J-DIGS and NTS.
