It’s hard to believe, however, that a lot of these songs and artists are not as appreciated in their home country as they are overseas. Through the power of the internet, audiences from overseas have fallen in love with songs such as Plastic Love by Mariya Takeuchi, Ride On Time by Tatsuro Yamashita, and 4: AM by Taeko Ohnuki. That especially holds true when talking about Japanese City Pop, a genre of music that while seen as disposable yuppie music of the 1980s by those who live in Japan, is considered a hidden treasure trove by foreign audiences. I’m a firm believer that good music is something that transcends the boundaries of both time and culture.
