I am going to do the 40 Years later, Japanese City Pop is Still Crashing the Charts

 

I am learning Japanese's so when I saw this I had to click it. They are becoming popular because it was during the boom era. Also on Tic Tock where the anime lovers did videos to it so more people got introduced to it. Which makes so much sense Tic Tock had become popular in good and bad ways, but I think that it is cool that is how it became popular. Also young Japanese Americans showed their parents the song and their eyes would light up in knowing the song. They would sing along and the kids would record it and that is how it got popular. They had city pop that people recommended. City Pop was from a lot of different American genres of music. They were getting very successful and it factor into the songs. The lyrics are about love that you can not get but you are still trying to reach for. It has this city feeling which is why it is called city pop. It borrows stuff from the popular times of the Americans and what people liked over here. She says that if you like Carel Ray Jepsen, this music will be very familiar to you. (Sloan, 2021). With the 80s stuff you will know this too. It was during the Japanese boom during the 70 and 80s. He said which is interesting is that it sound expensive like it has all been done in the studio the instruments and stuff. Which is kind of cool that music can sound like that. You learn something new each day. Most of the people in Japan do not know City pop. She said that it did not feel right after one of the singers came out with her song for the time. So it sort of faded, then it got popular with the western so then it started to come back. I think it is really cool that it came back. It is something I would listen to.
