Yo, thanks for introducing this/him to us. Ever notice, how the guitar-solo from "52nd Street" around 9:00 minutes of this video is the same, that TWRP (Tupperware Remix Pary) uses and expands upon for their song "Body Image"? (At circa 1:40 min:) kzread.info/dash/bejne/eX9mw7qhd5bPoc4.html The absolute Legends.

Just finished watching your Casiopea video and now I’m watching this one. While I’m already well-versed in the world of city pop/jazz fusion I still found your videos very enjoyable, it’s great knowing there’s others out there that appreciate these old Japanese tracks as much as I do. Great work too, your video essays are extremely well made

Toshiki Kadomatsu is one of my all-time favorite artists. Absolute legend.

Toshiki Kadomatsu I think is the best Japanese City Pop/Jazz Fusion artist out there. He is definitely out there in my top artists (I mean look at my PFP lol). His style of music has definitely influenced me the best right now because, other than any other artists, his songs hit my nostalgia harder than others. Guitars, horns, synth, drums, bass, and back up singers just blend perfectly with him.

The 2017 re-release of Sea Is A Lady is truly an amazing album for driving. It hasn't left my car's CD bay since I got it!

This video means a lot for city pop fans around the world! Thank you so much.. thanks for the appreciation to the artist..

if you like Toshiki Kadomatsu and anime I highly recommend the 42 minute OVA film "Nineteen 19" which uses several of Toshiki Kadomatsu's songs including "LOVIN' You 'Sawako'" and encapsulates the bubble era and all its glory

Superb documentary! I've been doing the same thing for the last 4 years, I started listening to future Funk and vaporwave and then got into a whole genre of Japanese city pop as well as Japanese artists such as Ryuchi Sakamoto

I'm a huuge fan of Anri. Timely is INCREDIBLE. Now knowing Kadomatsu played a big part in the album, I need to check out more of his stuff.

I love the work he did on every artist he produced, but Jadoes are really underrated!

to me SEA IS A LADY is perfect album 100% no bad or boring songs

It the perfect music for my neon high rise apartment overlooking palm trees or driving my Japanese station wagon around the beaches in south Florida. I swear I seen most of the albums pictures in person here. It oddly fits and it amazing music from across the world can remind me of home.

Simply one of the best music video essays Ive ever seen. So honest, so polished and smooth. !!!

It's so weird to see Japanese City pop kind of explode in the last few years, as someone who basically got into the stuff over a decade ago (because I love 80s and 90s anime, and the soundtracks basically revolved around this sort of sound). I remember posting songs on facebook at that time, and getting ignored, but now when I share a city pop song on youtube, I get people actually commenting ... so weird. Makes me wonder if people did actually like this music, but were too embarrassed to admit it because the music wasn't popular back then ... hmmm

Another lovely music doc video I’ve been trying hard to learn more about my favorite Japanese bands and musicians. It is hard researching sometimes not knowing the language they are hidden gems. You cover them so well I’m so intrigued with your style of Videos thank you for doing your thing. I haven’t seen too much on the duo city pop band Bread and Butter. I found out about them through tatsuro yamashita’s cover of pink shadow and ever since then I’ve been obsessed with them! This never ending finding of older musicians had changed the music game for me.

Thank you so much for your kind comments on my videos! I've heard a little bit of Bread and Butter, they're pretty good! There are so many artists and band to make videos of, but it's very time consuming (+ no ad revenue due to copyright claims). I don't know when the next video will come out, but I'm very keen on making more of these! Tatsuro Yamashita would be a great video, although I'm scared it might be taken down, haha. He's very strict with copyright infringement. Thanks again and I hope you stick around for future videos!

Came here after watching your outstanding Casiopea video twice. Kadomatsu-san is the city pop G.O.A.T., IMO. His producer credits alone are staggering. Amazing artist - always dynamic, exciting, playful, sophisticated and with the highest level of musicianship. Thank you so much for what you do 🙏

Absolutely love this series you're doing

Plastic Love change my life since february 2021!

Your best video so far! I heard that the japanese island Okinawa has an almost tropical climate, so maybe you can live your dream there someday. :)

Great video, great editing, great everything ! i was waiting for someone to cover this topic and i finally stumbled up on your video. good luck with the rest of the episodes.

I'm just getting into the worlds of city pop and jazz fusion, and your videos have been an excellent education into what may be my new favorite music genres.

Toshiki Kadomatsu saved my life.

Man I wish I could post in the r/music or something. This video was so well made it really does deserve to be shown to even more people. I’ve found my love for City Pop because of you. Keep up the hard work Norway!

Can't wait for the Anri video. You have great production quality!

surprised you aren’t bigger, with high quality stuff like this!!

This is easily one of the most impressive videos I’ve ever seen

Great Video! The quality of these essays is outstanding, you truly did a great job

I really liked this video and the music in it. I am exited to see more of this series.

Great videos on a jazzy japanese surfer music. Great coverage of Takanaka lead me to your other videos. You get the vibe and speak my mind

Wow I can't believe I've been missing out on this channel for so long. Your production quality, presentation and research are incredible.

Good to have you back!

I know about these genre but the quality of this video is amazing. Love it and I hope you keep it! The casiopea video is another piece of art!

this man needs more attention ngl

far out what a rabbit hole. this is awesome thank you!

Cool! Very cool! Well done!

hey man we need more of these. please keep going!

the editing is great on this. great video, also.

cant wait to see the next episode!

i came from your masayoshi takanaka video and i just wanted to thank you for introducing me to so many new songs :D i originally thought toshiki's fly by day was a cover of anri's version of fly by day from her heaven beach album but i had no idea he helped produce it once again thank you for teaching me so many new things about all these amazing genres :D

excellent content and montage ! keep up the good work

Your channel is seriously underrated. I'm gonna share it everywhere.

I discovered this channel recently with your video about Takanaka (found All of me in recommendations and wanted to know more about the big guitar guy) and this is amazing The edition is always on point and 8:38 this transition was the smoothest.... It doesn't matter if we get 1 video per year, it's worth it!!

oohh that's why timely is so good.

Never stop making videos!

KZread algorithms threw your Casiopea video at my face. Now I'm here) Thank you for this hidden gems! Also: great video quality with all this charts, chapters and very nice animations!

You did a great job, seriously, there aren't many videos talking about the genre and even less focusing on artists.

This is great!

Just discovered your channel. Pure bliss for ears 👌 thanks

dude, these videos are so well produced! Especially liked 8:33

crazy how this has 58k views lol these videos have literally changed my music taste entirely

Discovering this genre during the COVID era video by video, note by note made me a huge fan and a collector. Toshiki was my love right from the start. My all time favorite of his is "Night sight of Port Island" especially the finale. Thank you for these great videos!

This is so legit

Great work, amazing video! "Space Scraper" from "Weekend Fly to the Sun" is one of my favorite songs.

Love seeing seeing my culture impact on spreading joy to the world. Truly awesome.

Hey, i'm a little late to your channel. But your intro to this video basically sums up how i got to know City pop as well. Going to check out your other episodes later. Cheers!

I hope you'll make more of this series! It definitely helped me to know informations about them with nice arrangements and great enthusiasm 🤩

Well done T2norway. I have been a big Casiopea fan since the first 1980 and I was only 17 year old..!! And still playing Casiopea today along with the Fusion greats. Even UK home grown talent..!! from the 70's and 80's including Phil Collins BrandX.

Nice!!

So glad I was recommended this video. I've recently gotten into City Pop and wanted to learn nore about the people behind them.

Late 2017, what a thrill listening to my new collections of artist albums I've saved to my phone. What an early two year rush of city pop songs.

Check out Dimension / Takashi Masuzaki Also anything with Akira Wada

that coming up soon in the end took almost 2 years :") but totally worth it! thank you for your videos!

I wish he was on spotify! his music is so dreamy and funky

I really thought this video just came out, not three years ago!

i discovered city pop also because of future funk, its actually my favourite genere of music and love collecting this old vinyls

Kadomatsu the Legend. My favorite of all time

I came from reddit. Worth it :)

Nice vid! Cover Piper too!

This is still one of my favorite videos to watch when I'm feelin' like I'm back in the Toshiki Kadomatsu groove. Just noticed that you may of planned Tatsuro for E3? Curious about that, I'm wondering if you scrapped that due to fears of copyright strikes? I've been seeing over the last year what's been going on on KZread with his music and that just made me wonder about that.

que hermosuras de videos mi hermano!

Incredible video and content. Thanks for sharing the good vibes! Do you know why the first albums were never reissued/remastered ? Is there any kind of issue concerning publishing rights or masters ownership?

love Piper. Summer Breeze is my favorite album from them. this genre is just great to spend your summer days, and every day is summer in Miami.

This somewhat reminds me about sonic 1 star light zone, and spring yard zone.

How this not getting like 20k veiws

Not going to lie, I jammed to Toshiki Kadomatsu's Sealine when traveling down Florida's coastline

Toshiki is a genius

Good video. Wish you would have mentioned Secret Lover

heelt sykt! digger animasjonene og konseptet!

GOD DAMN IT HE AINT ON SPOTIFY

"he also produced for city pop legend Anri, and you can really hear his touches" first 5 seconds of song go by: this is how all city pop sounds next 5 seconds: holy shit it's kadomatsu 0_0

You NEED to make a video bout T-SQUARE!

Do one for Tatsuro Yamashita! My very first introduction to these sub-genres came when For You blessed my youtube feed randomly one day

I'm sure you've already discovered them, but I think you'd really like Bread and Butter!

Do you think Hiroshima falls into this category as well? They might be a little too on the pop side of things and less fusion. Loving these videos! Great work!

i found my people

คอนเท้นน่าสนใจมากครับ

The great algorithm has blessed you! Praise the great algorithm! Mysterious are his ways!

Japan in the 80s had an INSANE culture blast coming from a rainbow godzilla shooting laser beams from it’s eyes directly into a dancing tsunami monster that refracts all around the center of Japan. It’s truly a wonderful experience.

A song list would be much appreciated from someone who knows so little about the genre!

My favorite City Pop artist, wish there were more of his early live performances on youtube, check out Yokohama Twilight Time live @ Rolling Pops if you haven't already
