An interesting mix of the 80s vets (Kyon-kyon, Hikaru Genji) with some of the 90s newbies (Jitterin' Jinn, Dreams Come True). I do have Miyazawa's "NO TITLIST"(no giggling at the title, please); I've listened to it....once.
I've been a fan of Japanese popular music for 40 years, and have managed to collect a lot of material during that time. So I decided I wanted to talk about Showa Era music with like-minded fans. My particular era is the 70s and 80s (thus the "kayo kyoku"). The plus part includes a number of songs and artists from the last 30 years and also the early kayo. So, let's talk about New Music, aidoru, City Pop and enka.
