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.

Just for Fun...The J-C AI Gallery -- Yuzo, Seiko & Mariko
“Aoi Sangoshou” is currently on the South Korean charts because one of the members of the K-Pop girl group NewJeans, Hanni, did a cover of it while they were promoting in Japan and it went viral. Pretty cool stuff.
Thanks for letting us know. I saw the YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFadCgc9Be4 Always nice to see the new generation tackling the old-school. :)
