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 -- Kiyomi, Ruiko & Mieko
Kiyomi Suzuki with Rats & Star -- Lonely Chaplin (ロンリー・チャプリン）
The "Lonely Chaplin" video is neither viewable nor playable in my neck of the woods, BUT I know this song very well since it was one of my wife's favorites, well before I started to like it.

ReplyDeleteYeah, it definitely had an impact on me as a really cool song that I heard in karaoke one time.
Deletewhat’s with the AI slop on these posts lately…
