Various Artists - WAMONO A to Z Vol. III - Japanese Light Mellow Funk, Disco & Boogie 1978-1988 (Selected by DJ Yoshizawa Dynamite & Chintam) (Pre-Order)

The third installment in the popular Wamono series.  In this one, our tour guides DJ Yoshizawa Dynamite and Chintam take us to the go-go bubble years of 1978-1988.  This of course is the City Pop era, so this clearly has something for City Pop fans. 

But as always, the Wamono compilations don't lock you into one genre.  The songs have a through line, but never feel repetitive.  Perhaps our favorites are the two Hitomi Tohyama tracks, but that's because Hitomi Tohyama is a favorite of ours to begin with. 

<In case you're wondering why this is $1 than Volume II, it is because we got charged $1 more.>

• Tetsuo Sakurai - Kimono
