This is a really cool compilation of some great tracks that aren't typically the focus on vinyl collectors. As the title says, it is CD-era pop from Japan. It isn't the throwback of City Pop, but also not ultra modern; this is a unique compilation. It is 2 LP's from Music from Memory that open up your horizons.
It was compiled by Norio Sato of Rare Groove and Eiji Taniguchi of Revelation Time; two must visit shops in Osaka, Japan. (We've been to both stores, they're great and Norio and Eiji are friendly guys too.) Accordingly, this was an insta-buy when it was announced. Now we're VERY happy to stock it and share it with you.
