flyday chinatown brings back nostalgia of a time I wasn't even alive.

I don't know Japanese but these are a fucking bop

It doesn’t matter what language it is.. 80s songs are all so cool and nostalgic

As a British kid born in 2004, this really reminds me of strutting down the streets of Shunjuku in 1982 with my highschool sweetheart Sakura Momoka. We went to the city for a date and had the best udon of our lives.

oh you know it's gonna be good if the first thing you hear is flyday chinatown

STAY WITH MEEEEEEEEE🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾

As a German 20 year old who‘s never left Europe before I just love to think about the good ol‘ days in 80‘s Japan. All the memories just come back to life with these songs.

Japan has this strange ability to make almost everyone feel attracted to it somehow. Simply beautiful!

I don't care what anyone says. Music in the 80's was just *chef's kiss* no matter what language it was in. It's just superior.

Me, a 16 year old European listening to this for the first time: Ah yes I remember these!

As a Canadian-Italian teenager, I truly remember my days in Japan when I was non-existent. The distinct smell of the sea, the bright city lights, biking with my friends, downtown, street fashion, busy streets, crowds, and the best of them all, this music. Jokes apart, this music makes me nostalgic for something I never had 😅

Music can make you patriotic for a nation that isn’t yours, and nostalgic for a time and place you’ve never been!

*Ah yes, remembering my non-existing old days in japan*

my cat started going crazy after the first song even ended ... maybe in her life before she lived in japan in the 80s 😩

No matter how old are you, what race you are, and what lifestyle you have, 80s Japanese Pop will always be one of the greatest music genre and you cannot deny that.

こんなにも海外の方々に好かれるとは、素直に嬉しいです☺️

OHH YESS my fake memories of me in japan 80’s driving a toyota with my partner listening to this music on the radio are kicking me now

who else simultaneously didn't know this was a genre and now has a new favorite genre?

As a 20-year-old Russian girl, I remember walking in Shinjuku Gyoen with my friends after classes. And in the evenings this music was played. Thank you for giving me warm memories of experiences that I never had.

As a non Japanese’s person born in the 2000s I too recall walking down the streets of Nagoya back in 80s how nostalgic 😢🎉

Different people, different races, different cultures, incomprehensible language for most, united by nostalgia

I am Japanese. I didn't know why 80s City Pop playlists were recommended now, but when I heard them for the first time in a while, I found out that they were wonderful and loved by people from many countries.

As a 19-year old russian, I remember how I spent time in Tokyo with my university friends after classes and these songs were playing

The arrangement and jazz fusion of 80s city pop is unmatched!

me, who does not listen to japanese pop at all: it's rainbeary i guess i have to click now edit: guys it's been 3 years but i still stand by this

This hits different when you're not from japan and are a 2000's kid😊

The reason you all feel so nostalgic is for the fact that this music was made before the cold and stiffness of social media took residence in our hearts . It's a collective feeling of nostalgia , something that got lost to the past , and will never come back

Ah city pop of 80s Japan❤ getting flashbacks from that life of mine those evenings,rainy nights,city lights, drenched streets and music Being nostalgic

Pov: You're in your room listening to citypop while playing tetris on your gameboy and your parents are fighting in the kitchen.

2000's children who have never been to japan: ahh, yes. This truly brings back memories from when I was in japan and I would drive around listening to these songs in the 80's at midnight while the city lights twinkled in the distance! This is so nostalgic.

Flyday Chinatown reminds me of a childhood I've never had. Always feels like Sailormoon, warm summer nights of pastel color sky. Big city full of people going just walking like in Vacation, full of lights, like a city that doesn't sleeps. Truly curious and yet so warm feel.

Truly nothing like the creativity of 80's in the whole world, but especially Japan. Booming economy, bold manga and anime, because everyone was willing to take risks as you could easily bounce back. I am crying for a time I wasn't even born in.

Im listening to this while playing animal crossing while it’s raining and my cat next to me making bread this is a very big vibe

I'm Japanese, but I'm glad that japanese city pop is heard by everyone overseas! I'm 35 years old, but of course I like city pop too!＼(^o^)／

I'm setting myself a challenge for the remainder of '23 and next year. I'm downloading this whole playlist and listen to it during my commute, learn the lyric of every song until I can fully sing it.

These songs have a weird nostalgia feeling

Depression has just left the chat

man do i remember listening to this driving around. me and my buddies would drive around, 30 years ago in high school in japan. i turned 15 this month and still going strong

Como latina, no puede expresar la enorme nostalgia que me trae escuchar estas hermosas canciones, mientras caminaba por las calles de tokyo con las luces iluminando mi camino.

Time flies so fast, its almost 3 years ago since I first listened to this wonderful playlist, Im cryyiinnggg 😭🙌🏻

"Ah yes, I remember these songs." Said a 2000s Caribbean child who's never been to Japan. Nevertheless, they're really nostalgic for some reason lol

If you weren’t born in the 80’s, you don’t miss the 80’s. *You take the 80’s with you.*

It's amazing how just by listening to music you can find yourself in an era when you were not yet born, and a country you have never been to.

When I'm going for a long hour drive out of town, I played this and let me tell you......the driving experience was totally different. I feel like driving towards the 80s sunset scene. It's sooooo good, it gave me the unexplained melancholy and nostalgic feels

I remember 30 years ago i used to drive around with this fancy music loud in the cities at midnight watching the city lights in japan. Im 16 now and i still cherish those memories. This song is so nostalgic.

Fun fact that nobody asked for but I’m gonna share anyway: Whenever I need to study or focus on my school work, I turn on Japanese city pop and since I don’t understand the lyrics I can focus on my work but also listen to the beautiful singing by the artists. I’m so glad and honestly grateful that I discovered Japanese city pop last summer because it has helped me a lot.

Although ive never been to Japan, or live in 80's in japan, but i really really love 80's pop city music 😂😂😂 Heard these songs make me feel better , thanks for compiling this song

I love how people are still discovering this music 😊

no one can change my mind, the 80's had the best music

As a Japanese person these songs always remind me of my childhood in the 80s even though I was born in 2001.

This is hands down the best one yet. It's so calming and just let's your inagination bring you to the place we all love most ❤❤❤

apos anos jogando video game e vendo animes o estilo de composiçao japones ja esta bem consolidado na minha mente,japones tem uma escolha tão peculiar de harmonias eu particularmente gosto muito,essa playlist é fantastica

Yes as a 18 year old South African, I am flustered with the overwhelming nostalgic feelings. I used to listen to these songs 45 years ago walking home in the streets of Osaka, back to my loving wife and child.

I’m young, but when I grow up, I’m gonna put my ear buds in and listen to these songs while walking along the streets when I go to Japan.

Those days when I was safely rocking in the back seat of a car on the motorway... I'm a 20-year-old Japanese, but city pop will always take me back to my childhood, not the 80s. I will continue to listen to the songs that were playing in the car back then. Along with the memories of how they used to take me everywhere, unconditionally.♥️

Thank you for creating this playlist. It cheers me up, after a long day at work.

As a 16 year old russian, I can attest that this brings back memories of walking down the streets of Niigata 35 years ago with my soon-to-be wife. Ahh the time flies...

As somebody born in 1546 in the Holy Roman Empire, this really reminds me of my days in 80s japan

Your play list is awsome! Loved it!

This is incredible thank you so much for this playlist ❤❤❤ as a western I’ve always loved 90s japanese hiphop but it appears I’ve been sorely lacking when it comes to what was “mainstream” at the time. from this mix, it’s obviously awesome

If you go to Japan, leave the hotel at 3 AM and take a walk with this on. You won't forget it. I had a smiliar playlist to this on my Spotify on my trip in 2019 and I felt like I was floating.

ANNDDDD.. Stay With Me wins the "activating my old memories, along with old shows, and almost making me cry for no reason" award

This is definitely one of my new favorite genres! Can't believe how I hadn't heard of it before, it's so good and nostalgic!

As an 11 year old finnish girl i got so much nostalgia from these songs i remembered hearing over 40 years ago in Tokyo with my 2 brothers I apologize for the bad English, but please do not correct me for i have no respect for this language whatsoever 🙃

tbh japanese city pop gives me vibe and also memory that i haven't experience yet but it feels like I've been there... ugh, yall getting what i mean right?

I probably will never understand what they say but I probably will always love this genre of music.

discovering that this strange nostalgic sense of a time and place I've never lived in is NOT a personal feeling, but a collective one, it's magical. I don't know what's going on, but I'm enjoying it.

Llevo escuchado esta playlist cerca de 2 años y la amooooo es increíble como te transporta a tiempos que nunca viviste ✨💖

_Pov: You are a teenager in Japan who left your job and the night is still young._ _Together with your friends they go to a small pub where they have a drink and dance for a while, talking nonsense and laughing at it while they dance non-stop._ _At a certain point you see someone, that someone with whom you are going to dance and spend the rest of the night._ _And so began they beautiful beautiful story full of love and good music._

No joke, this music feels like it brings me back in time better than American music does, it's like the bright neon lights and schnazzy city vibes just fly into your spirit.

私はロシア人で、13歳です。日本文化と彼らの歌、本当にすべてが大好きです。私は本当にそこに引っ越したいです、それがうまくいくことを願っています、これが私の夢です。でもその前に、7年くらいかけて仕事を見つけて、チケット代を稼がないといけないし、もちろんまずは少なくとも英語を知っておく必要があります。 (≧∀≦)

it hits you right in the kokoro 😩

I remember listening to these kinds of songs about 45 years ago, when I was at the bar with my friends. I'm 14 and still hold onto those memories

Depresion : Existe Japon : C A G A S T E

It's been a year since I've revisited this playlist, and it's exactly why I got into JCPOP in the first place. TYSMMM

melting with the vibe

I don't even listen to Jpop. What am I doing here? Well, I suppose it is beneficial to expand one's horizons. 😏😌

As a fetus, I cannot express the joy this brings me as my days in Tokyo with my best friends

omg where have I been!! loooove this playlist ❤

My Love is such a bop! Instantly became one of my favorite city pop songs 🙌🏼

I grew up with my grandpa playing 80's anime, so i grew up listening to the 80's anime openings, so this is really familiar and pleasant to hear

Ah yes, I, a Mexican American girl of 17, remember my times in Japan 30 years ago. Great times I had cruising in the city with my then to-be husband. How I wish I could go back

I can't out the rhythm and all the retro vibe from my head ... It's melting in my head all day long

Walking in the streets of Tokyo at night while listening to this songs was a surreal experience I had last year in my 5th trip to Japan. Thank God for these songs

Lets take a moment for those poor ppl who haven't found this masterpiece yet

Perfect for putting on in the background when taking notes!

Love it ! ありがとう

ESSA PLAYLIST É SIMPLESMENTE LENDÁRIA!

*_"80's is the Golden Era of Music"_* Music is timeless but that decade is the Best.

The first song rlly make me move my body, such a vibe even tho i didn't know the meaning of these song🤣

cheguei aqui de paraquedas, MDS que playlist maravilhosa!

こんな不景気の時代じゃなくて、80年代のバブル時代に生まれたかったなあ

Let's be honest, here. *We all knew Stay With Me - Miki Matsubara was going to be on here.*

I am a 21-year-old Japanese. I only know Japan in recession. I'm not particularly troubled by poverty, but I have a strong admiration for Japan in the 1970s and 1980s. It's said that remembering Japan's 70's and 80's, which you shouldn't know, is called anemoia, but that is the same feeling for Japanese people. Just as people from overseas yearn for this era in Japan, I, who is a Japanese who doesn't know that era, also longs for it. I hope that you will continue to meet good quality City Pop and have a richer life. I'm sorry if it's unnatural English. P.S. (2/9/2022) Thank you for all the warm comments. I missed the timing, so I won't reply to each one, but I've read everything.

love this vibe

I’m not Japanese and I was born in the 90’s but for the life of me, listening to these classic J-pop songs feels like home to me. It’s as if I spent my childhood there in the 80’s.

As a japanese born in the early 80s, this takes me back to middle 2000s reggaeton golden era.
