you've moved around city to city, country to country. you've fallen in love as many times as your heart has been broken by experiences, people, and cities.it's summer of 1993, you're 25 and living in tokyo. you've been working lengthy weeks, but have several days off work after this last work shift. you come home from work. the second you step into your apartment, you see your partner gleamy eyed. you've matched your vacation days. let's take a road trip, they say. you're naïve, yet optimistic. your naïve optimism is exactly what's made you a spontaneous risktaker. you agree, pack, and head out the door with no question or intention of where to go. it's 11:02 pm. you sit in the passenger side and your partner drives west toward osaka. it's 18° celsius. you roll down your windows halfway to catch a moderate breeze through your fingertips. you make a split second of eye contact with your partner. with each streetlight you've driven by, shadows move pass within the car. you catch a glimpse of the moonlight in the corner of your eye and the radio starts to play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ak_dm2ehke cindy - 私達を信じていて [believing in us]angel touch (1990)falling in love anthem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uxpv8tx9ds 間宮貴子 - モーニング・フライト[takako mamiya - morning flight]love trip (1982)radiant, light, business class https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckrsn2zwt_o 杏里 [anri] - shyness boytimely!! (1983)upbeat 'love at first sight' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oryw6tglbvk 竹内 まりや [mariya takeuchi] - septemberlove songs (1980)learning to say goodbye. summer fades https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sznt2bqwpou 中原めいこ - ジャグラ[meiko nakahara - juggler]ミ・ン・ト [mint] (1983)your funky, bassed out, get back on your feet, heartbreak anthem summer ends and you find yourself back in the cycle of love and heartbreak. 楽しんで [enjoy!] city pop is a genre in japan that gained popularity in the 1980s. it demonstrates and reiterates its cosmopolitan influence.
