How would a City Pop anime be like?
How would a City Pop anime be like?

We have somewhat of a City Pop manga
I can't remeber the name, let me try to find it
Robert Barnes
Bump to give myself some more time to find it
Eli Brooks
Could we get that 80's animation style nowadays?
I'm thinking of an SoL of a City Pop singer
Christopher Cooper
Sailor moon
Adam Green
SoL yes, but the manga was contemporary, about a boy who likes 80s Japanese music a lot but wants nobody to find out because all of his friends listen to other music. He goes to karaoke and vinyl shops for his passion, and finds out (or gets found out, I don't remember) by another girl from his school and they discover that they share the same passion for this kind of music
I have read it more than a year ago, so I can't remember a lot
Jordan Hernandez
sounds like a plot of Beck
Austin Thomas
Seems interesting. I'll go check it out.
Jose King
YES I FOUND IT HOLY THAT TOOK ME LONG
Daniel Campbell

Liam Gray
He listens to lame music. What a dork. XD
Loved it.
William Martinez
Those YouTube CityPop compilations with Sailor Moon GIFs have really shaped our perceptions
Dylan Gonzalez
Looking at a picture of this makes me think of Van Paugam
God bless his soul, he deleted his channel
John Cox

I wish there were English lyrics translations of more '80s songs
Noah Young
I haven't seen it, but isn't that what Mirai was trying to do? Didn't a city pop artist literally do the OST?
Gabriel Ramirez
Slow Motion wo Mou Ichido?
Elijah Barnes
By their very nature they're not that hard to translate for amateurs. You should give it a shot.
Leo Hughes
>a city pop artist
more like THE city pop artist
Chase Morgan
Yes, that was the one, see
Asher Roberts
Not all of it, but the main theme (youtube.com
Jordan Campbell
*who is
Carson King
What's the word on scans, seeing as the series is already over.
Jace Taylor
>domestic and international perceptions
How so?
Luis Lopez
Do you mean the frequency of new chapters being translated? According to Baka-Updates, new chapters are being translated pretty infrequently every couple of months

The name City Pop and the hype came for Western fans only a couple of years ago. In Japan, many of the beloved "City Pop" artists are either cultural symbols like Yamashita and Takeuchi, or have vanished into obscurity (a sentiment that I think is well expressed early on in Slow Motion wo Mou Ichido). I have talked with some Japanese people about this City Pop wave in the West, and all of them were really suprised, especially with Yamashita, who they only really knew through songs like these youtube.com
Mason Turner
For anyone interesed in the Christmas Eve video here, the clips shown are advertisements for Japan Railways (JR)
Luis Perry
As a 80s jap music fan seems neat
Benjamin Walker
Is that the airport from Barakamon?
Dylan Reyes
Slow Motion wo Mou Ichido feels somewhat 80s in tone and style. Also 80s idol music is great.
Alexander Murphy
It comes from shitty vaporwave fags. I've loved 80s jpop and shit for a long time and it's getting annoying going into, say, a Yuki Saito video and just seeing the zoomers crowing about that shit.
On the other hand it's good music and I do like that more people are listening to it and making it more available meaning people now are able appreciate someone like Akina. Wonder how long before they start moving to 70s acts like Miyuki Nakajima, Naoko Ken and Candies.

Bump to save this thread
Robert Baker
80s/early 90s Japan legit seems like such a comfy time period. National optimism is a hell of a thing I guess.
Henry Hughes
Bump to save this thread again
Cooper Hill
This is super fucking cute man, thanks for showing us this
William Parker
Lotsa posers especially in the thread
Joshua Cooper
Who gives a shit about who likes it as long as its getting some level of popularity and recognition again. I hate elitists pricks like you so much.
Liam Johnson
Didn't a new City Hunter movie come out literally one week ago? I mean that seems close enough and they kept the old songs too
youtube.com
Austin Hernandez
There's only one thing worse than people disliking what I like; people liking what I like.
Jacob Foster
Here is your (you), fucking boomer.
Also bump.
Matthew Thomas
Fuck (you) too.
Evan Baker
I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to do some 80s poof style and apply a grain filter. Just something light and fun, and not overly dramatic like White Album.
Dylan Sanders
I love City Hunter OPs, Sara's the best. But the main problem with CH is how repetitive it looks, and how bland it looks outside of those OPs. Still fun, but too many fucking episodes.
Ryan Wilson
Well, they did this;
youtube.com
Elijah Adams
And that's about the closest they've come. It's like the goal here is to shoot for Kimagure Orange Road and Megazone 23.
Jacob Phillips
And it was absolutely godly. I hope someone tries doing this again eventually.
Nicholas Peterson
What does that mean?
Nathan Wilson
Check out Detroit Metal City, the MC is really into pop music though more swedish pop than city pop but they are petty similar.
