In 2019, Light In The Attic unveiled Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR & Boogie 1976-1986—a groundbreaking collection that sent waves of excitement through the music community. For the first time outside of Japan, fans were treated to a treasure trove of sought-after tracks that had long eluded their grasp, unless they possessed insider connections or frequented the country's record stores. Featuring luminaries like Minako Yoshida, Taeko Ohnuki, Hiroshi Sato, and Haruomi Hosono, Pacific Breeze captured the essence of 70s-80s Japanese City Pop—a genre as diverse as it was intoxicating, blending elements of AOR, R&B, jazz fusion, funk, boogie, and disco with a hint of tropical euphoria.
Now, with Pacific Breeze 2: Japanese City Pop, AOR & Boogie 1972-1986, Light In The Attic delves even deeper into the rich tapestry of bubble-era Japan. From the infectious proto-City Pop funk of Bread & Butter to the hidden gems of Eri Ohno and Piper, this latest addition to the Japan Archival Series unveils a fresh selection of sought-after tunes, many of which have never before graced international ears. Artists like Tomoko Aran and Anri, featured on this compilation, have experienced a resurgence in popularity thanks to Vaporwave—a genre that heavily samples Japanese City Pop, infusing it with a unique aesthetic that resonates with modern audiences.
Once again, the evocative artwork of Tokyo-based illustrator Hiroshi Nagai adorns Pacific Breeze 2, transporting listeners to the urban tropical landscapes of 70s-80s Tokyo. Nagai's iconic imagery, synonymous with the City Pop movement, perfectly complements the expertly curated tracks, evoking a sense of nostalgia for the leisurely lifestyles of the era while remaining remarkably relevant to today's cultural zeitgeist.
Pacific Breeze 2 invites you on a captivating journey through the sounds of bubble-era Japan—a mesmerizing blend of nostalgia and innovation that continues to captivate music lovers around the globe.
