Was Listening to Issac Hayes on Youtube and Was Recommended this Japanese 80's Artist [Check Update]

Saw the same video sometime last year, this was really unexpected yet dope

Sade was considered yuppie music in the 80’s, she was criticized for it - new wave was also seen as upscale and promoted a certain lifestyle

I don’t think that applies to RNB, quiet storm only promoted themes around love and love making (fukkin’)

City Pop was music exclusively for that lifestyle and driving around in your nice car in Hong Kong at night - that lifestyle went away, so did the music

I'm talking 80s RnB, not new Jack swing or hop-hip soul. There's an old article interviewing Andre Harrell that talks about the coming transition at that time from the upscale, happy time image of singers in nice suits singing about mature love, to the more street sounds and subject matter of new Jack swing and hip hop. RnB even took this swing to more freaky music and less mature love subjects. This was what Ralph Tresvant was a victim of. Should have made that transition when he went solo.

Listen to Tatsuro Yamashyta. He is Mariya Takeuchi's husband. Probably is the one that really put her on. Dude is a legend out here in Japan. Every OG knows him

Still goes :shaqsing:

Dope little 10 minute doc about the most popular city pop track

 

[Cool DOC]

Ive listen to it so much, I'm trying to learn the lyrics as the first step to learning to speak Japanese.

japanese 70s/80s funk/jazz is actually really cool

this song is from the mid 90s but it has the same vibe:

Ayumi’s boom bap era isn’t highly HIGHYLY underrated

I like sweet 19 blues but anything after 2000 was pure j pop which I can’t stand.

Jazz influenced Japanese music is amazing that is half the reason cowboy bebop was so good it was the music

I think crystal Kay if she was full
Japanese she would have gotten the same push Namie, Ayumi and Utada got.

thread sent me looking for old music on youtube and uhhhhh

I googled this mf

In Italy, he scored a major hit in 1967 with "La pelle nera"[3] (the French version is "Je voudrais être un noir" ["I'd like to be a black man"][4]). This soul song, with its quasi-revolutionary lyrics imploring a series of Ferrer's black music idols to gift him their black skin for the benefit of music-making, achieved long-lasting iconic status in Italy.[5]

Was listening to Hung on My Baby by Issac Hayes and was recommended this video. Never heard of her and listened to it out of curiosity. I was shocked. The music at least is pretty dope chillout jazz tune.Could imagine listening to this on a late night drive and feeling relaxed.



Someone needs to sample this shyt. The intro is pretty chill and sounds good. Of course I don't understand a word she says after that.
@Fatboi1

Got some decent Jazz guitar in there at 3 minutes in. Figured I share since I felt I found a little gem.
