About this Event

Ever since Mariya Takeuchi’s Plastic Love mysteriously went viral on YouTube in 2017, funky Japanese pop music from the late 70s and 80s (collectively known as City Pop) has slowly solidified itself as a mainstay of global internet culture. Through the bittersweet yet relentlessly catchy melodies, slappin’ basslines, energetic disco beats, and ample amounts of reverb; listeners vicariously conjure the memories of a nation basking at the height of economic boom, blissfully unaware of the bright future that will never materialize.

Brought to you by local jazz-fusion group Chen Baker, City Pop Nights will attempt to bring you said experience in the flesh. The night will mostly consist of hits from genre staples such as Miki Matsubara, Taeko Ohnuki, Tasturo Yamashita, and Casiopea; along with Western songs that also echo the sentiment.
