This Doodle celebrates Japan City Pop, a music genre that peaked in the 1980s when the nation was experiencing a technological and economic boom. It was heavily influenced by Western music like jazz, funk, disco, and soul, and cultural trends like fine dining, flashy clothing, and nightlife luxury. More than 30 years later, the genre is experiencing an exciting resurgence among Japanese youth. Google searches for "City Pop" trend highest in the summer months likely due to its vibrant artwork featuring urban landscapes and breezy beaches.
City Pop made a resurgence during the 2010s thanks to the internet. Many fans attribute City Pop’s overwhelming success and triumphant return to its nostalgic sound and stylistic blend. To answer the growing demand for the genre in the ‘80s, many labels created compilation albums of top hits and pressed them onto wax. Vinyls have since become synonymous with City Pop culture, and the recent worldwide comeback of records and crate digging has likely aided its rediscovery.
