City Pop is a genre of Japanese music that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is characterized by its upbeat, catchy melodies, often featuring synthesizers and electric guitars, and its lyrics often focus on themes of love, youth, and city life. It is heavily influenced by Western music, particularly funk, soul, and disco, and often incorporates elements of jazz, rock, and Latin music. City Pop is often seen as a precursor to the J-Pop genre, and is still popular in Japan today.
