G.O.A.T! One of the best city pop song of Japanese 80’s and TV animes!
If you are really proud of yourself as a huge fun of Kadomatsu Toshiki, Otaki Eiichi, Yamashita Tatsuro, Takeuchi Maria, Anri…Yellow Magic Orchestra (Y.M.O). Everyone over here please! 80’s city pop, techno pop lover, you must love these tunes below!
Including a song, which is 80’s city pop-esque!! 🙂
If you’re planning to dig in vinyl records of 80’s city pop, stop by Darumaya or Disk Union in Tokyo and its suburbs. They have treasure troves of Japanese Showa-era music.
People might say, the most famous anime song of 80’s is “Theme of Lupin The Third”(instrumental). Or “Get wild – Theme of City Hunter” by TM Network.
But don’t forget this one, the ending song ”Miraikeisatsu Urashiman”, which is 80’s TV anime, not only coolest techno pop (technology pop) song but also 80’s TV anime song of Japan! It is still brilliant even in 2022! No joke!
Although, I could hardly remember how the story goes, OK, ask wiki! Ta-dah….the story background set at Tokyo in 1983.
While the boy(Urashiman) has been chased by cop cars from episode 1 opening sequence, finally he got lost in parallel world with sudden thunder strike and forced himself to travel through time… time warp…eventually he arrived the neo-futuristic world in 2050.
This song titled “Dream City Neo-Tokio” as it means he exactly showed up Tokyo city in 2050.
He was called “Urashiman” who is lost himself and his name, memories of the past. After being captured by future cops, he became a detective to investigate the mystery of his situation, he started finding himself. Who is the enemy?
