This is an album that is created wholly from obscure songs pulled in from a parallel world's 1980s Japan, where different artists made their claim on the top 100 chart.
Starring such nonexistent female vocal artists as Matsubara Keiko, Nakada Suzuko, and Kojima Yukie, this album attempts to give a feel of the eras represented and present a poor man's version of what could have been. It is an experiment. Realistically, they cannot compare to the real innovative songs from the 70s and 80s sung by real artists. If you like the songs, feel free to enjoy them wholeheartedly. If you'd like to download the songs, let me know and I can set something up.
This is an experimental art piece which attempts to mimic the glut of generic 70s/80s/90s Japanese citypop mixes that flood the market. Recently there have been an increasing number of these that use poor-quality AI art in them and somehow manage to draw in hundreds of thousands of views nonetheless. The entire package is an art piece of experimentation in what the medium could be if there was a little less of the content-mill lazy mixes out there and people were not motivated by money or ad revenue, or had to remove songs and re-upload diluted versions due to an incessant amount of copyright claims and being unavailable in different countries.
Disclaimer: The song audio and artist visuals are entirely AI generated content. The lyrics are about half and half AI and human created. The album art was digitally manipulated after the fact to fix flaws in the generated content and add logos, era-appropriate fontwork, etc in order to give a stronger flavour to the representation of the era. The logos of record labels present in song album cover art are not representative of their endorsement or involvement in the production of this album. In fact, you should go and track down the real recordings and real songs those labels produced during this era and listen to those instead.
