RU-vidアルゴリズムにより颯爽とおすすめに現れた神曲たち

日本の音楽、特に80年代と90年代の日本のポップスはとても美しいです 👌❤

Sometimes Japanese Pop is the only thing that can lift my spirits. I feel like I can take on the world! Thanks for the upload.

このアルバムが発売されたのが1991年、 同名のバンドが結成されたのも1991年。

Thank you for having the title both in English and Japanese, along with timestamps for each song. It makes sharing this lovely album so much easier.

去年の春は間宮貴子を聞いていた。 今年は宇都美慶子で春を迎えよう！

シティポップってジャズ・フュージョン・ロック全盛期のミュージシャン達が演奏してるからとにかくサウンドとして心地よいんだよね 91年だともうバンドブームに押されてこういう80年代スタジオ系のサウンドは廃れ始めてる頃だったのかも知れないけど 時代性関係なく現代から振り返ると演奏のレベルの高さと音の良さに惹かれる

I feel like happy insideout when i hear this album. Keiko utsumi Mami ayukawa Miho morikawa Miki matsubara Mariya takeuchi This girls are legendary. Their music can make ur very bad day become happy and feels like Everything will be jz fine. Jz sit back,relax and enjoy, Drink some nice black coffee and relax.. Hallelujah 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What a hidden gem!

とにかく聞きやすいし、爽やかな気分になれる。 日本からこの分野が消えてしまって本当に残念

シティポップ気持ち良すぎだろ　一周回ってやっぱこれだねーって戻ってくる感じ

What a refreshing sound!!!! I didn't know this was the same sound I was listening to as a kid in the 80s-90s from relatives returning from Japan, being played on tapes and CDs. I am again that little kid in our Lancer GSR/ Hiace van, driving the mountain roads and seeing the city lights in the distance...

I saw L’arc~en~Ciel and got excited lol But there are no regrets! This is a fantastic find!

This album is really a gem of City Pop

L'Arc-en-Cielっていうから某有名バンドかと思いきや、素晴らしいシティポップでした。感服です。

having this in your recomended is the official certification of having good taste

バブルが終わってすぐの頃の唄だけど何だか明るい。Last J-POPって感じ。しかもやけに上手い。

イスタンブールからこんにちは、美しい日本人です。私はあなたとあなたの歌が大好きです。

当時ラジオで流れて来たランチタイム物語聞いて大好きになった思い出 「泣き出す姿ガラス細工だわ」この表現が儚げですごく好き。

こんなにいいアルバムなのに何で売れなかったんだ　日本人なのに今まで聞いたこと1度もないわ

18:30 if u born early 90's like me. This is type song u miss so much in childhood memories. I wish i can back at that time

The songs are charged with a lot of life and beauty 💖

日本人ですが、こんなステキな歌手と楽曲があっただなんて知らなかった！⤴️高校時分、俺は何をやっとったんじゃー！⤵️

このアルバム今でも大切に持っています。 「空に虹が浮かんでも」も勿論大好きですが、日曜日の朝の陽射しを思わせるような「春の花束（ブーケ）」がたまらなく好きなんです。

I was reading the wikipedia article on city pop music genre along with the first few seconds of this album and the article goes as "Considered inicially as the OST of the economical prosperity experienced by the country, its aestethic and cultural signature in the japanese society was intense." damm this feels accuarate.

These are the kind of songs that throws me back to my nonexistent past.

This is such a flashback album to a time when things were still fun, and life was exciting. American music was changing around this time and was not as fun as it had been in the 1980s, but this album felt like a natural continuation of a great and fun music style.

La experiencia de escuchar completo este albúm se siente tan nostálgico y a su vez tan bien, las melodías de las diferentes canciones. Simplemente espectacular. ¡Gracias por compartirlo!

Love it!

Nothing hits like a good old City Pop. Thanks for uploading.

Seguro que vos tampoco lo buscaste, pero dale las gracias RU-vid por sugerir esto y permitirte descubrirlo

Gosh Keiko's voice is so beautiful ✨

What a pure collection of jams. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Muchas gracias por subir esto amigo!, muy buen álbum, está increíble 😎🤏🏼

Today is the day I found out I've been missing out on Keiko Utsumi my whole life 🙏🏾🕊️🤍

Japan Song Vibes 1990 so very Amazing, Greeting from Indonesia

Phenomenal album from beginning to end. It feels like it keeps getting better and better all throughout.

Thank you.

This is a classic gem

俺もRU-vidのアルゴリズムによって出くわしてしまった

No meio de tantas músicas horríveis que são divulgadas constantemente, vez por outra o RU-vid acerta e recomenda coisas muito boas, e esse vídeo é um exemplo dessas maravilhas!

It's rare you find an album where every song is good.

Truly one of *the* finest pieces of albums from Japan.

Love this stuff

very very nice~ Thanks!

awesome!!

Thank You so much for uploading this masterpiece

You can tell this is very 90's ish. I like 90's city pop too

I love this album.

Track 8 production is mindblowin...

suddenly appears on my yt home page , loved it 😄

This is why I favor RU-vid's algorithm for music over Spotify. Mariya Takeuchi is golden, but this one is like a breath of fresh air haha

師匠！こんなに歌が達者だったとは、知りませんでしたよ！

Keiko is criminally underrated. This is an entire album of bangers.

This found me and i’m angry i couldn’t experience it any sooner because it truly is a masterpiece 😅

Como me encantan este tipo de canciones. c:

ありがう。アップ主さん♪ 聴き入りました。素敵な夕刻にかえた楽曲たち達…

very chill love it

So glad this vid got more views fantastic album

en cuanto la escuche, senti que iba por una carretera conduciendo junto a el mar, un domingo soleado, con la fresca brisa de verano en mi rostro y las gaviotas volando a la distancia. Con un cielo azul hasta donde alcanza la vista.

久しぶりに聴き懐かしいです。CD持ってました。

Love love love this!!❤🎉

こんな素敵な曲達があったんですね✨

Love it so much 😢❤

SHE IS SOOO MUCH BANGER!!

Keito’s albums of 2004-2021 are completely different from this 80’s album I love both eras, she’s amazing 🎶🎶🎶

めっちゃ良い曲ですね　 ご紹介ありがとうございます 他の曲も検索してみます

keep send positive vibe in this world

This album is so good, I don't understand much but good music is good music. I'm glad I clicked on this. 🎶❤️🎶❤️

Este album si esta muy buena. Muchas gracias por compartir

The fourth song reminds me of “Take me to the Spring” by Keiko Kimura. I haven’t listened to this album before but this is something I’d listen to on a Wednesday afternoon just relaxing in my room ❤

Parabéns pra você que foi sorteado pelo RU-vid com essa preciosidade

素敵な歌声❤ 好きです😊

These music is like a massage to your ears, I love it!

Thanks for uploading this. This is probably my most favourite channel on RU-vid

春の花束を新しいまちから頂いたんですね　新しいまちが楽しいですよね❤

聞いてて心地良いです🎵 バックの演奏もイイ👍

nice

Now I have to wonder if L'Arc en Ciel got their band name from this album. Great stuff!

本当に癒される、、、 見つけて良かった。Spotifyにも出てほしい。アップしてくれてありがとうございます😊いっぱい聴きます😊

really good album. great melody

RU-vid, obrigado por existir. Que playlist linda 😍

寒い夜が好きですね。

that’s so great

歌声もサウンドもマッチしていて、シンガーソングライターなんですね。聞き応えあります。素晴らしい。

wow japanese funk really is an endless gold mine. amazing album

Well guys, I have registered this album on my phone for celebrating the coming spring 🙏

love this

エモすぎ❤

You Tube is so interesting. At the time, I had no idea any of this was going on. I mean I knew other countries were doing other things, but back then it was just MTV and radio for most of us. I didn't hear any of this stuff. MTV was still actual videos, and internet hadn't taken off like that. It's just trippy to be able to go back and hear things from that era...and it's yet somehow futuristic

merci pour se beau partage. mention spéciale pour la dernière chanson. 👏👏👏💕
