From LIGHT IN THE ATTIC—which has begun unearthing Japanese music, including reissues of Haruomi Hosono’s work and ambient music—comes the absolute best compilation of Japanese boogie and city pop: “Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR & Boogie 1976–1986.”

Starting from rock and Americana, Haruomi Hosono—one of the most influential figures in Japanese music history for introducing synthesizers and experimental music into pop—leads the way, followed by YMO-related artists (I’m especially happy to see F.O.E.’s “In My Jungle” included), Hiroshi Sato, Taeko Onuki, Minako Yoshida, Yasuko Agawa, Hitomi Toyama, and others—artists who have been re-evaluated in recent years. The tracks have been curated from a DJ’s and modern music perspective, and the impeccable remastering work truly shines. I’ve added this to my collection. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
