City pop recs from you to me, for safe keeping:

• "Furihata Ai (Ruby Kurosawa's VA if you are familiar with Love Live!) has LOTS of city pop-inspired tracks"
• "2 albums from 1977! Sunshower - Taeko Onuki, Twilight Zone - Minako Yoshida. also check out the artists Junko Ohashi and Miki Matsubara :)"
• "timely!! by anri is one of my favorite albums of all time, its a city pop must-have. just call me penny by hitomi tohyama is a pretty good album too"
• "I have too many recommendations for city pop (and 80s jpop in general...) I will try not to flood your comments too much: For all around immaculate world of sound try Harmony - EPO" (link)
• "the first song of this album by Oginome Yōko is a great example of 'the elaborate j-pop intro':" (link)
• "One of my favorite albums: Ōta Hiromi - I do, You do"(link)
• "love trip - Takako Mamiya is genuinely one of my favourite albums"
• "I adore these tracks off Surf & Snow ( 1980 ) by Yuming : 1. 彼から手をひいて and 8. サーフ天国、スキー天国. The layering of the vocal lines in both is so fun ^,^"
• "I can second Surf & Snow! It's a fantastic album. Also check out 天国のドア (The Gates of Heaven) and Delight Slight Light KISS released under her full name Matsutoya Yumi."
• "Video of live performance of Miss BROADCAST, the first song off of Gates of Heaven:" (link)
• "someone already mentioned the album its on but I CAN'T STOP THE LONELINESS by anri was one of my favourite songs around this time last year (im relistening to it now while typing this out! a fun song if you dont consider the lyrics. and even then, its still fun in a melodramatic (?) way. ?)"
