Japan’s boom economy beat the West at its own game in the 1980s. The pop music that was produced there could also compete with the production standards of the West. The so-called City Pop, which the “Pacific Breeze” series brings from the archives for the third time, shows once again how irresistibly the Japanese refined pop, disco, funk and jazz into melodious convertible music.
