Popis - LIGHT WAVE: TODAY & TOMORROW / VARIOUS:
This compilation offers a sweet snapshot of a sophisticated
sector of young Japanese pop music, circa 2014. Originally
released as a series of web-only EP's on Dai Ogasawara's
Ano(t)raks label, 'Light Wave' features artists born in the
1990s who are strongly influenced by the melodic, sophisticated
Japanese "City Pop" music of the '70s and '80s, as exemplified
by revered names such as Tatsuro Yamashita, Yumi Arai and Tin
Pan Alley. Also inspirational is the "Shibuya Style" pop of the
'90s, represented by artists like Pizzicato Five and Cornelius.
