Tatsuro Yamashita "ForYou" "Ride On Time" MariyaTakeuchi "Variety" Anri "Timely!!"Japan Special CityPop Set Of 4!! Description This is a set of albums representing the pinnacle of Japanese City Pop!
Tatsuro Yamashita's masterpiece "FOR YOU" is arguably the undisputed number one album in the genre known as "City Pop." While a remastered edition of For You has recently been released in Japan, this is the genuine original pressing! After the remastered edition, the price of the original pressing has skyrocketed even further. The phenomenal sound quality unique to the original pressing is truly outstanding.
Mariya Takeuchi's "VARIETY," a timeless classic, boasts worldwide popularity primarily due to the inclusion of "Plastic Love." It is highly sought after in Japan and has been traded at exorbitant prices. Recently, it has also been frequently used in DJ sets, making it increasingly difficult to find copies in excellent condition.
Speaking of Tatsuro Yamashita, "RIDE ON TIME" was a huge hit and allowed him more time to dedicate to the production of the aforementioned masterpiece "FOR YOU." This anecdote reflects the level of dedication that is evident in the album's quality. While a remastered edition of "RIDE ON TIME" has been released in Japan, this is the original pressing. The difference in sound quality is remarkable, as the original pressing is of the highest caliber.
Anri's "Timely!" is also immensely popular and commands high prices in Japan. It is a collection of timeless masterpieces that require no further explanation. A remastered edition of this album will also be reissued in July, but this is the authentic original pressing.
We will continue to offer a four-album set focusing on Tatsuro Yamashita and other Japanese City Pop gems, so please check it out. Enjoy the enchanting allure of Japanese City Pop to the fullest! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
