This week, we finally dive into the cultural behemoth that is K-Pop Demon Hunters—six months late and fully confused. We talk through how this extremely catchy, hyper-animated, wildly popular kids' movie managed to conquer 2025, even though it's… fine? We break down what works (the faces, the music, that glorious fat tiger), what doesn't (the pacing, the unearned romance, the baffling reconciliation), and why we're still not convinced it deserves the cultural chokehold it has. Plus, we catch up on everything we've been checking out lately—from doom metal to City Pop to WOJIA novels—and wonder how we went from Spider-Verse to this.Episode NotesWe kick things off with hard root beer, ingredient confusion, and the audacity of “beer, sugar, caramel color” as an ingredients list.Thanksgiving rant: we complain about Christmas invading everything earlier each year, praise gratitude as a practice, and call out the consumerist creep of “Black November.”Eden shares the saga of the family WhatsApp gratitude initiative and why performative gratefulness ain't it.New Year's resolutions? Terrible. A system designed to fail—except for gyms and planner companies.What We've Been Up ToEdenNot much… exhaustion + scrolling + arguing with Reddit.Reading more Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady.Secretly going full Wuxia-pilled but not ready to talk yet.Deep in digital accessibility at work (contrast ratios forever).Listening almost exclusively to City Pop to summon 80s vibes.PeterHeavy music roundup:Shores of Null / Convocation split.A Sun of the Dying – Throne of Ashes.The Reticent – Please (mental-illness-theme concept album).1914 – Viribus Unitis, a blackened death metal concept album about WWI.Bell Witch & Aerial Ruin – Stygian Bough Vol. 2, the lightest album of the three (which says something).Finished all seven Murderbot books and reflects on the genuinely human core beneath the action.Game updates:PowerWash Simulator 2 — massive improvements, more forgiving completion, soap freedom.Ball Pit (Ball×Pit) — breakout + roguelike + city builder; surprisingly great, Devolver-approved.
Mr. Jun Parker is a Japan-born city pop musician based in Portland, Victoria. - ビクトリア州はポートランドにお住まいのジュン・パーカーさんは、母国である日本が発祥の音楽「シティポップ」を手掛けるミュージシャンです。今月リリースされた新譜「色褪せたフォトグラフ」について聞いてみました。
We all know what happened to the sorcerer's apprentice, right?Mickey Mouse got hold of a spell book before he was smart enough to use it, conjured a broom that just wouldn't quit, and nearly got sucked into a whirlpool. Yet, tragically, no one can remember what the moral of this story was supposed to be!This week we batten down the hatches in preparation for the #slopwave – at least, that was the plan a couple of months ago when we first started worrying about the volume of mass-produced AI gibberish coming down the pipes. Now it kinda feels too late? Like microplastics in the brain, we're already compromised.Still, we start by tackling the current wave of AI slop infiltrating country music, the lo-fi beat scene, City Pop and faux-vintage soul before turning to deeper conundrums about AI-generated art. Could an AI music app like Suno ever produce a hit? Is Suno really so much worse than using a loop library like Splice? And will AI ever create anything as meaningful as Mr Blobby? These questions and more on a slopulent edition of No Tags.We're not pretending to be experts here – just listen to that new No Tags theme song for proof! – so we'd love to hear from people who either work in AI or operate in a field that's started to feel the slop.

1952 - die Alliierten verlassen Japan. Zurück bleibt ein Land im Wandel: Vom zerstörten Kaiserreich zur aufstrebenden Wirtschaftsmacht. In den 60ern beginnt der große Boom. Textilexport war gestern - heute rollen Autos vom Band. Und mit ihnen: ein neuer Sound, denn was die Alliierten auch hinterlassen haben ist Musik - genauer gesagt Jazz. Die Wurzel tief in japanischer Erde verankert sprießen bald neue Klangblüten: Rock, Funk, Boogie. Erst als Coverversionen, bald schon als ganz eigene Bewegung. (superfly.fm)

Support us on Patreon for higher bitrate downloads and bonus episodes. We're back to normal from Megami Tensei month with another bit of a grab bag episode of Sunsoft soundtracks. Boin, who previously joined us for a mini-episode on Journey to Silius returns to talk about a little bit of Blaster Master, a lot of GIMMICK and a little more about City Hunter for the PC Engine. Sunsoft are almost as well regarded for their soundtracks as for their games, if not more so, so we have a good chat about the general sound for these games and especially the influence of Jazz Fusion and City Pop on the latter two soundtracks.

In the late 1970s a young Tatsuro Yamashita was making a name for himself as a prolific session musician and songwriter. He launched his solo career, but didn't see big commercial success at first. Yamashita took a trip down to the US and learned some tips from Western producers and began building up his solo work back when he returned to Japan. This would include some of his most iconic songs, like Ride on Time and Loveland Island, both of which are included in this Greatest Hits comp we're talking about today.Dr. Jayson Chun, Japanese and Korean pop culture professor, sits down with us to talk about why city pop resonates with Western listeners, CM songs, and Tatsuro's work with Charles Calello.Check out our Spotify playlist of as many songs as we can find on there!

We're covering a banger of an album today, folks. Timely!! is the sixth studio album from singer Anri and has a couple of her signature songs, Cat's Eye and I Can't Stop the Loneliness. Cat's Eye was the opening for the 1983 anime of the same name and would go on to become one of the highest selling singles of the year. The album soared up the albums charts and was reissued in 2008. This version had remastered versions of every track, but also included Remember Summer Days, which at that point had only been available as a B-side to the single I Can't Stop the Loneliness. The remaster is the version most widely available now and Remember Summer Days has gone on to become a city pop classic. Oscar Montoya, actor and host of the MaxFun podcast Eurovangelists, joins us to talk about the anime-to-city-pop pipeline, Anri's chances in Eurovision, and that iconic artwork for Timely!!

New Romantic: A subculture movement that originated in the UK in the 1970s and early 80s that focused on a more androgynous and glamorous style. Artists and bands like Boy George and Roxy Music popularized the look and feel of the New Romantic style.Neuromantic: Yukihiro Takahashi's 1981 solo album. A pun on New Romantic and a reference to Takahashi's own neurosis. Neuromantic may have all three members of Yellow Magic Orchestra, but this was Takahashi's chance to showcase his incredible musicianship. He collaborated with Andy McKay and Phil Manzera of the aforementioned Roxy Music to create a masterpiece that wasn't afraid to challenge the listener with its futuristic cyberpunk-esque sound.DJ/Curator/Producer Mark "Frosty" McNeill joins us to talk about the European influence in Neuromantic, the process of creating the Pacific Breeze compilations, and how the boom of city pop has affected record labels and artists today.Check out our Spotify playlist for this episode!

Singer-songwriter Taeko Onuki released the landmark album SUNSHOWER in 1977. Taeko and this album where maybe a little ahead of their time. This jazz fusion pop record sold pretty poorly when it first came out and audiences weren't too keen on this new, strange music. As time has gone on, it received a much more positive reception and has gone on to be reissued a few times and is now seen as a progenitor of the City Pop sound. Music writer Patrick St. Michel joins us to talk about his experience interviewing Taeko Onuki, the incredible personnel on this incredible album, and how ahead of the game SUNSHOWER really was.

On November 5th, 1979, Miki Matsubara's debut pop single "Mayonaka no Door/ Stay with Me" was released in her home country of Japan. It was a huge hit and remained her biggest and most beloved work throughout her entire career. Over 40 years after its original release, it soared in popularity once again when a whole new international audience discovered the song through TikTok. Its catchy hook and incredible vocals still resonate with listeners today and has become a staple in the City Pop genre. If you've heard one City Pop song, it's probably Stay with Me.On our inaugural episode of Primer, radio/tv presenter Linda Marigliano joins us to discuss City Pop icon, Miki Matsubara and her debut record, Pocket Park. We get into the unexpected renewed interest in Mayonaka no Door, the story behind Miki's sudden departure from the music scene, and Linda's personal connection and discovery of City Pop.Check out our Spotify playlist for this episode!

Singer and actress Yasuko Agawa released the album Gravy in 1987. It was a bit of a departure from her smooth jazz, bossa nova roots, but she created an unforgettable record with the help of arranger Augie Johnson. It may have flown under the radar when it was first released in Japan, but the single "LA Night" has quietly become a soulful funky staple for many DJs all over the world. It's been sampled countless times and is now arguably Yasuko's biggest hit outside of Japan.Singer-songwriter Devendra Banhart joins us this week to talk about how Gravy and "LA Night" in particular sells a beautiful fantasy of Los Angeles, Augie Johnson's work with Yasuko Agawa, and how City Pop affects his own work. Plus, we get on the phone to talk with singer Miki Howard about her work on Gravy and it's recent resurgence in popularity.Check out our Spotify playlist for this episode!
