Pacific Breeze

Pretty mid-tier compilations of City Pop and related music, but at least they're stuff that's not just from the Youtube algo. The instrumental choices are probably better, but I usually get bored of them. A whole comp of them might be better.They're about to come out with a third.

Picking out some of the good songs (NB: first one has the least amount of songs I skip). ? in 'Note' is a maybe:

Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR & Boogie 1976–1986
Title	Artist	Original Album	Note
I Say Who	Tomoko Soryo	City Lights By The Moonlight
Subterranean Futari Botchi [サブタレニアン二人ぼっち]	Nanako Sato	Funny Walkin'
Sports Men	Haruomi Hosono	Philharmony	Doesn't really fit the comp., but is a real earworm.
Say Goodbye	Hiroshi Sato	Awakening
Bamboo Vender	Masayoshi Takanaka	Jolly Jive	? Maybe just 'cause it's Splatoonesque
L.A. Night	Yasuko Agawa	Gravy

Title	Artist	Original Album	Note
Hidari Mune No Seiza [左胸の星座]	Tetsuji Hayashi	Nine Stories	?
