Songs = ソングス by Sugar Babe

This album is pretty perfect. Seminal for a lot of the city pop gods. OG outfit for Tatsuro Yamashita etc..

For You by Tatsuro Yamashita

Bruddy wrote the book on city pop and built a dynasty around it. And is still goated enough to not put the discog on spotify.

I’M NOT IN LOVE by PIPER

Best Piper album, doesn't have the best singles, but everything flows very nicely. I can hear the singer's mustache. So many people copy this guys style so I wonder if he's copping from some japanese household name or something. Synth and bass game are unstoppable on this one.

Il nostro caro angelo by Lucio Battisti

As an Italian, my experience of this album is arguably more complete than a non Italian speaker. Nevertheless, this album is Lucio Battisti's peak, in my opinion. The musical genius of his entire work comes out here with a unique intensity. The ancestral use of drums, the lyrics and his guitar skills paint a perfect picture of Italy in the 70's.

Band on the Run by Wings

Best Paul album, or Wings? so not even
