Melodies: Deviant Pop from Tokyo 1976-1986

The melancholy and unique melodies of Tokyo’s pop music between the late 70s and mid-80s. Influenced by the bands like Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, leaned into the city pop trend while seeking a mellower, more wistful resonance. Their music, blending reggae rhythms and the refinement of modern pop, captures the spirit of Tokyo’s streets and aesthetics of that era.
