Old School J-pop Vol II

It’s been a while, folks!
The last mix was good fun, so on a lazy Sunday morning, I put together this playlist of some more favourites from the 50s - 70s: Think Showa-era, kayoukyoku, old school J-pop and enka of good vintage.

Featuring: Masako Mori, Meiko Kaji, Aoe Mina, The Wild Ones and more.

Well, hello there 8Tracks, it’s been a long time. Since…Vancouver? Wow. I have the uploader nestled in among my cluttered apps folder and everything. I forgot about you. Oops.

For old time’s sake, and because I’m working on a new summer mixtape proper, here’s a preview:

Roberto Gatto, Hermeto Paschoal, After Dinner, Mikado, Berntholer, Jolly Kunjappu, lots of sexy French talkovers and more….

Recommended: porch/balcony, iced green tea or Suntory highball.
