[BGM] Attractive City Pop
City pop is one of Japan’s popular music genres and feels very familiar, so it’s very pleasant to listen to.
Because “city pop” is a somewhat vague term and encompasses a wide range of musical styles, there are many songs with different vibes—so I’m sure you’ll find one you like.
I hope you find this helpful.

A song by the band FIVE NEW OLD from Kobe, Hyogo.
Included on their 2018 EP “For A Lonely Heart.” The moment the chorus hits feels amazing.
It’s stylish, so it should really appeal to girls.

Night Drivin’Neighbors Complain
This song was featured in the SUZUKI “WILD GRAFFITI” commercial and became a hot topic.
It was released in 2017 by Neighbors Complain, a four-member band from Osaka Prefecture.
As the title suggests, I think it’s perfect as driving background music.
Put it on and enjoy a date with someone you like!

It’s a track by the band Nulbarich, formed in 2016.
It was released in 2018 and gained attention when it was used in a Shiseido “ANESSA” commercial.
How about using it as background music for a drive with someone special?

Although the guitar tone is noisy, it somehow feels gentle.
It’s a song by the four-piece band RAMMELLS, included on their 2018 mini-album “take the sensor.” Akiko Kuroda’s clear, translucent vocals are wonderful.
I think it’s a sound that women might like as well.
