Citr -- Exploding Head Movies

Appropriate for the end of summer, gak finally tackles a long-promised episode devoted to the 1980s Japanese genre known as city pop. The entire playlist should be considered ultrasmooth with acts clearly inspired by this resurrected & imported style. Perfect for driving away from the city and to the beach.
