Notably, 'Tokyo Bliss,' a compilation curated by DJ Notoya, features funk and boogie from King Records spanning the 1970s to 1980s. The album encapsulates Japan's ability to absorb and reinterpret foreign music, delivering rich microgenres like the track 'Garasumado' by Buzz. Additionally, the excitement around new releases from artists such as SPELLLING and De La Soul adds to the vibrant music landscape.
Mami Ayukawa's 'Sabita Gambler' embodies a cross between Debbie Gibson lost after Midnight and early Robert Palmer, creating a unique blend that thumps with energy.
