An amazing song by this japanese Trio, Cosmos:
Here in the comments we find some interesting info by the user seaboatsk:
Ms. Keiko Matsui, one of the three memembers of the band, is now teaching at a college in Japan. She has been in USA for some years and has been awarded for her excellence by a US smooth jazz committee in 2000 and 2001. In Japan in 80s, so many TV and radio programs put songs of smooth jazz bands, such as, Cosmos, Casiopea (Japanese), Fruitcake (Dutch), Mezzoforte (Icelandic), and Shakatak (UK), on air.
Broken piano jazz for you

Found Phantasia by chance. I wanted to buy the CD. Hard to find a 1981, right? It looked pretty obscure.
Then I read the description:
This project is a heartfelt tribute to the golden age of Japanese jazz fusion. Through storytelling, music and AI, we aim to reimagine a lost era and evoke the timeless beauty of this genre.
Yes. C i t y p o p.
What a hit:
EDIT:
Actually there are more layers of complexity… SHAMBARA has a connection with Casiopea. If you check the wiki you’ll find that Akira Jimbo and Tetsuo Sakurai from Casiopea formed SHAMBARA together with the rest of SHAMBARA members.
Lately, I’m into Citypop. As everyone else.
It’s familiar. It’s groovy. It’s soothing. It connects with a lot of people and gives you a very positive feeling.
I follow the YouTube Channel Music Radar Clan which is an excellent channel where the creator does small documentaries on a variety of topics related to music and musicians. If you understand Spanish, I highly recommend it.
In his video on Citypop he showed how this genre was the portrait of a growing economy and positivism that Japan lived in the 80s. Consumerism was everywhere, all was good as there was money and things to do with it. It was a golden age for the people living there apparently.
