According to Takiguchi, City Pop's focus is on the theme of the city and the ocean. "There's a desire that's turned into sound that is what City Pop is all about," he explains. "It's about leisure."
Inspired by soul music, AOR and fusion, Takiguchi started his music career in middle school when he formed a band. He joined Tower Records after finishing school and throughout his 20s he continued to make music, taking influences from acid jazz and Shibuya-kei. Though a hobby at first, he eventually gave into pressure from his friends and in 2003 he released his debut album, "City Music" with vocalist Tomomi Sano. For his second album, "Tokyo Sniper" (2006), he was joined by vocalist Hitomitoi, and his third album, "Natural Woman," was recorded with vocalist Atsuko Hiyajo.
Summer in the city: City Pop artist Toshiaki Takiguchi, who records as Ryusenkei, says the genre is "all about leisure."
His most recent effort comes in the form of former bandmate and singer Hitomitoi's latest album, "City Dive." Takiguchi invited fellow City Pop enthusiasts Dorian and Kashif (aka Stringsburn) to join the project and they contributed to the album's songwriting and arrangements. The album, which came out on Billboard Records on June 20, contains what the label calls "new city music" and its textures and sounds recall the early '80s.

トワイライトすれ違う言葉に
重ねる唇の温もり
繰り返す恋の魔法
不安な心の空
すべての人が同じ空を見てるの
疲れた後眠るころ
街は流星に包まれていくのね
いつも
このままどこかにいって
あなたを忘れてしまえたら
夢見ることを忘れて
心のドアが軋む
すべての人が違う未来みてるの
あなたの未来はわたしだけ
おいてくの
心の流星は最高に光ってる
一瞬
時の彼方へと走り出すピアノ
このままずっと同じリズム
朝霧の中すり抜けていく
あなたの流星に乗って
目が覚めない包まれていたい

this song makes me want to walk by the street during a rainy night with the credits sliding next to me
@fira6296
Thank you!! i used to listen to this on soundcloud and It's gone somehow :(
@tomtik101
Same! Pity, because I think the Soundcloud one had a slightly longer outro, if I remember correctly :(

I wonder what's the story behind this album, as far as I know the place on the album cover was the recipient of a famous music festival in Osaka.
