Goodbye Summer Breeze / Mariya Takeuchi (1978) The ultimate city pop classic compilation! In an era where the term "city pop" is being interpreted broadly, this compilation deliberately sticks to the traditional image of "city pop," ensuring a satisfying experience for everyone. It focuses on original songs from the golden age of city pop from the mid-70s to the 80s. In addition to classic staples, it also includes songs re-evaluated by DJs and popular songs from overseas, all in a well-balanced selection. This two-disc set is divided into two discs: the "Urban Side," which mainly features uptempo tracks, and the "Ocean Side," which mainly features mellow numbers, allowing listeners to choose according to their mood or situation. Hitoshi Kurimoto, author of the book "Understanding the Basics of City Pop with These 100 Discs!" (Seikaisha Shinsho), is in charge of planning, track selection, and commentary. The CD artwork uses the illustration by Eijin Suzuki, which was used on the cover of the aforementioned book.
