For me, it was Mariya smiling at me from the thumbnail with the title “Plastic Love” back in 2017. I’m probably not alone with this story but I’d love to read your stories of your intro to city pop.

I feel I do that in the reverse order. I listen to future funk stuff and pick the samples. Only really started on Saint Pepsi a few months ago. Though I’ve done alright with Macross 82-99.

I use Last.fm and it’s so weird seeing Tats have such good numbers given how far out of your way you’ve gotta go to listen to his stuff.

I mean, good for him, but man does it suck for anyone new to the scene. There's a pretty important and very personal story I have tied to my "discovery" of him and city pop as a whole, so I hate to imagine how things would've turned out if that story happened now when it's a struggle to find him on YouTube. I know I wouldn't have really tried anywhere else at that time. 😅 It'd be nice to have a physical collection one day, so I can see what all the hype's about. 😂
