Nihongaku Radio Episode 69: Go Go Kenshi Yonezu

Nihongaku Radio

This episode really covers a lot of history. We’ve got The Blue Hearts doing their mid-’80s punk thing. We’ve got Cornelius make enemies with celestial bodies in the ’90s. And our featured artist set is occupied by the man all the way at the top of modern Japanese pop, Kenshi Yonezu.

And while Summertime may be my favorite time to listen to City Pop, it’s the genre is still giving me a hand getting through well, everything happening in the world at present. That’s why Junko Yagami’s “Tosagare Bay City” is in the mix this episode as well.
