'Pacific Breeze 3: Japanese City Pop, AOR & Boogie 1975-1987' marks the latest chapter in the famed series and features holy grails plus under-the-radar rarities. The collection bursts at the seams to reveal some of the greatest Japanese tracks ever laid to tape, pushing towards the edge of City Pop to reveal glimmers of the next waves of styles to spring forth from the country's creative minds. The appearance of Pizzicato Five hint at the emergence of Shibuya-kei while the influence of hip hop and electro as an emerging global trend are also evident here through the prevalence of heavier programmed drum beats on tracks such as 'Heartbeat' by Miho Fujiwara. Comes on 2 2LP set on black vinyl, with OBI-strip and extensive artist bios.TRACKS:01. Naomi Akimoto - Bewitched (Are You Leaving Soon)02. Atsuko Nina - Tonkachi03. Miho Fujiwara - Heartbeat04.
