And many Japanese people would disagree with your definition. Many musicians would disagree. I personally really don't like the label, and artists nowadays trying to label themselves just muddy the waters even more.
Anyway, lots of cool artists you're sharing, so I'm happy to see more people listening to awesome Japanese music! Thanks for the thread.
Maybe I haven't listened to enough but I'm not hearing 70s just funk holdovers that became a foundation of 80s pop but in a purely 80s way.
Any fans of Shintaro Sakamoto in here?

How to Live with a Phantom and Let's Dance Raw are both awesome. I feel like we might need an "experimental" Japanese music thread to discuss music like Sakamoto's.
Still waiting on How To Live With a Phantom to get here from Japan
