More Than City Pop: A Guide to Japanese Pop In The 80s (Anime Los Angeles 2023) Panel Slides

​This is the second edition of the "More Than City Pop" panel. (Following its debut at Pacific Media Expo 2022.) It features slightly longer clips, which you can't see here, and maybe a few more inaccuracies than can be found it later versions. Writing this one was the worst as some conflicting information was found before con, but couldn't be fully researched in time to make changes. It is mostly here for posterity purposes, to check out the songs/groups that we covered here, and to prove that A-to-J indeed never does the same panel twice!

Oh, and since it's not evident on the slide, here are the songs used in the opening montage:

• Yes-No - Off Course (1980)
• Ikenai Rouge Magic - Kiyoshiro Imawano & Ryuichi Sakamoto (1982)
• Kimi ni Mune Kyun - Yellow Magic Orchestra (1983)
• Ribbon - Chiemi Hori (1985)
• Friends - Rebecca (1986)
• DANCING HERO - Yoko Oginome (1986)
• Angel - Kyosuke Himuro (1988)
