Fuck! I waited too long to listen to this. Damn, that's now 3 City Pop artists I've listened to that have all passed away from some form of cancer. Miki Matsubara, Cindy, and now Junko Ohashi.
it wasn't till today I found out about her passing and it was because I was listening to her songs and wanted to know how old was she. Rest in peace, Junko. Thanks for everything, I've been listening to your music since 2018 and I didn't know you were fighting Cancer since that year. You'll be missed but I feel relieved won't have to suffer now, we love you so.
Japanese summers are bad. Air sticks to you and humdity is off the charts. Disliked them since I was 5 which was the first i time I went to Japan to visit family. August and Spring is actually the best season and time to go imo. It's like Los Angeles during winter. Nice and warm, but cool and snowy. Just be warned to get vaccinated while going their in any season except summer. Influenza easily spreads because of the small housing plots.
She died. I used to listen to her in middle school. She made a lot of my early teenhood more comforting. I hope she rests in piece knowing she made people’s lives brighter.
Junko Ohashi was my musical juggernaut, when I was 13 I use to put on this very song everyday because I couldn’t get enough of it, I vividly remember rewinding this song numerous times to the point where I would never get to the ending because every point of this song was beautiful to me. Her music would always get me through different points of my life even if I was mad at the world and not happy with my current state of life, I’m now a sophomore in high school and seeing her death also pulled the plug on the music side of my life. I hope you are resting in peace knowing you made people smile with your music. Even through death your essential soul will live on and your essential music. Whoever is behind this account, thank you for helping making this women known, you are deeply in my gratitude
Her music greatly impacted my life, as well. She brightened up my days whenever I felt sad. I’m so happy she blessed the world with her talent! RIP Queen!
You are way too young to be talking about different points in your life and your love of music dying, live some more years, explore the world, and come back to music like this.
Challah Bread NYC is the quintessential image of what America is all about to most foreigners. Big and beautiful, but also scary and dangerous. Full of wealth and opportunity, but also despair and suffering. In alot of ways, NYC is as "America" as it gets.
If you are a fan of soul music this song seems to have taken inspiration from Chaka Khan’s “whatcha gonna do for me” they sound very similar so maybe you hear a bit of her song in this and it reminds you of the past I which you heard it.
I wound up here because of a video exploring the origins of Super Mario Bros. music, which featured "Summer Breeze" by Piper as the Star power theme inspiration. I went to find that song to hear the whole thing, Plastic Love was in the suggestions bar, and it's been off to the races ever since
Awesome stuff! I definitely will be making a video about the drive, but also the trip in general. If you check out my channel and search "Japan" you'll find the first two parts from my Japan vlog with some friends. Editing new parts as we speak.
imagine being japanese business man on the top floor of ur building overlooking the purple-orange sunset with the wind breeze on your face, and a mixed drink on your right hand, with this song in the back
I don't know why, but every city pop song i've heard until now gives me really nostalgic vibes from a time i didn't even get to experience, I don't even get a single sentence beyond the ones in english, and still the few songs i've heard manage to push that feeling into my heart...
i remember checking about her weeks ago when she was still alive and i was so glad, but i'm now just realizing she passed away a week ago... this is making me really sad:(, rest in peace Junko Ohashi, we will always have you in our hearts and we will never forget your legacy🕊️

I love how I began to listen to city pop to feel nostalgic for times I never had, but now that’s it been so long since I’ve discovered it, I legitimately just feel normal nostalgia now. This doesn’t remind me of times I never had anymore, it reminds me of my younger self now.

I had to watch a video in engineering class explaining "why the World Trade Center went down" and the mechanics behind it. Breaks my heart. It's an engineering marvel that one civil engineer in a million gets a chance to create. Shame a beautiful masterpiece went down like that. This song and album picture makes me feel like I'm in the 80s, when the World Trade Center stood tall in the New York skyline.
this one is definitely Junko's magnum opus, literally never get tired of listening to it, especially 2:14 onwards, used to go to school "trying" to sing that part lol
I remember listening to this at a smokey jazz bar in Tokoyo during the summer of 85. I met a girl named Kiki, she was the cutest Japanese girl I've ever met in my life. We hit the town, went to an arcade, ate amazing ramen, and enjoyed the amazing Japanese scenery. She then asked if I wanted to go to her apartment and before I could answer, I woke up.
I swear japan was just cranking out a crazy amount of funky hits for a whole decade. Very high production value and they understand the art they're performing... so genius shout out to the performers!
Rest in peace queen 😢 you will never see this, but I still want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the countless moments of happiness that your music gave me and will continue to give me through the years
色々ありがとうございました Junko you have done so much for me your music has changed my life I can’t thank you enough no other artists music has touched my soul like yours and it breaks mine to hear this news your sound and voice has brought so much joy into my life and so many others when I’ve felt like giving up the upbeat music kept me dancing and in good spirit your music is legendary I will never forget you or stop playing your music you are a legend to me you are the queen of citypop I love this song so I’m going to be dancing to this song and the sounds of your music for decades to come and I won’t let the next generations forget your funky sounds rest in peace citypop queen Junko ohashi.

Geoff Smith Really. Your okay with it as long as it stays up? Then you shouldn't be okay with them taking it down......this is contradictive logic of the next level.
I remembered something i read on the original post of this song it said something like "imagine driving on a bridge on your car listening to this while the sun is just coming out and you feel the fresh air on your face" i feel it everytime

I swear the basslines from Japanese artists in the 80's completely nailed the simplicity is key aspect of Bass. Such unbelievably clean, easy to follow basslines. So good.
Sorry if I'm bothering you but I have in Discord a community where we discuss and talk about Japanese music join if you're interested discord.gg/neWh8ve
Can confirm it, i found out about City Pop back in July and since then RUclips has been recommending me more and more of it. Not that i'm complaining 😎😏🤗
"This song is simply amazing! I can't help but feel so happy and upbeat whenever I listen to Junko Ohashi's "I Love You So". The catchy tune, combined with her sweet and infectious vocals, just gets me moving and singing along every time. The lyrics are so simple and sincere, and they really hit home for me, reminding me of the beauty of true love. Overall, this song is definitely one of my all-time favorites, and I can't get enough of it. Thank you, Junko Ohashi, for sharing your talent and creating such a timeless classic!"
It was inspired by chaka khan 100%. actually the entire city pop genre is inspired from RnB, soul, funk, jazz fusion and disco as well as some other genres. Its really cool to me how even when im not listening to music from black people, Im listening to music inspired by black people. Its funny how black people had a inspiration for Japanese people and later on the reverse happened.
@@guywithglasses3114 "What you gonna do for me", covered by Chaka Khan/1981 was originally recorded by AWB/1980 - written by Hamish Stuart and Ned Doheny.
why do people find it so surprising that the album cover is the old world trade centre? i mean no wonder people would take pictures of it its new york and it was also quite the pretty place.
Azer Co. this specific album isn't available for download there. I've already checked and asked numerous places for a link to the full album. the closest I'd be able to get with listening to the full thing is if I were to buy the vinyl for 260 dollars on discogs :(
This album was only ever available on vinyl, and it is rare, $100 in Japan. 10/12 of the songs are on other albums, Tasogare and Tea for Tears, which are available on the website linked above.
Well, it's hard to find even on streaming apps like spotify. It kinda amazes me considering how good this sounds, it's a shame it's no easily available.
I was looking for this song I found it about 7 years ago I couldn’t remember the name. I typed in Japanese fusion, and followed the related videos until the algorithm synchronized with me. All before an add popped up, and I’m smoking meats on oxtail Wednesday. Miracles do happen. Stay hard.
Matsubara Miki's song Stay With Me went really tiktok famous and got #1 trending song on lots of music streaming services. Tons of people are listening to city pop now.
I got into it because of sampling music. I listen to the tracks normally before thinking abt samples, and Japanese city pop is a genre that stuck with me after this song specifically. This song is definitely one i think abt alot lmao
I used to listen straight right after I’d finished studying for my GCSEs in the stuffy library all day, good memories of letting the first breath of fresh air of the day hit lol
Si llegas a leer esto quiero que sepas que te amo, aunque no nos conozcamos y seguramente nunca nos veremos en persona, ¡Yo te amo! Sólo porque compartimos este momento, este planeta y esta canción.
And suddenly, my recommendations were full of Japanese funk.
RUclips finally gets me.
Harold Samson yeah my recommended randomly had "plastic love" in it and now I'm addicted to 80s jpop
I bet the same happened to many others, it happened to me also
it could happen to you!
Harold Samson hahahahahaha mine too
hahahaha same here
She may be gone but she will never be forgotten. RIP Junko Ohashi.
I don’t believe it man I don’t want to my heart hurts from this news
Omg I found out through this comment rn, I always listen to her. I can’t believe it at all
Through her music, she will forever be remembered
She's in my mega hits and introducing her to new people she will live on 🎵
i thought u were tallkin about the towers lmao
Rest in peace queen, your music will live through the ages
Just found out after seeing this comment. She’s no longer suffering. 🤍
It was just 1 week since i listened to this banger RIP

Damn, that's now 3 City Pop artists I've listened to that have all passed away from some form of cancer. Miki Matsubara, Cindy, and now Junko Ohashi.
Japanese 80's funky city pop:
Killer beat
Groovy bass line
Lit sax solo
Soulful Vocal
yessir and that jazz near at the end of the song, best shit
and the towers are still there too, man I miss those times
and fire bass lines
And a big American city as the cover 100%

i honestly love this song so much i can't explain it, i mean Junko Ohashi, Mariya Takeuchi and Miki Matsubara are just Top tier R.I.P Miki
Persobally Junko Yagami is at the tip of my list but they're all fantastic
this isn't a miki song but ok

Highly recommend Minako Yoshida too if you haven't heard of her

The Japanese didn't just love us, they loved New York. So many album covers where it's just a picture of NYC for no reason.
Challah Bread NYC is the quintessential image of what America is all about to most foreigners. Big and beautiful, but also scary and dangerous. Full of wealth and opportunity, but also despair and suffering. In alot of ways, NYC is as "America" as it gets.
Doki Doki Hamburger Club As a foreigner I can confirm that
As an American I can say that that is not what America is all about, everywhere except the big ugly cities
Generalizations and bullshit but you believe what you want to stranger
scanny *Soo True* !
dem _vocals_ tho
Aye. Probably the very best that Japanese city pop had to offer, and better than much of what we got here today.
Did you also get caught into the plastic love spiral?
Hola amigo, no veo tus vídeos ni sabía quién eras pero vi que eres un youtuber famoso
smooth flowing voice. just awesome
Similar chord progression to Epik High's Fly! And flute/horn section to MJ's Rock With You!
The intro of this song and the cover of this album is so nostalgic to me. It makes me feel some inexplicable feelings.
Like fat larrys band Act like you know
If you are a fan of soul music this song seems to have taken inspiration from Chaka Khan’s “whatcha gonna do for me” they sound very similar so maybe you hear a bit of her song in this and it reminds you of the past I which you heard it.
@@vingancacoracao2552I’m so glad I’m not the only one thinking that it sounds like this specific Chaka Khan song

I wound up here because of a video exploring the origins of Super Mario Bros. music, which featured "Summer Breeze" by Piper as the Star power theme inspiration. I went to find that song to hear the whole thing, Plastic Love was in the suggestions bar, and it's been off to the races ever since
Plastic love and 4:00AM turned my world upside down and I'm so grateful.

Imagine cruising down the Japanese countryside to this track in a 1980's Toyota.
CrystalFissure or walking down Shinjuku or ginza streets at night omg
That'll be me in December :)

This music just makes me feel like i’m in love man, i just wish it was on spotify ;-;
Oh my God. Her vocals. The way she sings. So soulful and raw!
imagine being japanese business man on the top floor of ur building overlooking the purple-orange sunset with the wind breeze on your face, and a mixed drink on your right hand, with this song in the back
Hmm
One of my favorite city pop songs
Rest in peace Junko Ohashi :(
I don't know why, but every city pop song i've heard until now gives me really nostalgic vibes from a time i didn't even get to experience, I don't even get a single sentence beyond the ones in english, and still the few songs i've heard manage to push that feeling into my heart...
It’s the power of music man. No other media can set a tone and setting like it.
Same
they all feel like summer music for whatever reason, calling back to late nights as kids in the country side. Still live here so its nice.
If you can't go to japan play Shenmue and the Yakuza games, Shenmue and Yakuza 0 are set in the late 80s, Japan obviously
Yes broth!
I'm Japanese. This is really 「What 'Cha Gonna Do For Me」. in '70～'80's, Many Japanese people respected American sound and life style.

Lyrics
Nigiyakana gekijō zawameku robī
A bustling theater, a noisy lobby
Yokogiru kowashi i kao
Familiar faces pass me by
Tokei ito iriguchi o kōgo ni mite wa
Looking between the clock and the entrance
Dareka o matte iru no ne
Waiting for somebody
Furimuite kigatsuite
Turning around I realize
Imademo, I love you so
Still, I love you so
Mōichido chansu o ataete
Please give me another chance
Kon'ya no konsāto anata ni aeru
I'm meeting you at tonight's concert
Yūkiwodashite kitanoni
Even though I brought along some courage
Suikake no tabako mo hai ni naru dake
I'm just smoking a cigarette, the tobacco turning to ash
Shisen wa anata o ou no
Gazing after you
Furimuite kigatsuite
Turning around I realize
Kii te yo, I need you so
Listen, I need you so
Omokage ga ima mo tsukimatō
You're still on my mind
Kake daseba soto wa ame
If I run out into the rain
Kono mama ja kaerenai. Oh.
It won't be to go home
Kakeyotte dakishimete
I'll run to you and hug you tight
Kii te yo, I need you so
Listen, I need you so
Kokorokara anatagahoshī no
With all my heart, I want you
Furimuite kigatsuite
Turning around I realize
Imademo, I love you so
Still, I love you so
Mōichido chansu o ataete
Please give me another chance
Thank you!~ ^_^

The side of a face I knew long ago
Looking at the time and the entrance
You're waiting for someone
Turning around
Noticing
Even now I love you so
Give me just one more chance
At tonight's concert
I can meet you again
And even though I mustered my courage
There's only ashes left of my cigarette
My eyes still searching for you
Turning around
Noticing
Listen! I love you so
Now our faces meet
I chased you, outside was rain
But I can't go home like this
Running up to you
Holding you close
Listen! I love you so
My heart only wants you
Turning around
Noticing
Even now I love you so
Give me just one more chance

Man! What a cool album cover! I can't wait to go to New York and see it in person!
😟
☹
Good delivery 😅
Said someone in 1984
9/11 XD
RIP Junko Ohashi 💜
I love how I began to listen to city pop to feel nostalgic for times I never had, but now that’s it been so long since I’ve discovered it, I legitimately just feel normal nostalgia now. This doesn’t remind me of times I never had anymore, it reminds me of my younger self now.
the twin towers in the background add to the beauty.
it's WTC right? before the 9/11 tragedy
correct
17 years prior to the 9/11
and just over a year until it's been 17 years since
I like it because it adds nostalgia to the song.
Dude, I didn't know she died recently. I began listening to her music at the start of November 😭
Me too life is too damn short 😭
yung kage, yumi, and isaacwhy - I LOVE YOU SO. they killed this sample
This song itself sampled from an American called Chaka Khan. Chaka Khans "whatcha gonna do for me". A lot of citypop is just Amercican funk/soul.
YESSS

I thought I was the only one!😅

Thank you, i've been looking to sing along
Junko Ohashi é um sentimento. Todo seu talento e voz poderosa irão deixar falta 😢❤ Rainha do Citypop, descanse em paz!
i'm here from yung kage and i'm so happy. this is such a good song.
yuh
I had to watch a video in engineering class explaining "why the World Trade Center went down" and the mechanics behind it. Breaks my heart. It's an engineering marvel that one civil engineer in a million gets a chance to create. Shame a beautiful masterpiece went down like that.
This song and album picture makes me feel like I'm in the 80s, when the World Trade Center stood tall in the New York skyline.
Link to the video or explanation?
@@isaiah8988 ruclips.net/video/SIVM_vEoFXc/видео.html
this one is definitely Junko's magnum opus, literally never get tired of listening to it, especially 2:14 onwards, used to go to school "trying" to sing that part lol

This cover is such a vibe... really blows me away
I remember listening to this at a smokey jazz bar in Tokoyo during the summer of 85. I met a girl named Kiki, she was the cutest Japanese girl I've ever met in my life. We hit the town, went to an arcade, ate amazing ramen, and enjoyed the amazing Japanese scenery. She then asked if I wanted to go to her apartment and before I could answer, I woke up.
Had me in the first half not gonna lie
brother cmon why u gotta get me exited for u like that
Ya didn't put an apostrophe at the beginning of '85, thats what got me being suspicious
It's a true story, I was the bar
@@wodsondasilva8664 can confirm, I was the ramen
한국의 팬입니다. 좋은 노래 많이 남겨주셔서 감사합니다
I swear japan was just cranking out a crazy amount of funky hits for a whole decade. Very high production value and they understand the art they're performing... so genius shout out to the performers!
I cant believe... she died one week ago. This song is even more bittersweet than it already have been.
I’ve begun to listen this type of music because of Plastic Love. I didn’t notice I liked the japanese music. Just love it. Thanks, RUclips.
It's like falling in love ,I got addicted two years back and I still am.
City pop will stay with me for life

I've listened to this song while watching the sun set over the NYC skyline. I love this song as a Japanese New Yorker!
Suddenly I woke up one morning and I realised that I needed more 80s Japanese music in my life. It was a good morning.
I hope you like it.

I love the seamless transition from vocal to saxophone!
Rest in peace Junko, your artistry will live forever
日本の経済がイケイケな時代。
人、物、金が潤沢にあり、心にも余裕があった。
そして、このような素晴らしい音楽が生まれた。
この時代は、音楽に限らず服、クルマの品質が高いものが多い。
Ya Bro Japan was way before developed than the whole world. Not even America is close to you guys. How many things Japanese people give to this world.
The original had over 200,000 views, shame they took it down.
Always happens with japanese music
doesnt really matter. It got claimed by the owners of the music. Im 100% ok with that just as long as it can stay up
Because the Japanese studios are fucking ASSHOLES when it comes to old school music and take down EVERYTHING.
what are you 100% okay with at that point?...
Geoff Smith Really. Your okay with it as long as it stays up? Then you shouldn't be okay with them taking it down......this is contradictive logic of the next level.
No clue why this was recommended to me but imma ride with it
Descansa en paz Junko Ohashi 🤍
This vid finally reached 10 million views! An amazing song like this deserves it.
I agree. I like love this song
I think it deserves even more views
Rest In Peace Junko Ohashi 🇧🇷🇯🇵❤️
Junko will live in our hearths forever
Her voice perfectly captures the emotion displayed in the lyrics and matches the musical tone so well. Quickly becoming one of my favorite singers.
I remembered something i read on the original post of this song it said something like "imagine driving on a bridge on your car listening to this while the sun is just coming out and you feel the fresh air on your face" i feel it everytime
Necesitamos más música con sentimiento en el mundo...
One of my favorite tracks of all time. i've been listening to this album since I was like 13. Time sure flies, huh?

I swear the basslines from Japanese artists in the 80's completely nailed the simplicity is key aspect of Bass. Such unbelievably clean, easy to follow basslines. So good.
This song is so fire.
Just like the twin tower

Me: Worth it.
Sorry if I'm bothering you but I have in Discord a community where we discuss and talk about Japanese music join if you're interested discord.gg/neWh8ve
Can confirm it, i found out about City Pop back in July and since then RUclips has been recommending me more and more of it.
Not that i'm complaining 😎😏🤗
"This song is simply amazing! I can't help but feel so happy and upbeat whenever I listen to Junko Ohashi's "I Love You So". The catchy tune, combined with her sweet and infectious vocals, just gets me moving and singing along every time. The lyrics are so simple and sincere, and they really hit home for me, reminding me of the beauty of true love. Overall, this song is definitely one of my all-time favorites, and I can't get enough of it. Thank you, Junko Ohashi, for sharing your talent and creating such a timeless classic!"
these japanese songs will never die trust me! see you on year 2050!
A queen then, a queen forever. Long live Junko Ohashi 💋❤️
I need to remind everyone that Junko Ohashi sang probably the best electro funk song from the 80s: "Dancin"....give it a go and you will adore it.
We owe to ourselves to learn Japanese at this point.
City pop is literally main reason I wanna learn japanese now

rest in peace junko ohashi
I feel broken, this song and Telephone Number got me into the genre :( May she rest easy 💔
@@wormykarma02 same here. she was one of my first introductions to city pop and older japanese music several years ago :(
I love Ohashi Junko's soulful vocal so much! And this tune is just sublime.
I think this song was inspired by Chaka Khan’s “What You Gonna Do For Me”. They sound very similar. Both bops nonetheless
It was inspired by chaka khan 100%. actually the entire city pop genre is inspired from RnB, soul, funk, jazz fusion and disco as well as some other genres. Its really cool to me how even when im not listening to music from black people, Im listening to music inspired by black people. Its funny how black people had a inspiration for Japanese people and later on the reverse happened.
not even inspired, it’s almost a carbon copy😭
@@IsaUrameshi Lol. We style the world.
@@guywithglasses3114 "What you gonna do for me", covered by Chaka Khan/1981 was originally recorded by AWB/1980 - written by Hamish Stuart and Ned Doheny.
why do people find it so surprising that the album cover is the old world trade centre? i mean no wonder people would take pictures of it its new york and it was also quite the pretty place.
the bass line hit me like a sack of toddlers
hmmmm.....
should i be concerned?
dehlicertified no
Cursed comment
I beg your pardon
I tried searching the album online and couldn't find it anywhere, seems rare as fuck lol.
Azer Co. this specific album isn't available for download there. I've already checked and asked numerous places for a link to the full album. the closest I'd be able to get with listening to the full thing is if I were to buy the vinyl for 260 dollars on discogs :(
This album was only ever available on vinyl, and it is rare, $100 in Japan. 10/12 of the songs are on other albums, Tasogare and Tea for Tears, which are available on the website linked above.
You can also find a ton of her stuff on Apple Music Japan, you can get a subscription even without being in Japan.
some way to find this song or telephone number in another album?
Well, it's hard to find even on streaming apps like spotify. It kinda amazes me considering how good this sounds, it's a shame it's no easily available.
I was looking for this song I found it about 7 years ago I couldn’t remember the name. I typed in Japanese fusion, and followed the related videos until the algorithm synchronized with me. All before an add popped up, and I’m smoking meats on oxtail Wednesday. Miracles do happen. Stay hard.
The Japanese funk songs are really underrated, I wish more people listen this type of music :(
Matsubara Miki's song Stay With Me went really tiktok famous and got #1 trending song on lots of music streaming services. Tons of people are listening to city pop now.
I got into it because of sampling music. I listen to the tracks normally before thinking abt samples, and Japanese city pop is a genre that stuck with me after this song specifically. This song is definitely one i think abt alot lmao
Funk as a whole is underrated
It’s really popular rn in internet circles
I used to listen straight right after I’d finished studying for my GCSEs in the stuffy library all day, good memories of letting the first breath of fresh air of the day hit lol
ボーカルが素晴らしい。本物の才能です！
Si llegas a leer esto quiero que sepas que te amo, aunque no nos conozcamos y seguramente nunca nos veremos en persona, ¡Yo te amo! Sólo porque compartimos este momento, este planeta y esta canción.
Descansa en paz Querida Junko.

Rest in peace , my dear Junko
The bass on this is CRAZY 👏🏾🔥🎸
Broo this week ive been hooked by these retro japanese songs for too many times and I hope they'll keep coming
