Japanese city pop is being rediscovered around the world, and EPO, one of the genre's most celebrated singers, captures everything that makes this music so loved across borders and generations in this special performance. Joining her are Shimizu Nobuyuki, the legendary arranger and keyboardist who shaped city pop's golden age; Sahashi Yoshiyuki, a top-tier guitarist behind countless classic tracks; and GOOD BYE APRIL, a four-piece band giving city pop a fresh, modern edge. Together, they make for a one-of-a-kind collaboration that spans generations. The setlist is packed with hits beloved worldwide: the infectious groove of Down Town, the pure weekend energy of Saturday Night Paradise, and the feel-good pop anthem U-fu-fu-fu. EPO's clear, radiant voice blends with the rich musicianship of veteran and young artists alike, filling the intimate tiny desk space with sound. This isn't just a trip down memory lane—it's city pop alive and evolving in the present. See for yourself why music that once defined Japan's urban culture is now winning over listeners everywhere.
