First of all, I want to make something clear:

CITYPOP is not a so-called "genre" of music.

In other words, CITYPOP is a term that describes the vibe and ​groove of its music.

To prove this, CITYPOP is a mixture of various styles, ​including AOR, Yacht Rock, Soft Rock, Boogie, Soul, Disco, ​Funk, Jazz, Fusion (crossover), Techno, Bossa Nova, Samba, ​and many other genres from around the world.

And now, I believe people all over the world are enjoying ​CITYPOP, a fusion of diverse music from across the globe and ​Japan's unique KAYO-POP.

There are two main environments for city pop vibes

The two are City/Urban and Ocean/Resort

However, the imagery of those songs is vibes and grooves, not ​that they are about cities or resorts

Example.

City/Urban vibes songs like Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love, ​Takako Mamiya - LOVE TRIP, etc

Example.

Ocean/Resort vibes songs like TatsuroYamashita - Sparkle, Piper ​- Summer Breeze, etc

City Pop Vibes also has two environments by time zone.

The two are Night and Day

Example.

Night vibes songs like Miki Matsubara -“Mayonaka no Door” -stay ​with me

, Tomoko Aran - Midnight Pretenders, etc

Example.

Day vibes songs like Taeko Ohnuki - Summer Connection, ANRI - ​Windy Summer, etc

And in addition to day and night, there is another time of day in ​the City Pop Vibes time zone classification

Those times are dawn and dusk, the twilight zone

Example.

twilight zone vibes songs like TatsuroYamashita -Morning Glory, ​Junko Yagami - “Tasogare no Bay City”, etc
