Is it J-POP or K-POP? City Pop “Seoul Lady(서울여자)” by Yukika
There are several genres of Music such as Dance, Jazz, Rock, Ballad and so on. However, City Pop is a bit new for us. Here we are going to see what the CITY POP is.
“What is City Pop?”
It is a musical keynote that was popular in Japan during the economic growth of the 70s and 80s. It has urban and sophisticated feeling. It expresses an optimistic and romantic atmosphere passing the past economic growth period in Japan.
It is a bit hard to explain the genre in text. However, when you listen to the song, you might think that this is called city pop. Generally, the songs are about urban life, especially developed, sophisticated and cool urban lifestyle.
“Yukika’s Seoul Lady(서울여자) in City Pop”
Yukika is Japanese artist, however, she is performing in Korea. And Also sings in Korean as well. So, I am not sure what to say for this song.
Should it be called J-POP or K-POP? A singer comes from Japan, and the song was composed in Japanese style. However, the singer sings the song in Korean.
A bit difficult to say, however, this song is #1 on KPOP category on iTunes. So, I might need to call this, K-POP.
