Beneath the soft vocal image, the album has mellow synth touches, light rhythm movement, and a strong kayō groove that should appeal to listeners digging beyond the obvious city-pop records. It is not straight city pop, but the sound often lands in a very good place between Japanese pop, mellow groove, and late-70s studio arrangement. A quiet but very rewarding pick for groove-minded collectors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NMtm1c1-PqI?si=jAZRgFY5m58tacax\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xgABefgIjEI?si=FNftx__rS3A-uoOv\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U_p9UJ1_JBY?si=KGEvUTDUhT4RPG2b\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RECORD MONSTER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43113559785681,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/9413\/0641\/files\/IMG_5171.jpg?v=1780058684","url":"https:\/\/www.recordmonster.net\/products\/hiromi-kanda-machibouke","provider":"RECORD MONSTER","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
