Following the success of his book “You’ll Understand the Basics of City Pop with These 100 Records!” (published by Seikaisha Shinsho), which has gone through multiple reprints, music writer Hitoshi Kurimoto, known for his appearances on TV and radio, presents a carefully curated compilation series: “CROSSOVER CITY” (Victor Edition) on vinyl. Focusing on tracks released between the late 1970s and 1980s, the selection spans from major artists beloved by music fans—such as Terumasa Hino and Sadao Watanabe—to hidden gems. Rather than sticking to well-known hits or signature songs, Kurimoto selects tracks that feel fresh and relevant today, appealing to city pop fans and collectors of Japanese grooves. The album jacket features original artwork by Stereotennis, known for their popular 80s-inspired graphic design. Curated, supervised, and annotated by Hitoshi Kurimoto.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSend Me Your Feelings／Terumasa Hino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVirginity／Natsuko Kyono\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransparency／Issei Noro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAqua Blue／KANGAROO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAkaimichi ga Hashirukuni／Nobuo Yagi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMisty Morning／Keiichi Oku\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHunt Up Wind／Hiroshi Hukumura\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShining Guitar／Kazumasa Akiyama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSouthern Dream／You \u0026amp; Explosion Band (1983)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"2xLP","offer_id":44098910355571,"sku":null,"price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/Screenshot2025-11-20at5.49.22PM.png?v=1763682572","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/va-crossover-city-misty-morning","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
