For me, it was Mariya smiling at me from the thumbnail with the title “Plastic Love” back in 2017. I’m probably not alone with this story but I’d love to read your stories of your intro to city pop.

There’s a pretty important and very personal story I have tied to my “discovery” of him and city pop as a whole, so I hate to imagine how things would’ve turned out if that story happened now when it’s a struggle to find him on YouTube. I know I wouldn’t have really tried anywhere else at that time. 😅 It’d be nice to have a physical collection one day, so I can see what all the hype’s about. 😂
