Kimagure Orange☆Road = きまぐれオレンジ☆ロード (Loving Heart)

This delightful collection from the long-running classic love triangle comedy (between a saxophone-playing bad ass, a perky airhead, and an overconfident guy with telekinetic powers) serves as the perfect example of “city pop,” a synthpop offshoot in Japan named that because it was meant to appeal to the young urban professionals that flocked to the cities during the country’s economic boom. The cheap electronic backing sounds (usually provided by cutting-edge Casio keyboards) and EXTREMELY EIGHTIES feel has made the genre popular amongst Bandcampers, but whether you’re young, urban, professional, or none of the above, the cheesy pop hooks always please.
