This week on Krewe of Japan Podcast...  What is city pop? With guest host Andre deLaneuville, the Krewe explores the musical genre that has had a renaissance over the last decade (even more so within the last 4-5 years). After talking through individual experiences with this feel good style of music, Andre & Doug dive into a conversation with former city pop idol & woman of many talents, Yu Hayami, to discuss what city pop means to her, as well as her music career that began during peak city pop era. From music industry behind-the-scenes tales to conversations about cultural identity & details about her upcoming 40th anniversary album release... we got it all (and more!) right here on this episode of Krewe of Japan Podcast!------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.
