Description
JUNK FUJIYAMA is leading the current city pop scene!
In March 2024, they released their first full-length album, "憧憬都市 City Pop Covers". Following that, they released the digital single "Wonder History" on February 19, following "夏のマーメイド" and "Tokyo highway disco drive".
The new song is a groovy track featuring an expansive voice, an emotional atmosphere, and an addictive 80s-style uplifting synth riff. It was provided by Ryuta Sakamoto, a producer, arranger, and bassist known as Suga Shikao's bandmaster, who has also worked on JUNK's popular songs such as "あの空の向こうがわへ", "To The Sky", and "風になり".
The lyrics and track production were handled by sound creator Itsuki Kamiya of island etc., with whom they have been teaming up in recent years. A music video vividly depicting positive emotions was also released.
The new album delivers contemporary city pop by blending a catchy 80s feel as the core of the sound with impressive melodies, a pop and happy sound, and an emotional, expansive voice.
