Light In The Attic's Pacific Breeze series has long been a go - to for Japanese music lovers. It offers a carefully selected collection of top - notch City Pop recordings from the '70s - '80s Japanese bubble era, which includes AOR, R&B, jazz fusion, funk, boogie, and disco. Pacific Breeze 3, covering 1975 - 1987, is the latest in this famous series, featuring rare gems. The appearance of Pizzicato Five shows the start of Shibuya - kei, and the influence of hip - hop and electro is clear in tracks like Miho Fujiwara's 'Heartbeat'. This volume is female - centric, with many tracks sung by well - known Japanese actresses and pop idols. You'll find techno - pop classics from Susan, Miharu Koshi, and Chiemi Manabe, alongside great funk from Atsuko Nina and Naomi Akimoto. Teresa Noda adds a sexy reggae touch. The genre range is wide, including jazz fusion from Parachute and Hiroyuki Namba, a synth fantasy from Osamu Shoji, and catchy pop from Makoto Matsushita and Chu Kosaka.

It has remastered audio, a custom die - cut obi strip, full - color printed inner sleeves, extensive liner notes, and artist bios.
