Light Mellow

On 5 October 2019 DJ Tropical Breeze is playing Japanese music all night at Eydies. In celebration I've made two pseudo-City Pop mixes. Light Mellow does what it says, low key tunes for sipping a lemon sour by the (Disney) sea, while First Light takes us into the night, named after the unbeatable Makoto Matsushita song. Some well known City Pop hits among some lesser known 1980s and further-afield songs.
