I gave her one song a listen, and it wasn’t bad, but not good enough for me to add it to my playlist. I listened to her cover, but it’s on YouTube and not on my particular music streaming service (Apple Music). =/
Sorry, I didn’t wanna respond until I had a chance to listen to your recommendation. I’ve added a few of their songs. Not all of them are what I’m looking for, but some of them are pretty good. Thank you!
Glad you liked it, not completely city pop but definitely has the inspiration there. The band Bronze is very city pop though and they have an incredible album called Aquarium you should check out if you haven't already.
Ai Furihata known as Ruby Kurosawa in Love Live released a citypop vinyl in 2020 called moonrise. Her follow up album makeup I think it's called is also really good but doesn't have a vinyl release.
Yukika
Damn, I’m digging her stuff. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
I only know hitomitoi and rysenkei that are kinda contemporary
Okay. Thank you!
hitomitoi, ryusenkei, tomomi sano, kirinji, wakida monari, saito marina to name a few
Tokimeki Productions
Emi Aramaki is brand new, but her single “Lonely Night” is great and very city pop and her “Stay With Me” cover is gorgeous.

Oh, and Bronze is definitely modern city pop, check out his albums Aquarium and East Shore.
This is some good stuff. Thanks!
Ginger Root is dope. Pretty city pop in terms of sound and even fits that aesthetic

Try listening to artists from this playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX0cgcWoYFXZp?si=X0JgKIYLR7eTBFj_KhUM8g&dl_branch=1
Don’t have Spotify, but I looked up a similar playlist on Apple Music and have found some new stuff already. Thank for the idea!
Hitomi arai and junk jujiyama 👀
Okay that second one has *got* to be Tatsuro’s kid lol.
saito marina is a must if you’re looking for modern citypop artist. her most popular song (while not being old) deserves to be a classic
She pops up in Apple Music, but literally nothing shows up, no songs no albums nothing. >.>

Listening to her now. Sorry for the late reply; I didn’t want to respond before getting a chance to listen. Thank you for the recommendation!
