So I've been a professional DJ going on 25 years, and I've been spinning City Pop for about 5-6 years now in the SF bay area. And I just have to say, it's been really pleasant watching the general populace of the Western world go from hearing this music and scratching their heads in confusion, to hearing it and getting as excited as we fans do about it!

I've been gently working it into my sets at various venues, from bars to restaurants all over the bay area, and only in the past year have I noticed a whole new interest in it. People will run up and want to know what that cool song was? People will sing along with some of the more popular tracks. These are people I'm pretty sure don't speak Japanese either. And I'm not talking about events like my party Tokyo '88, where we are specifically advertising City Pop. I just mean random venues, with random people attending!

I'm curious if you've noticed a new interest in your region too?

City Pop forever!

Mods, delete as necessary; just looking out for people with this.

A serial scammer, Substantial-Toe-8110, was recently spotted making a post in this subreddit:

When called out, he is likely to block everyone and delete everything to cover his tracks. He is then likely to repost and claim his previous post was removed "by the Reddit filter" to downplay suspicion that his post suddenly disappeared.

He stole the pictures for his scam from here:

As you can see, he is a notorious, habitual scammer:

Be careful!

I have reported him to the sub mods, but he has me blocked so I can't report him to Reddit admins. Encouraging any of you readers to do so violates Reddiquette but hopefully you will decide on your own that it's something you want to do.
