Yuji Dan - "Weekend" (7") Vinyl | CITY POP on VINYL 2024 Exclusive

Let’s talk about the history. Yuji Dan, the legendary singer-songwriter who made waves during Record Store Day 2024 with the reissue of his iconic Town & Country single, is back with another gem. His 1981 masterpiece "Weekend", a long-lost treasure of Japanese city pop, has been reissued on 7-inch vinyl for the first time. This is your chance to own a slice of music history!

Why This Vinyl is Special:

The A-side, "Weekend", is a luxurious blend of city pop and light mellow grooves, arranged by the renowned jazz pianist, composer, and arranger Keitaro Miho. If his name rings a bell, it’s because he’s the genius behind the Kokezaru Suite and the theme music for 11PM. This track is pure magic—a perfect summer soundtrack dripping with smooth vibes and sophisticated melodies.

And don’t sleep on the B-side, "時の彼方へ" (Toki no Kanata e). It’s a dreamy and timeless track that complements the A-side beautifully, making this release a complete package for city pop enthusiasts.

Side A:

1. Weekend

Side B:
