When it shows "Midnight Pretenders", it's actually playing "All or Nothing", by Takako Mamiya.
Ah you’re right, good spot, my bad!

What's the title of the music at timestamp 7:31?
It’s asayake but a special live version 1985.
How far away from Yacht Rock is City pop?
Someone help me out here please :

You switched Midnight Pretenders with All or Nothing
Why’s this channel tiny
It’s not a musical genre, it’s a category that people made up, the label itself did not emerge from the 70s/80s. And Takanaka is not “city pop”
Ehh I hear more of a funk, R&B, jazz, boogie
element more than a soft rock feel or anything else in my opinion.
