SYNOPSIS
Led by guitarist and singer Fujimaru Yoshino, BGM is a smooth slice of early-80s Japanese groove. Blending city pop polish with funk and AOR touches, the record shines with slick guitar work, breezy vocals, and laid-back rhythms perfect for late-night drives. A hidden gem of the era, it captures the mellow yet sophisticated vibe that defined Japan’s urban soundscape in the early ’80s.
