Tokyo 1986, 1 P.M. — Ginkgo Avenue, One Roll of Film | 80s Japanese City Pop

昼の散歩のシティポップ。1986年11月30日（日）、東京・神宮外苑の銀杏並木を24枚撮りのフィルム一本を持って歩く、12時30分から16時50分までの15曲のプレイリストです。 80s Japanese city pop for an autumn afternoon walk: a playlist that follows a 24-year-old office worker down the ginkgo avenue at Jingu Gaien in Tokyo, from 12:30 to 4:50 p.m. on Sunday, November 30, 1986, with one borrowed roll of film and 24 frames to spend. She comes up the subway stairs onto a street already gold with ginkgo leaves, and at 12:50 she loads the roll into her brother's old camera and decides to count every frame. At ten past one she stands at the start of the avenue and looks up at the yellow ceiling. Leaves crunch underfoot, a baked sweet potato seller's call drifts in from somewhere far away, and the smell of fallen ginkgo nuts makes her laugh. In the wide square a father and his small child play catch, their breath white in the cold. At the end of the avenue she stops in front of the picture gallery and takes one careful shot. She pulls off a glove to focus with cold fingers, a patch of blue opens between the branches for a minute, and a north wind throws the leaves into the air. Her shadow stretches along the path, she counts the frames she has left while the light goes, and when the street lamps come on she takes the last picture and winds the film back. The sound runs from an easy strolling opener to bossa-tinged pop, golden soft soul, a light shuffle, a wistful clarinet slow jam, quirky pop funk, brisk pop-rock for the playground, a stately horn ballad, crisp dance pop, airy dream pop, breezy folk-pop, a Hammond soul ballad for the long shadows, sunset mid-tempo fusion, soft disco under the lamps, and a quiet piano closer. About this playlist: 15 original Japanese city pop songs sung by a female Japanese vocalist, about 59 and a half minutes long and played twice, so the whole video runs 1 hour 59 minutes. Each song is one moment of the same Sunday afternoon, from the subway exit at 12:30 to the last frame at 4:50 p.m., so it plays as one continuous walk. For autumn walks, a slow Sunday afternoon, reading, studying, or any quiet stretch of the day that needs a gold-leaf soundtrack. 15 songs, and then the whole walk once more. 最後に写真を撮ったのは、いつですか？そのとき、何が写っていましたか。 When did you last take a photo with film?

The pictures are AI-generated anime-style illustrations, not photographs or archival footage, and they are not accurate depictions of the actual avenue. The date and the weather are real: the Japan Meteorological Agency recorded a cloudy, rain-free day in Tokyo on November 30, 1986, with a high of 10.0 °C. The office worker and her story are fiction. ※楽曲はAIツールを使ったオリジナル制作です。画像はAIで作ったアニメ調のイラストで、実際の写真や記録映像ではなく、実在の並木道を正確に描いたものでもありません。1986年11月30日の東京が曇りで雨はなく、最高気温が10.0℃だったのは気象庁の記録どおりですが、会社員と物語はフィクションです。 #citypop #シティポップ #autumnplaylist #japanesecitypop #銀杏並木 #LTLO
