Some of yall might be familiar with that City Pop trend that happened a few years back. City Pop became popular in part because it gave people a sense of "false nostalgia". You had kids born in the mid-2000s listening to City Pop playlists on YouTube and reported feeling like they were transported back to Tokyo circa 1983.
Part of that "false nostalgia" is because City Pop takes elements from Soul, R&B, Disco, Post-Disco, New Wave, Adult Orient Rock, Soft Rock and towards the late 80s, early 90s New Jack Swing and blends it all together. So when you listen to it, you get familiar sounds from people you never heard before, singing songs in languages you don't speak.
There is something similar with these songs but the human element that is present in Japanese City Pop is not there and it's quite noticeable, it's almost like an uncanny valley for audio.
