ABSTRACT

Osaka and Hong Kong China occupy a significant role in the Asian music environment, exemplifying music's capacity to transcend boundaries and connect cultures. By fostering international cooperation, employing technology, and hosting global music events, Osaka and Hong Kong China can reinforce their status as cultural centers. The revival of City Pop exceeds common nostalgia. Rather, it is a commemoration of music's capacity to unite people, inspire creativity, and capture the spirit of urban life.
