City Pop Suno Prompt Generator

1980s Japanese-influenced pop-funk: DX7 electric piano, slap bass, lush arrangements, and effortlessly smooth vocals. The sound of a Tokyo night drive: crystalline production, major-seventh chords, and a chorus that never strains. Modern revival includes future funk and vaporwave-adjacent aesthetics.
