Yasuyuki Okamura crafts dance pop that's equally effective on the floor and in the headphones. Since the ‘80s, the Japanese singer/songwriter has embraced synth-centered pop that's perfect for a night on the town, glazing exuberant cuts like “Super Girl” and “Young oh!oh!” with unpredictable vocal flourishes. Over time, he's ventured even further afield, introducing brass sections, children's choirs, and digitized percussion. Like Toshinobu Kubota or Prince, this is an artist who knows how to make a catchy pop song sound avant-garde.
