Hello Heat Rockers! This is Producer Christian, I edited Heat Rocks and you might've heard my voice on a few episodes with Oliver and Morgan! So we've been working on a new music podcast here on Maximum Fun and I'm so excited to finally share it with you! Primer focuses on genres of music from outside the English-speaking world. This first season we're talking about Japanese City Pop and I will be hosting alongside Yosuke Kitazawa.If you like what you hear, <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/primer/id1744967324">please subscribe to Primer</a>! I think you're really gonna love what we've made here. :) On November 5th, 1979, Miki Matsubara’s debut pop single “Mayonaka no Door/ Stay with Me” was released in her home country of Japan. It was a huge hit and remained her biggest and most beloved work throughout her entire career. Over 40 years after its original release, it soared in popularity once again when a whole new international audience discovered the song through TikTok. Its catchy hook and incredible vocals still resonate with listeners today and has become a staple in the City Pop genre. If you’ve heard one City Pop song, it’s probably Stay with Me.On our inaugural episode of Primer, radio/tv presenter  Linda Marigliano joins us to discuss City Pop icon, Miki Matsubara and her debut record, Pocket Park.  We get into the unexpected renewed interest in Mayonaka no Door, the story behind Miki’s sudden departure from the music scene, and Linda’s personal connection and discovery of City Pop.Check out our <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0y1jKvocKFx7HB59qflW6U?si=a6839f1f7906404f">Spotify playlist</a> for this episode!Follow Linda: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lindamarigliano/">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://x.com/lindamarigliano">Twitter </a>| <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/linda-mariglianos-tough-love/id1546324192">Tough Love</a> | <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/love-language-a-memoir-of-family-music-and-pasta-linda-marigliano/20696745?ean=9781761065972">Love Language</a>Follow Primer: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/primerpod">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://x.com/primer_pod">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@primerpod">TikTok</a>
