Why Nagai matters to City Pop fans
Hiroshi Nagai is one of the key figures who shaped the visual identity of City Pop. His signature imagery — sun-drenched pools, coastlines, and glowing 1980s Japanese summer scenes — has long been reused across countless record covers and related visuals.
Titled "Summer Dreaming," the exhibition invites visitors into his world of sunlight and swimming pools. The organizers have not yet released a full list of works to be shown.
