Introducing Primer, MaxFun’s Newest Music Podcast
<p>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.</p><p>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. :) </p><p>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.</p><p>On our inaugural episode of Primer, radio/tv presenter Linda Marigliano joins us to discuss City Pop icon, Miki Matsubara and her debut record, <i>Pocket Park</i>. 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.</p><p>Check out our <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0y1jKvocKFx7HB59qflW6U?si=a6839f1f7906404f">Spotify playlist</a> for this episode!</p><p>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></p><p>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></p>
