About this album
Ride On Time is a sleek city pop landmark that helped define Tatsuro Yamashita’s reputation as one of Japan’s most distinctive pop craftsmen. Released in 1980, it fuses polished funk, soul and disco with immaculate vocal harmonies and sunlit melodic writing, turning sophisticated studio pop into something immediate and enduring. The title track became one of Yamashita’s signature songs, while the album’s smooth arrangements and emotional clarity helped cement the city pop sound at a time when Japanese pop was becoming more outward-looking and commercially ambitious. Its lasting appeal lies in the balance of craft, warmth and effortless musical detail.
