<p>Tel Liyanto wasn't alive during Japan's 1980s boom, but she loves the "timeless" City Pop hits of the era, now going viral thanks to a new generation of young, international fans.</p>

<p>The glamorous soundtrack that accompanied the country's economic miracle is exploding in popularity decades after its upbeat synths, influenced by soft rock, boogie and soul, first hit the airwaves.</p>

<p>The retro genre is so hot that Canadian star The Weeknd sampled the 1983 track "Midnight Pretenders" on his latest release, and record companies are racing to reissue long-forgotten City Pop vinyl.</p>

<p>"It's like disco: a nostalgic sound, but also modern," said Liyanto, a 27-year-old from Indonesia who works for a creative agency, as she danced to City Pop in a Tokyo bar.</p>

<p>"I listen to it when I'm dancing, I listen to it when I'm chilling," she told AFP.</p>

<p>From its origins in niche online music circles, the revival was amplified by YouTube's algorithm, which detects when a song is being liked and shared and recommends it worldwide.</p>

<p>The most popular tracks, like Mariya Takeuchi's "Plastic Love", have tens of millions of views on YouTube.</p>

<p>The song's funk bassline and flamboyant brass have the optimistic vibe of "Club Tropicana" by Wham! -- but the soaring Japanese vocals tell another story.</p>

<p>"Since the day I was heartbroken, I've been living life with day and night reversed," Takeuchi sings in the track that commenters call a "hidden gem".</p>

<p>"Why am I suddenly listening to Japanese 80s pop? And why is it so good?" wrote one.</p>

<p>- Fresh, but familiar -</p>

<p>Kei Notoya, a 33-year-old DJ, was hooked by City Pop the first time he heard it at a university party.</p>

<p>He has since collected around 3,000 records, some of which sell out in seconds from his online shop Tokyo Condition.</p>

<p>"Japanese music back then copied a lot of American rock, soul, R&amp;B," he told AFP. "It sounds fresh, but at the same time, familiar."</p>

<p>"People who weren't born can feel the energy, the atmosphere of the 80s and 70s by listening to these songs."</p>

<p>The buzz has prompted Japanese record companies to upload more of their back catalogue onto streaming services.</p>

<p>But the huge number of "slept-on" songs -- ignored for many years, but recently unearthed by music lovers -- keeps interest in the genre alive, Notoya said.</p>

<p>He boasts of "new finds every week" in second-hand record shops, and released the compilation "Tokyo Glow" in December.</p>

<p>The Weeknd's sample of Tomoko Aran's hit on his new track "Out of Time" is "the most mainstream example of any Japanese older music being introduced to a wider audience", said Patrick St Michel, a Japan-based music writer.</p>

<p>"Midnight Pretenders" was reissued on vinyl last year along with other City Pop favourites including "Plastic Love", which has also been refreshed with a modern-day music video by record label Warner Japan.</p>

<p>- 'Not pure hedonism' -</p>

<p>Gary Ieong, the co-owner of White Noise Records in Hong Kong, said that while fans prefer hunting for original City Pop presses, the "Plastic Love" reissue has been "really popular" in his shop.</p>

<p>Young people who listen to the song on YouTube want to buy the reissue "as a souvenir, or for the artwork", he told AFP.</p>

<p>The music is also popular on TikTok, where fans match their favourite tracks to anime-style sunset illustrations or dance along in 80s clothes.</p>

<p>But beyond cheesy fun, new listeners are also drawn to City Pop by the "element of melancholy lurking within," said St Michel.</p>

<p>"That's something that creeps through all the City Pop songs and gains them virality. There's something sad about it too -- it's not pure hedonism."</p>

<p>Nothing lasts forever though, and early trendsetters who started getting into City Pop online in the 2010s are already moving on, St Michel said.</p>

<p>They have "already kind of said clearly, 'it's already over for us, we're moving on to the 90s'."</p>

<p>"It's like a race to find what internet crowds will be into. But they're the ones to decide," he added.</p>

<p>"That's the beauty of it."</p>

<p>Textile prices, like many raw materials, are soaring on resurgent post-pandemic demand and the rocketing cost of both energy and transport, industry experts say.</p>

<p>Cotton, linen, silk and wool, as well as synthetic materials derived from petroleum, faced surging prices in recent months, boosted also by the global supply-chain crunch.</p>

<p>As a result, red-hot inflation is now a major talking point at the industry's London Fashion Week showpiece, which runs until Thursday.</p>

<p>Price hikes represent a new challenge for the industry that has already been stricken by both Brexit and the Covid-19 health emergency.</p>

<p>- 'Impressive cotton surge' -</p>

<p>"The textile and clothing industry noticed an impressive surge in cotton prices," said the European association of textile producers, Euratex, in a statement sent to AFP.</p>

<p>"The restart of activity worldwide in 2021 and the increased demand from the textile industry have accelerated the mechanism of (market) tension on raw materials," it added.</p>

<p>"This has resulted in a shortage, and rising material costs."</p>

<p>Cotton, which had already surged almost 50 percent last year, peaked earlier this month at $1.29 per pound -- reaching a level last seen in 2011.</p>

<p>Organic cotton from key producer India has experienced buoyant demand due to low stockpiles.</p>

<p>The cost of wool and flax linen meanwhile rebounded between September 2020 and June 2021, having declined for almost three years.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/street-styles-neon-kick-off-london-fashion-week-454496" hreflang="en">Street styles, neon kick off London Fashion Week</a></p>

<p>- Impact of 'oil upswing' -</p>

<p>The industry has also been spooked by the sky-high cost of oil.</p>

<p>"The increase in oil prices have affected the prices of synthetic fibres ... as these are produced from petroleum-based chemicals or petrochemicals," Euratex noted.</p>

<p>Oil had threatened to top $100 a barrel last week on simmering tensions between Ukraine and key crude producer Russia.</p>

<p>"The ongoing upswing in oil prices is lending buoyancy because it increases the price of synthetic fibres that compete with cotton," added Commerzbank analyst Carsten Fritsch.</p>

<p>The price of man-made or synthetic fibres -- like acrylics, nylon and polyester -- have shot up.</p>

<p>Textiles also face the same snarled-up supply chains that have plagued economies worldwide.</p>

<p>Retailers and manufacturers will therefore struggle to meet rebounding demand, particularly for cotton, commentators say.</p>

<p>- Logistical headache -</p>

<p>"Demand is strong amid inflation concerns and logistical issues that make it harder for world buyers to source any cotton anywhere," Price Group analyst Jack Scoville told AFP.</p>

<p>Importers and exporters face a huge spike in transport costs, as reopening economies create feverish demand for container shipping.</p>

<p>Rogie Sussman Faber, owner of Chicago area company Vogue Fabrics, told AFP that transportation was their biggest issue.</p>

<p>"Here in the USA, we are more affected by the sharp rise in shipping than the price of the materials," Faber said.</p>

<p>Onward transport from the port of Chicago compounds that heavy burden, mirroring transit problems seen elsewhere.</p>

<p>"Since the onset of Covid, we have experienced a decline in truckers, and the transit companies have raised their prices to cover fuel costs and overtime (and) bonus incentives," noted Faber.</p>

Textiles fan inflation fears amid London Fashion Week

<p>New Sony adventure film "Uncharted" jumped to the top of the North American box office this weekend in the year's biggest opening so far, industry watchers reported Sunday.</p>

<p>The movie starring Tom Holland took in an estimated $44.2 million for the Friday-to-Sunday period and a projection of $51 million when Monday -- a holiday in the US -- is included, Exhibitor Relations said.</p>

<p>Based on a PlayStation video game and faring better among viewers than critics, "Uncharted" features Holland as a bartender-turned-treasure hunter who, along with Mark Wahlberg, goes looking for a fortune allegedly lost by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan 500 years ago.</p>

<p>Another new release, Metro Goldwyn Mayer's buddy comedy "Dog," also enjoyed a healthy debut, scratching up $15.1 million for the three-day period and $18.1 million for four.</p>

<p>Starring and co-directed by Channing Tatum (with Reid Carolin, who wrote the "Magic Mike" movies), "Dog" tells the story of an Army Ranger recovering from a brain injury who agrees to drive Lulu, a dog wounded while working with the army in Afghanistan, to the funeral of her handler.</p>

<p>"Dog," which has been generally well-reviewed, was Tatum's first live-action lead role in five years.</p>

<p>Tom Holland, and Sony, had a particularly good weekend, also grabbing the third spot with the enduring success of blockbuster "Spider-Man: No Way Home."</p>

<p>It took in $7.2 million for three days ($8.8 million for four), and is the third-highest grossing domestic release ever.</p>

<p>Slipping three spots from last weekend, when it topped the box office, was 20th Century's murder mystery "Death on the Nile," based on a 1937 Agatha Christie novel.</p>

<p>Directed by Kenneth Branagh -- who stars as elaborately moustached Belgian detective Hercule Poirot -- it took in $6.3 million for three days ($7.2 million for four). Spoiler alert: the moustache gets a backstory of its own.</p>

<p>And in fifth spot was Paramount's "Jackass Forever," which took in $5.2 million ($6.2 million), slipping from second spot last weekend. The irreverent gross-out comedy stars Johnny Knoxville (a co-producer) and his merry pranksters.</p>

<p>‘The Marvelous Mrs Maisel’ is back with another season. Treading in similar territory, season 4 offers slice-of-life comedy drama as Rachel Brosnahan aka Miriam (or Midge if you prefer) returns to take the mantle as an entertainer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Season 4 of the Amazon Prime Video hit show starts off where it left the previous season, Midge&nbsp;high and dry, fired from her comedy gig with Shy Baldwin after he doesn't like one of her jokes. Frustrated, edging to paranoia, Midge&nbsp;loses her calm as she has money to pay back, her career to lift (as newspapers write her off post the firing news) and a family to run with her chaotic parents, in-laws, ex-husband all being the loud Jewish family that they are!</p>

<p>‘The Marvelous Mrs Maisel’ will make you comfortable with the pace as it takes everything very slow, not packing too much, in every instant of the episodes. But it can leave you wanting for more too if there was a lot you were expecting. Directors Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino don't change much of the scene – the costumes are the same, the story is linear and so is Rachel Brosnahan who is desperate to revive herself and her career from the firing episode as she takes her revenge to stage and vents it out like all other times before. There’s one thing though, she wants to build herself as an independent female comic and not someone who opens shows for bigger and comedians of higher stature in this season.</p>

<p>Rachel Brosnahan as Midge, meanwhile, is acing her act and is true to her form. She’s wittier, bolder in her choices and more lovable than before. It’s an easy watch, something you can pretty much binge-watch this weekend.&nbsp;</p>
