龍宮城

**龍宮城** (Ryūgū-jō) is a Japanese musical project that dives deep into retro-futuristic vibes, blending city pop, electronic beats, and playful nods to video game soundtracks. Named after the mythical underwater Dragon Palace from Japanese folklore, their music often feels like a neon-lit dive into oceanic depths or a late-night drive through a pixelated cityscape. Tracks like "DEEP WAVE" and "SHORYU (→↓↘＋P)" showcase their knack for merging smooth synth melodies with cheeky references to gaming culture (yes, that’s a fighting game command input in the title!).

While the members behind 龍宮城 keep a low profile, their releases—including the tropical "裏島" and the funky "Mr.FORTUNE"—highlight a love for ‘80s-’90s nostalgia reimagined through a modern lens. Their sound is a cocktail of chillwave grooves, vaporwave aesthetics, and dreamy escapism, making them a favorite in Japan’s underground electronic scene. If their tracklist were a vibe, it’d be a Sega Genesis cartridge meets a sunset beach cocktail party.
