Top 10 Tatsuro Yamashita Covers

---

Covering Tatsuro Yamashita is a tall order. He’s a class A singer, songwriter, producer, instrumentalist, and the list goes on. Anyone daring to try and replicate his style is brave by any standard as few would dare. This list was extra discerning only because this is the king of City Pop, and only the best will cut it! Making this list is a huge accomplishment because not just anyone has the sparkle of Yamashita’s magic ways.
