Hello, I am trying out Apple Music with the free trial. It is very weird with city pop. Many city pop songs are classified as jpop and some of them are simply only pop. Apple Music's own "City Pop Essentials" playlist includes many songs that are not city pop. After listening to only city pop for one week, the recommendations I get are still modern jpop or 80s calm songs. Neither of them are similar at all to city pop. Same happens with custom stations based on city pop artists and albums.

Does Apple Music not know the distinction between city pop and jpop? Is there something I should do to get better recommendations or to find actual city pop songs? How do you all use Apple Music?
