The (now-defunct) channel says:

Streaming City Pop classics 24/7! Come with us on an endless drive through the streets of Japan while listening to over 30 hours worth of the best City Pop records from the 80s. Travel back in time through the haze of memories that aren't your own, and melodies frozen in a particular place in history.

There's a related word that hits this feeling well - 'anemoia':

Nostalgia for a time you never experienced

Looking at old photos, it's hard not to feel a kind of wanderlust. A pang of nostalgia, for an era you never lived through. Longing to step through the frame into a world of black and white, if only to sit on the side of the road and watch the locals passing by.

Another genre of music often evokes these feelings too: synthwave.
