It goes even deeper - the Youtube algorithm recommending the likes of Ryu Fukui, Taeko Ohnuki and others has led online music aficionados, who knew about these artists before their decades old music gained renewed popularity with millions of views, to term them "YouTube-core". For example, I had a physical copy of one of Ryo Fukui's album around 2014, before it took off (or perhaps even before it was uploaded) on YouTube. The music is, of course, excellent, but it's funny how these things come around.
