This song makes me nostalgic for a time I never lived in, and in a country I've never been to.

No matter the language, music is definitely universal and this song is just beautiful to listen on repeat 🔁

Unironically one of the greatest pop songs ever recorded. So glad the internet dug this one up and brought it to mainstream attention.

Another legendary song "stay with me" also really has unique vibes.

I spent a year in Japan in 1991. At that point, the popular musical tastes had changed, but this damn-near perfect song reminds me of this beautiful country and its beautiful people.

Mariya Takeuchi is a legend of Japanese City Pop. She speaks English too, she was an exchange student in 1970s (Illinois).

I'm consistently impressed with how jazzy and funky Asian pop music is.

I am a Japanese person in my 20s, and although I have never experienced that era of this song, I can imagine nostalgic images that make me feel as if I had lived in that era. Interestingly, not only Japanese people but also people from different cultures and perspectives overseas seem to share similar impressions in the comment section of city pop videos. It is amazing to see how music can be a universal language that transcends borders and cultures.

Yamashita Tatsuro. The true Mastermind behind all city pop. This is his creation and thats his wife singing.

I feel so nostalgic when I discovered this back in 2017 when I felt nostalgic of the 80s. And i was born in 78.

Absolute banger

Always good vibes 😎

If you want a treat, listen to her album "Miss M". You will see a lot of familiar names who did session work on it.

Got a cassette for this thing that was left behind by the japanese owner, just got a jdm import and left some goodies for me

Plastic Love（1984）Mariya Takeuchi Lyrics and composition: Mariya Takeuchi Arrangement and Production: Tatsuro Yamashita (English translation with a rough meaning of Japanese Lyrics) Suddenly ,You kiss me and you look at me with a hot gaze, But I hope you don't derail my planned love program. I put the timing of encounter and farewell to you into the program. It's programmed so It will end naturally,when the time comes, So, don't hurry! Since the time when I was hurt by the loss of true love with him, I started living the opposite life of people who sleep during the day and are active at night. While dancing all night at the disco that is popular now, I found this magical way for me to fall in love without getting hurt. So, I'm sorry! So, never really love me, please. I think love is just only a game. If we enjoy the moment, that's fine, Don't ask for more. I hide my closed heart, but the flashy dresses and shoes I dress up are the cherished friends who support my heart in lonely time. But it's ironic, All the guys who invite me are always like the guy I really fell in love with. It always overlaps with my memories of him. So, if I drop my glass and burst into tears, Don't ask me why. When I fall asleep in the car on the highway late at night Just as the light of halogen lights shines in the city at midnight. I don't care If someone whispers that I'm an ice-cold woman. Don't worry! I'm just playing games of love I know that's plastic love Dance to the plastic beat Another morning comes I'm just playing games of love I know that's plastic love Dance to the plastic beat Another morning comes (Original Recording Musicians) Mariya Takeuchi ：Vocals Tatsuro Yamashita ：Electric guitar, acoustic piano, keyboards, percussion Koki Ito ：Bass Jun Aoyama ：Drums Yasuharu Nakanishi ：Electric piano Ken Muraoka, ：tenor saxophone Emmy Watts, ：tenor saxophone solo Shunzo Sunahara ：Baritone Saxophone Susumu Kazuhara, Hitoshi Yokoyama, ：trumpet Tadanori Kogawa, Yoshio Osagawa　：Trombone Kato Group ：Strings Backing vocals ：Tatsuro Yamashita, Mariya Takeuchi, Taeko Onuki Recording Studios : Onkio Haus, CBS Sony Roppongi Studio Tokyo & A&M Studio "Plastic Love" was released as a song on Mariya Takeuchi,her 6th original album “Variety”, released in 1984.

... awesome _ cheers Bro.

So funny, Mariah also sent this to another reaction channel. Get it out there, this track is bomb! 😑

Legendary

bro has a whole anime op for a intro 😭

City Pop Jamz

delicious groove ami i right?

En latinoamerica el City Pop no ha tenido la importancia que debería tener. El género es muy, muy bueno.

Actually this legendary city pop song has been remade (not covered) by none other Rainych Ran, whose Japanese version of Say So you reacted to several months ago.

Ma-ri-ya

i see that umd hat! 👌

また未来を見てしまった。

this intro killed me. rip me

Why react to the fan-made extended version?

isn't rca the same record company elvis presley was under?

🤓 “actually Plastic Love is released by Warner Music Group” 🤓

Good taste & groovy soul blow any barrier, the langages & the voice as an emotional vector. It strongly connects with the post disco wave (i.e. funk jazzy) largely despised by pop american charts😢
