I remember growing up in Japan when I was 10. I had just stepped out of a book store, and a pretty girl the same age shyly held out her hand to me and asked me if I wanted to walk around with her. This song was playing on the radio where we stopped to have ramen together. She never gave me her name, but told me a day to always meet her to hold hands and walk or picnic. I finally got her name a few months later - Mitsuki. We became close friends, but my parents took a job to America when we were 13, so I had to leave her, both of us in tears and snot. I would send her letters, and she would send letters back. At 22, she suddenly stopped mailing me. I thought she was gone. 5 months later, she was at my door in America, with her hand out to me when I opened the door. We're married in our 40's now, and we've taken walks through multiple cities together across the world and we always stop someplace that has noodles and play this song on our phone. Thank you Mariya. Your love may be plastic, but mine is beautiful thanks to this song. If you see a middle-aged couple with or without their kids with them, holding hands and acting like teenagers or even young kids in Tokyo browsing the shops, its us. just keeping this copy paste alive.

I'm Japanese. I'm honestly surprised that old Japanese pop music is being recognized worldwide as City Pop. And I'm happy to be able to reunite with these nostalgic songs of my youth. Thank you for loving Japanese music.

[@deneyacarter6779]

Anytime 😊

[@blueink1351]

the beat of that song is great and similar to high quality funky song from the Western world, Quincy Jones etc...I was actually nicely suprised that Japanese people were into that type of music. Someone mentioned to me that a club in Tokyo called the Blue Light, have the same atmosphere (more jazzy though) but not sure if they are still into that.

[@uzrider]

@@blueink1351 I don't know much about the current music situation in Japan, but there are many styles of music, from traditional to modern. It continues to be made in large numbers. City pop is, so to speak, a reverse import culture to Japan. There are many young people in Japan who do not know City Pop. It feels strange.

[@blueink1351]

@@uzrider It is just not their generation. The city pop is like the funk music here in Europe and here too, not that much known by the youth, and even if they are familiar with some songs, they don't appreciate it as older people do. People stick on the music of their generation, most of the time, for instance you may barely meet someone after 50s that enjoy rap music, unless in a desperate and wrong attempt of staying young and "in".

[@uzrider]

@@blueink1351 I see. There are differences in preferences between generations. When I went to karaoke with my younger colleagues, I sang a Tatsuro Yamashita's song (Amaku Kiken na Kaori) but they didn't know it 😢

i see people here have forgotten the tradition. leaving JK's lost comment from the original plastic love here. "I remember growing up in Japan when I was 10. I had just stepped out of a book store, and a pretty girl the same age shyly held out her hand to me and asked me if I wanted to walk around with her. This song was playing on the radio where we stopped to have ramen together. She never gave me her name, but told me a day to always meet her to hold hands and walk or picnic. I finally got her name a few months later - Mitsuki. We became close friends, but my parents took a job to America when we were 13, so I had to leave her, both of us in tears and snot. I would send her letters, and she would send letters back. At 22, she suddenly stopped mailing me. I thought she was gone. 5 months later, she was at my door in America, with her hand out to me when I opened the door. We're married in our 40's now, and we've taken walks through multiple cities together across the world and we always stop someplace that has noodles and play this song on our phone. Thank you Mariya. Your love may be plastic, but mine is beautiful thanks to this song. If you see a middle-aged couple with or without their kids with them, holding hands and acting like teenagers or even young kids in Tokyo browsing the shops, its us"

[@depechex]

Not melancholic but a true red pill, hard to swallow as a man. Women do not love, love is a masculine treat since men love unconditionally. Women feel deep admiration during a brief time, admiration that fades easily as a mental trick of their minds.

『Plastic Love』 ～歌詞～ 突然のキスや熱いまなざしで 恋のプログラムを狂わせないでね 出逢いと別れ上手に打ち込んで 時間がくれば終わる Don't hurry! 愛に傷ついたあの日からずっと 昼と夜が逆の暮らしを続けて はやりのDiscoで踊り明かすうちに おぼえた魔術なのよ I'm sorry! 私のことを決して本気で愛さないで 恋なんてただのゲーム 楽しめばそれでいいの 閉ざした心を飾る 派手なドレスも靴も 孤独な友だち 私を誘う人は皮肉なものね いつも彼に似てるわ なぜか思い出と重なり合う グラスを落として急に涙ぐんでも わけは尋ねないでね 夜更けの高速で眠りにつくころ ハロゲンライトだけ妖しく輝く 氷のように冷たい女だと ささやく声がしても Don't worry! I'm just playing games I know that's plastic love Dance to the plastic beat Another morning comes I'm just playing games I know that's plastic love Dance to the plastic beat Another morning comes

This beautiful music reminded me of my first Japanese love when I was in college in early 1980s. She was taking intensive English classes when I met her on campus. We dated for a few months until she had to leave and go back to her country. We kept in touch and about 2 years later I was on a business trip to Asia and had a brief stop-over in Tokyo. I called her up to surprise her and she actually took a 3 hour long ride to get to Narita Airport! (She probably lived on the other side of Tokyo). It was a bitter sweet reunion as we sat in the Airport and reminisced all the fun times we had in college. And then it was time to part - that was really difficult for both her and me, as we cried, knowing this would probably be the last time we see each other. It has been almost 40 years later, and I still think of her. I have tried to search for her online but without luck. She would probably be in her fifties. Yuriko, if you are reading this message, I miss you!

Ever since I first listened to this song, I can't stop listening to it every night. It feels very nostalgic to me. I also really like the jazzy instrumentation and Mariya-san's voice is so great. This is pretty much the song that has introduced me to Japanese City Pop music.
