PLASTIC LOVE - Mariya Takeuchi
This iconic song, which heavily influenced the genre CITY POP, got it's official music video 4 months ago, 40 years after it's release! Someone in the YT comments wrote : "This was one of the first songs released by Mariya Takeuchi after her return from her hiatus. During her absence, she worked on making a demo tape with the equipment she had at home.
When she played her completed song to her husband, Tatsuro Yamashita, he was surprised to hear that she could create such a high quality work by herself."
Director Kyotaro Hayashi Comments (The original text in Japanese is in the description):
In this year of REIWA period, this masterpiece, which has never been lost in the wave of times, has been released to the world once again. It was a great honor for me to be involved in this as a director.
We worked together to create this film with respect for the era in which this song was born, and also with the interpretation of our generation. I hope you enjoy it.
