First and foremost, it is a genre of music born out of post-WWII Western colonialism. It should first be made clear that city pop is, above all, two things. This trend, a type of music held together by thick beats and jazzy bass riffs, is known as city pop, and in recent years, it’s seen a revival in the West through a different genre of music altogether. They were part of a very specific trend of Japanese popular music that had a unified, but not derivative sound to it. These are musicians whose mainstream pop heyday in Japan ended quite some time ago – over thirty years or so, to be a bit more precise. Junko Ohashi, Marlene, Kaori Akimoto…the list goes on. Mariya Takeuchi, however, is far from the only 80’s Japanese singer that has gained an online following. It feels like a snapshot of a better time, a better place. “Plastic Love” is a song that’s gained an online cult presence for this very reason – for both the time and the place it conjures when one listens to it. One can almost picture themselves cruising down a seaside road or wandering a neon city while this plays. There’s a distinct laidback sound to it, a wistfulness that’s hard to put into words.
