Just click on the beautiful Mariya Takeuchi and she shall take you way to the song. As always, I will leave you with a sample of Plastic Love’s lyrics and a video where you can listen to this lovely piece. I only stumbled across it myself when Youtube recommended it for whatever reason (Seriously Youtube Recommendations can be so off base at times, this time was a score however). In short, I would say anyone into 70s or 80s music could benefit from listening to this song. Disco is even mentioned in the lyrics at one point as Takeuchi sings about dancing in popular discos after her breakup. When I first listened to the song I genuinely thought I was listening to a 70s song since it sounded as if this could easily be played in a discotheque.
Yes, it has the old music vibe that is reminiscent of even the 70s I would say. It really is a tune that can get you moving and grooving along to the beat. Clearly, the song lyrics are quite straightforward which is great for a poor analyst like me.Īs for the melody of the song, in short, it’s very funky and pop sounding. Though in the beginning of the song, Takeuchi claims that she can handle break ups well, in a way I feel she later contradicts herself when she sings about buying clothes and shoes for her closed off heart and later when her memories are triggered after being asked out by a man. On the other hand, it also seems that she may have picked up this attitude after having her heart broken and deciding it best to become closed off and cold to any attempts that may deepen her relationship with someone.
Hence the title, Plastic Love, meaning fake love. The way I interpret it, the song tells the story of a woman who really just wants to have fun with love while not taking it seriously or attempting to be truly in love with anyone or seeking love in return. Her first single came out while studying at Keio University and her career took off.īut this particular song, Plastic Love, is what introduced me to the talented and quite timeless Takeuchi. Takeuchi stems from the city of Izumo, Japan and did most of her education in the country although, she did study in the US for a year in high school. If you don’t know, Mariya Takeuchi was and still is fairly famous in Japan with a lot of number one hits on Japan’s own national music chart, Oricon. Today’s song is another special one as we take a trip back to 80s Japan to “dance to the plastic beat.” The song, Plastic Love, written and sung by songwriter Mariya Takeuchi was featured on her 1984 album, Variety. Tonight I’m back with another music review/recommendation.
