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.
