So in short, the fact that this song was able to make me feel sad and nostalgic without understanding/reading the lyrics is proof of the artistical genius of Takeuchi? Well, not gonna disagree with that.

@ihsantriapramanda1973 5 лет назад

So true, many experienced the same too. Feeling nostalgic for things they never experienced

@Rarestein 5 лет назад

Same for me. I was born in 2001 and, don't get me wrong, I love the 2000s era, but 80s and 90s seem so cool and a bit more simple (well, maybe not in Romania, because of communism). Nowadays, most people don't get out or, if they do, they stare into their phones. If I could live in the 80s for one day, I would.

Most of the music I discover (and like enough to go back to) on RU-vid is from people suggesting it through their comments on RU-vid, or replies on Reddit, or messages on Discord, etc. rather than the recommendations bar.

@Stevem 5 лет назад

Not bad ways to find music. When I was younger I used a lot of music rating websites like RYM (looking through weird genre to see what were the hip releases), music critics and whatever my friends were into at the time. However at least when it comes to RU-vid nowadays we would both be in the minority.

Growing up in the US as a Japanese-American, my pa and ma blasted music by her and many others. My father in fact was and is still a major fan of her so we always heard this in the car driving around town. My family is wholeheartedly surprised and are genuinely happy to hear that such a song and singer is gaining popularity here as well :) I recently got into City Pop but I'm so happy that such genre of songs are coming back. Arigatou everyone~ love from Tokyo

@anthonybird546 5 лет назад

Half-Japanese here, and I remember growing up in the 80s in the U.S. and remember seeing that love/hate with Japan at the time, but feeling like...vindication? Like I love being American, but seeing how crazy people went for Transformers (remember getting them as Diaclone), Nintendo, and Robotech, the negativity didn't feel like it hit that deep. I had been in Japan at peak City Pop, and I just kept saying to myself, "guys, you don't even know the fuckin' half of it, you would shit yourself."(American Transformers fans in the late 80s got fuckin' *robbed* when they didn't bring out the Japanese exclusives out to the U.S.). Now 35 years later, and here's the sounds of my experiences then coming back in a huge way. Fucking crazy. I have vague memories of just about every commercial having a City Pop soundtrack, like car commercials, or Sony, and my reactions to it then created a yearning or nostalgia (if that can be said for 6, 7, 8 year old to have). I love seeing people having the same reactions to it *now* is awesome.

@PETBOY 4 года назад

Check it. citypop is not a genre. It is the name given by Japanese radio DJ at the time. Plastic love is based on this song. (We Go - Minnie Riperton) The song configuration is the same. Citypop is a copy of Elevator Music. (ex. I Remember Yesterday Donna Summer ) MIki Matsubara - Stay with me. (1980) Carole Bayer Sager - It's The Falling In Love (1978) Exactly the same.

Man, that's really weird, to think that an obscure song and an even more obscure genre I've loved with a fiery passion for so long, to now become to popular, to the point where it may even become mainstream. Honestly never would have guessed. Great video, this is the first from you I've seen, and City Pop continues to be my favourite genre, and Plastic Love my favourite song, as well as the song that introduced me to City Pop. Thank you Mariya Takeuchi / 竹内まりや as well as the channel "Plastic Lover". Also, I doubt many people, if any, care to read my comment, but if any fellow listeners of Van Paugam's stream are here....

I learned more about Plastic Love, Mariya Takeuchi and City Pop in a night, than I've learned about anything in the past year. Thanks RU-vid. Btw I had no idea that City Pop originated in Japan, like wtf. I've listened to City Pop songs for a long time, but now I like the genre even more. And I'm definitely gonna download Takeuchi's discography this week. Queen. Also, the fact that Plastic Love was basically THE song that brought City Pop into the spotlight (in the West at least??) is just amazing. And also I listened to the song when it first went viral and I was like "it's cool, and I love people watching a Jpop song for no reason", but totally forgot about it until tonight. And btw as you talked about Yubin, she's released more stuff, and at least one other song (that I remember) sounds a little bit like City Pop too.

He shot it for Mariya's 1980 Miss M album, not 1984's Variety which is where Plastic Love is from. tbh it makes more sense that he did it through Norman Seeff Studio(which he was working for then)

@Stevem 6 лет назад

Truly Daebak thanks for the help with that ! Your video at the time was the only reference I could find to an actual audio clip of city love , it was a bit of a moment for me because I had these two different pieces of info one about a Korean pop star doing citypop numbers and the other about plagerism and they turned out to be connected

@kykale 6 лет назад

First of all, great editing work! Secondly, does any of you know any other Kpop artist that use the citypop sound/samples? I know that Jazzyfact’s “하루종일” samples Anri’s Last Summer Whisper and that Wonder Girls had a lot of 80s inspired songs on REBOOT.

"Where Are You?" by CLC is very much a City Pop song ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lNUP5B_NZUE.html Also Baek Yerin of 15& recently did a cover of "La La La Love Song" by Toshinobu Kubota that is nothing short of excellent ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JvIgqD_jUos.html Gfriend's most recent single "Sunny Summer" definitely takes some City Pop/Future Funk influences with its use of horns ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9iPLjmz3_U4.html I definitely wish there were more K-Pop songs that took influence from City Pop and Future Funk, its easily one of my favorite music genres, but sadly that's all I've been able to find so far. - Andrew

Terrific video. I knew you were doing this, so despite never listening to the song before (I had heard bits of it, but never cared for it enough to stick around), I decided to sit down, listen and read the lyrics (extraordinary lyrics, I must say). As someone who kinda hates city pop, I absolutely appreciate what RU-vid has done for the genre and all the other niche genres out there, and I enjoyed seeing you delve into the way RU-vid has changed the way we find music. Although clicking on Plastic Love eventually got Taeko Ohnuki into my recommended bar and I dig her, so I have Mariyah to thank for that. As for who you should do next: I know little about Nujabes, but I think he'd be more interesting than Hosoda. Simply because I think Hosoda has yet to hit his stride; all of his movies feel like they're the work of a guy that will soon, at some point, make a movie that expresses what he's going for in a flawless manner. But he's still hitting line drive singles instead of home runs. Maybe Mirai will be the one to successfully make that connection to me. It did very well at Cannes, so there may be something to it.

@Stevem 6 лет назад

Phoenix I very much like taeko's work she got that album artist thing going , I appreciate how her sound has developed over the years. I'll be talking about her on the citypop follow up. I think nujabes Is the favourite right now , hosada video may annoy some people because I tend to agree he's inching towards something fully formed so far my favourite was summer wars I really liked that yet it was just an expanded version of the Digimon movie, the concept seems more suited for that world. However after that point I've not like hosada "dramatic" family side. he's moving away from the adventure template and I'm not sure if that's for the better as he gains more control in both writing , directing and producing

I might not be completely right but I'd add Germany too (musically, economically and politically). Not coincidentally these fast economically growing countries were the defeated ones in WW2.
