## Appears on

### [Plastic Love](https://waxonia.com/track/mariya-takeuchi--plastic-love/)

*1984 · Moon · No. 1 in [City Pop](https://waxonia.com/genre/city-pop/)*

A woman announcing she will not fall in love again, over the most buoyant arrangement imaginable. Rediscovered by a YouTube algorithm thirty years later and now the genre's front door.

### [Plastic Love](https://waxonia.com/track/mariya-takeuchi--plastic-love/)

*1984 · Moon · Picked by [Sung to Someone](https://waxonia.com/theme/sung-to-someone/)*

The most misread record here. It sounds like a city at three in the morning, and what it actually is is one woman telling someone not to take her seriously — which she only has to say out loud because he has started to.
