Plastic Love
1984 · Moon
Ranked No. 1 in 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
1984 · Moon
Picked by 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.
