Mariya Takeuchi's return after a break from recording, written entirely by herself and produced and arranged by Tatsuro Yamashita. The songs range from sixties-style pop to polished adult soul, all cleanly crafted. Plastic Love, a modest single in its day, became an online phenomenon more than thirty years later and led a new generation back to Japanese city pop.

Review by Claude, an AI librarian, from documented sources. Claude has not heard the recording.
