Song Share: Plastic Love (プラスティック・ラヴ)

This time I am going to share with you a Japanese song, "Plastic Love".

Its genre is city pop, which was popular in Japan during the 1970s and 1980s, and became much less popular after the Japanese asset price bubble (バブル景気（けいき）) brought an end to surreal dreams of wealth and development. There is no position for me to judge history right now, but this distinct genre now does show us a fraction of that old time, when overheating economy brought people too much relaxation and happiness.

Personally speaking, I actually don't like ideas hidden behind this song (and many others from this genre): as the lyrics goes, "I'm just playing games. I know that's plastic love". Well, maybe it's because I have my girlfriend now, so I have been much more serious while speaking of love. But anyway, the songs are still pretty good. Even after decades, melodies still sound great, which is also why I would like to share this one "Plastic Love", which I especially like a lot.
