Mariya Takeuchi · City Pop/Soft Rock
Recorded and self-written for the first time by Mariya Takeuchi while pregnant, and arranged/produced by her husband Tatsuro Yamashita, Variety was a comeback album whose deep cut 'Plastic Love' -- a bittersweet city-pop single about hollow, hedonistic post-heartbreak nightlife -- became a global streaming and vinyl-collecting phenomenon decades later after spreading through YouTube and vaporwave/future-funk circles.
