The chorus is certainly memorable. I prefer the Akina Nakamori ver. b/c Takeuchi originally wrote it with her voice in mind. Nakamori has a sultrier, deeper voice, which with the instrumental, feels more appropriate to the lyrics.

As a side note, while the Plastic Love phenomenon was certainly great for the genre, its timeliness and rise still comes off as a bit bizarre/head-scratching to me. Great singer-songwriter becoming an incidental leading figure for a movement largely founded on vaporwave, a meme-driven plunderphonic genre initially meant to be western consumer-capitalist satire. Most video games consumed in the era were Japanese, and six degrees of kevin bacon later, here we are.

Too R&B to be able to stay on anyone’s city pop top 5.

Its gotta check all dem old school vibes, and so this will fall short once someone’s city pop collection gets more.....taste lol.
