eill has been rocking the music industry with her latest release of “PLASTIC LOVE” this past week. This song is originally from the album “VARIETY” by Mariya Takeuchi which was first released in 1984. This cover song is available to listen to through major music streaming services. The arrangement is made by the producer Yaffle, who is one of the leading figures in the Tokyo music scene. The tempo of the song is slightly slower than the original one and the arrangement is just perfect - it's not overdone too much or not enough. The usage of digital effects is quite catchy and has an amazing effect on the vocals. Most of all, eill's delicate voice cannot be forgotten once you hear it and her singing is very delicate, causing a great impression that will stay with you. The lyrics and melody of the original song, which was first released in 1984, is still fresh. Of course the arrangement by Tatsuro Yamashita is just great but at the same time eill’s version of “PLASTIC LOVE” has brilliant balance as a pop song in 2021.

To begin with, the combination of eill and the song “PLASTIC LOVE” is an interesting one. As many media have already mentioned, the revival of Japanese “city pop” music has been viral in many countries recently, and ‘PLASTIC LOVE’ by Mariya Takeuchi is one of the songs which started this trend. The official YouTube music video of “PLASTIC LOVE” by eill has been watched over 770.000 times (as of October 2nd). Many comments have been written in English and other languages, including Korean rather than Japanese.
