One more thing, dyrrmaz: at that time in Japan, there was a huge problem with underground groups breaking into the mainstream. There was a "ceiling" by record producers who favored cute pop stars. But at the same time there was a huge underground of punk, new wave, synth and everything else going on, that couldn't get a record contract. Plastics were one of the few to break that ceiling.
dyrrmaz, they were very popular. and they went on to other successes after Plastics.
xxxKINGFROGxxx: you must have not been around in the late 1970s and early 1980s in Japan. Plastics were hugely popular. The fact that you are talking about them on YouTube -- talking about a group that existed before the Internet -- should tell your young mind something.

Interesting 'harsh' version of the song...woulda been nice if they continued further into the 80's to see what came about.
