    KyleintheKeyofG
    A fantastic album with a fantastic sound. While I tend to be weary of 1980s music production, this album sounds great. The City Pop sound is one I really enjoy, which may be a dichotomy due to my wariness of 1980s music, but I don't care. Of course "Plastic Love" is the track everyone knows, but every song on here, including the bonus tracks (minus the club remix of Plastic Love, which I find pretty bad) are really good. Great vocals, great production, great playing, and great energy.

    My favorite tracks (aside from Plastic Love) are "もう一度," "とどかぬ想い," and "ふたりはステディ"

      This remastered cd doesn’t sound very good, sounds tinny, with low quality/weak bass, the drum symbols on plastic love on the start is so loud like if someone was getting smacked in the face.

      Get the older (original) cd version instead of the anniversary one.
