"Plastic Love" is perhaps the quintessential example of city pop, a strain of '80s Japanese pop music that has enjoyed renewed relevance over the past couple years.

City pop is demarcated by charmingly retro production that buoys ballad-y, mid-tempo vocals with syrupy strings, bouncy bass, and punchy drums. There's a bit of funk, a bit of muzak, and plenty of lyrics about forlorn love. Very much the kinda thing that'd play over the intro of a syrupy anime of the era.
