About this album
Variety is Mariya Takeuchi’s defining city pop statement, a polished and emotionally direct 1984 album that helped define the sound’s enduring appeal. Blending pop, funk, soul and soft rock with crisp hooks and elegant arrangements, it balances glossy studio craft with everyday intimacy. The album is best known for ‘Plastic Love’, later embraced worldwide as a key city pop anthem, while songs such as ‘Mou Ichido’ underline Takeuchi’s gift for melodic writing and conversational phrasing. As one of her most celebrated releases, Variety remains a touchstone of Japanese pop’s late-20th-century sophistication.
