The most producer-driven act in the Japanese pop movement known as Shibuya-kei, Fantastic Plastic Machine was formed by ex-Pizzicato 5 member Tomoyuki Tanaka. Though he has the basic stylistic tastes requisite of the Shibuya-kei artist (namely lounge music, bossa nova, French pop and soft rock), Tanaka has more of a club mentality, driven by his long experience as a DJ.

This track, pulled from the album “Luxury”, is infectiously catchy - undoubtably the stand out track from the album that easily outperforms such UK equivalents for the musical talent and sheer diversity on display.

What would we do with out guys like this? Probably not smile as much….
