They’ve done the same in reverse before - 70’s yacht rock artist Bobby Caldwell achieved moderate success in the US but was (arguably, still is) a phenom in Japan. Then he got co-opted back into the lofi/citypop movement. So many layers to this.https://youtu.be/_BPVtw6oRno

oh I love that track

Me too. It’s just the tip of the iceberg. Was amazed by some of my Japanese coworkers’ interest in obscure Motown and 70s soul vocalists I’d never heard of. We’re just rummaging through each other’s bargain bin records and discovering gems that our friends forgot about.

It's not even just Plastic Love. Its pretty cool how a bunch of other Japanese Jazz & Pop is big in the USA now (even if just online). I even got curious and made a sort of theory video on why, if anyone's interested:https://youtu.be/DLc-DSeqWsQ
