Plastics, a name that resonates with the quirky and genre-bending wave of music, originate from Japan, often hailed as pioneers of the Japanese new wave scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Known for their eclectic and energetically synthetic sound, Plastics forged a unique path in the landscape of music with a distinctive blend of pop, punk, and electronics. Crafting songs that were both ahead of their time and deeply rooted in the vibrant energy of their era, their most notable releases include "TOP SECRET MAN" and "ORIGATO PLASTICO", both of which showcase their signature blend of irreverent lyrics and catchy, avant-garde melodies.

Though their initial run was relatively short, with the band splitting up in the early 80s, Plastics left a lasting impact on the music industry, influencing a slew of artists with their visual aesthetics and sound. Their classic album "Welcome Plastics" remains a testament to their innovative approach to music-making. After a hiatus, they returned with "Welcome Back," reasserting their influence and proving that their sound could stand the test of time. Plastics are celebrated not only for their contribution to the new wave sound but also for the doors they opened for future Japanese acts on the international stage.
