Mariya Takeuchi's song, Plastic Love, became improbably famous online nearly 40 years after its release in large part due to a quirk of the YouTube algorithm that put it in nearly everyone's suggestions. In particular, an upload of the song by a user named Plastic Lover received over 20 million views. This specific upload of the song became an online nexus point where fans of the music became exposed to an entire subgenre of Japanese Pop Music known as Citypop. • The image on Plastic Lover's upload of the song, however, was not the artwork for the Plastic Love single nor the album it appeared on. In fact, it was a photo taken by a man named Alan Levenson, originally intended for the Miss M album artwork. After finding a video about Plastic Love by a YouTuber named Stevem, Alan learned of the song's sudden popularity. • Although at first he was excited to hear about the image's newfound fame, he became embroiled in copyright disputes over the image with Mariya Takeuchi's current and past record labels and ultimately, this led to the removal of Plastic Lover's video, causing major online backlash. • Stevem's video: • What is Plastic Love ? • ▶️Become A Member: http://youtube.com/whangwhangwhang/join • 👕Whang Merch: https://teespring.com/stores/whang • 📹Copy My Camera and Lighting Setup: http://amzn.to/2F0BGIv • 💸 Patreon: / whang • 💸 Patreon Shout Outs: • 👼Fae Rie • 🐩Murfy Murf • 🎤Let's Have a Discussion • 🍁Jason Verhoek • 🐶Keely Lemonnier • 🚘Volaju • 🐻Jayden Wybenga • 🐦Darren Blacklock • 🐻Scott Barrie • 🐹Porg Thigh Meat • ⚽Ryan • 🌯Jackburrito • 🏠Joseph House • 🐼Shannon Gerbes • 🦔Michelle • ✂️Dan Kutz • 👓Zachary Murphy • 🐕Adrian Gorman • 🦁Oshey • Ⓜ️Merryweather • 🌌Alec Holland • ✍LHAD • 👹Beaston Mode • 💭Klaud • 🥋Jonathan Hedman • 😼Jacobb Martinez • 🐌Moist Snail • 🐙Whang!
