Lyrics:
A sudden kiss in the morning
A tender gaze in the evening
Beyond my range of comprehension
Until you brought to attention
Greetings always followed by
Sweet goodbyes, yes
All must meet its end
Baby, can't you just relax?
Don't look back
Don't hurry!
Still reminiscing the day when
You left me all on my own, then
I walked away from any daylight
Instead of dawn it was twilight
Underneath the disco ball
Breaks the spell that
Holds you in my mind
Though I used to dance with you
Now we're through
I'm sorry!
Don't you dare
Even try to convince me
Don't you lie
'Bout the way that we could be
"Love's a game"
They all say it, they mean it
Might as well have fun
Play every single one
I filled the holes
And the cracks in my heart with
Fancy high heels
And plenty of dresses
They're my sole companions on this journey
Many men
That are fishing and begging
Speak of love
But they're still second-guessing
Hollow vows, even promises broken
Every face and voice
Brings memories of you
Glassy eyes
Shedding tears of my sorrow
Hoping they will forget by tomorrow
Praying no one's asking for the reason
Still reminiscing the day when
You left me all on my own, then
I walked away from any daylight
Instead of dawn it was twilight
Underneath the disco ball
Breaks the spell that
Holds you in my mind
Though I used to dance with you
Now we're through
I'm sorry!
Don't you dare
Even try to convince me
Don't you lie
'Bout the way that we could be
"Love's a game"
They all say it, they mean it
Might as well have fun
Play every single one
I filled the holes
And the cracks in my heart with
Fancy high heels
And plenty of dresses
They're my sole companions on this journey
A thousand dazzling lights surround me
Glimmering with mysticality
As if they're calling me to head back
But tired train rides endure that
Half-asleep I hear a sigh
Hear a voice speak whispers left ignored
Should I even bother though?
Yes or no
Don't worry!
I'm just playing games
I know that's plastic love
Dance to the plastic beat
Another morning comes
I'm just playing games
I know that's plastic love
Dance to the plastic love
Another morning comes
I'm just playing games
I know that's plastic love
Dance to the plastic beat
Another morning comes
I'm just playing games
I know that's plastic love
Dance to the plastic beat
Another morning comes
twitter.com/stillwetson i know its something new this week, so i hope you all enjoy!!! :)
if mariya takeuchi sees this ily (what do u wanna see me sing next?)
Fukashigi No Carte 😳
English cover of "Letter" from violet evergarden maybe? ☺ Also looking forward to the song.
Yozurina PinocchioP!
I would love to hear your version of Haru Hisagi (Prostitution) from Yorushika
Ride on Time would be cool, but any more City Pop would be appreciated!
why does that photo emit so much “i was forced into taking a photo for the school yearbook” type vibe
That's not actually a nice comment even if it's a joke. Maybe he really liked the pic of him and this comment says otherwise
Probably because he’s wearing a full suit and he looks young
@@half-soul8393 ok half-soul `
Guys I just wanted likes I'm sorry
@@half-soul8393 lmao you're fine bro, we on the internet
Ah, yes, the nostalgia of my non-existent 80s life.
I'm convinced that the false nostalgia is more about mourning lost futures than a sense of actual experiences. A return to the end of history. Vaporwave aesthetics are exactly the same, and the thing is I think they're *comforting* more than anything else. They evoke a time when we genuinely believed capitalism had triumphed, this was a good thing, and there'd be suburban lawns and shopping malls into the future forever.
Both citypop and vaporwave are incredibly nostalgic because they're both incredibly retrofuturistic. The latter intentionally so, and the former by accident.
I was barely even alive in the '90s!
@@Freecell82 wow, you put feelings into words.
@@Freecell82 I would marry your way with words if that was possible boss. 😍😍
@@Freecell82Sir, this is a McDonalds
I'm over 50 years old Japanese woman. This cover is so good. thank you.
I want this song to be played all over the world.
Please feel free to share any of your memories with us. I know I'd like to hear. I found this song today, I've know about the original for about a week. The bubble era of Japan is such a fascinating time to learn about.
Ive never been so intrigued by such a simple comment. The age difference, the cultural difference, how random and easy it was to find someone so inherently different from me. Love from the USA ❤️
Reached my ears in New Zealand and I love Mariya Takeuchis Plastic love.
It reminds me of Japan and Hong Kong in the 80s and 90s. The years when rebellious young men rode motorbikes like the wind with their girlfriends behind them, circling every street and road under the dim sparkling neon lights of store signs. Sleepless nights...
:,)
you can pull off any genre
One time i pulled of a plaster (bandaid in Britain) and then i started bleeding again because it was a fast rip
I pulled my mom's hair and she beat me up with whip and candle
Youre literally everywhere no joke
@@DefinitelyChael takes one to know one
you can't beat a good pull off.
This cover is Awesome! I am over 50 years old Japanese man. I have been growing up the this original song sing by Maria-san since I was a kid. Will-san does NOT break original image of this song definitely! Please keep up to cover to pass next generation! I am so happy to hear this cover. :-)
Mr. Steal yo shopping cart
And Mr steal yo girl
I love this comment
Mr steal someone else music.
@@DUDEDRUNK ?? What you talking about?
@@DUDEDRUNK How do you not know what a cover is? Considering he literally gives credit in the description and the title of the video has the original singer's name in it.
Will stetson looks like he's trying to do a sales pitch on a failing business in the Florida keys and he really needs this for his career, and this is his final chance to close the deal so he forces his best fake smile, but in his eyes you can see the fear and sorrow building, cus if he fails not only is his job gone, but so is his wife and kids. sad story
i guess you could say he’s out here, putting in the work for all _the sons_
imm why are you like this....
@@caspian1263 Will stetson do the funny pose
Why...
this is oddly specific, are you ok?
looking quite dapper there not gonna lie
So was the picture of the original creator.
“What do Japanese women like the most? 80s pop and... feeling loved.”
“Damnit Don, you’ve done it again!”
I am a Japanese man. This song is interesting even if it is sung by a popular man. Aside from morality, some men may be dating multiple women with this feeling.
Indeed, the song is truly interesting! I find it fascinating that people are taking so many different meanings from it
哀愁を帯びた素敵な歌声がEnglishで原曲を壊さず、こんなふうな新たな歌に創造されるのが素晴らし
感激です😆
この音楽は世界共通の美しさなのでしょうね。
What
失恋した世界中の女性が共感するでしょうね。
まりやさんの歌詞にかなり忠実に訳してるんですねえ。日本人以外のカバーを初めて聞きましたが、世界中で聴かれている事に納得しました。
この人もまりやちゃんもかっこいいし、歌うまいけど、やっぱ達郎天才だわ。天才すぎる。
“I fill the holes and the cracks in my heart with fancy high heels and plenty of dresses”, gives off a different vibe when I guy’s singing it :D
I can totally see a glamourous queen lip syncing (better if performing live!) to it with a sassy attitude
Im not a lyricist but they should have changed it to junk foods and videogames for the sole reason that its the truth.
Sounds like he's been killing them and taking their shit
@@zethrenbeltran4071 That doesn't radiate 80s vibes tho
We've all got our different coping methods. XD
I've been listening to this nonstop for the past couple of days lmaooo
AYYYYYY PETE DIDNT EXPECT TO SEE YOU HERE HELLOOOO
You know something: this song makes me think about my friend, who has a different girlfriend every month, but he always picks girls up at bars, hoping to find good girls there. I don't have the heart to tell him that girls who go to bars usually aren't there for love.
If he's going though this kind of pain, I can only feel for him. He criticizes me for being super picky, but I can't just fall in love with just anybody, you know? And Now; I'm unsure if that's a good or bad thing.
Give him a heart to heart bro talk. He needs it.
I don’t know adults’ world, since I’m still young, but I’ll share my story here I guess
I’m suffering since last year because I have a crush on somebody in my class. And I couldn’t face the fact because of how low confidence and overly negative a person I am. This secret was exposed by someone that I should never trust, I feel mad of myself because I know I shouldn’t say it yet I betray myself. Now almost all the boys know about this which make things worse.
Then one time my friends said that my crush probably don’t like me, although it’s just a simple sentence, it hits me deeply and I basically went broken in the winter break.This is the time when I got into this song. I still keep any kinds of confessions or any kinds of thought on this in my mind, because I feel like saying this out loud can offend her and it can make her really upset. And I just hope somebody in the future or know that love her can take care her well and give her a happy life. She don’t deserve a jerk like me.
I know me having this negative attitude is not a good thing, but this is what kind of a person I am. I’m feeling better these days. It’s still painful to go to school and see my crush in week days but at least I can sort of get over it.
Its a good thing that youre picky. Youre guarding your heart more than your friend. give him a heart to heart talk sometime about it.
@@scorpionjimmy8734 OMG WE SHARE SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. I CANT STRETCH HOW IMPORTANT TO NOT TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT HAVING A CRUSH ON SOMEONR ELSE. LEARN THE LESSON THE HARD WAY OVER THE LAST 2 MONTHS, MORE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THIS. Btw my crush now has a bf and it fucking sucked. I think my crush knew that I like him and now we rarely speak to each other, or should I say I didn't dare to do so. So afraid that his bf will know about I like him fr, tho i belive they are both nice but, it just feels awkward especially when they are close to each other. I was planning to confess after exams but he was taken with haste. THAT FEELING, is tormenting. Still have yet to completely get over the fact that he got a nice bf, and my friends are just adding oil to fire at this point, always shipping me and him. My letter of confession got captured in one of my friends phone and they shared to all my and their mutual friends in the class and they always mention it as a joke despite every time they mention my letter of confession it's like numerous needles impaling my heart (they are ignorant of it). Wish that u and your crush can stay happily together forever, as for me my chances are real slim.
Mend the broken heart
glad you picked this version to sing! the lyrics written by caitlyn myers was an awesome translation.
usually when you change a song from japanese to english it sounds a little bit janky or stilted; this version has none of that. probably one of the best english versions i've ever heard. love your cover by the way
I think that tends to happen when people try too hard to stay super faithful to the original, without embracing the inherent creativity involved in translation. It's a problem I see in a lot of translations, but it's especially pronounced in music since you then have to fit a stilted translation to a music beat that just highlights even more how stilted it is. It's not an easy thing to do by any means and I applaud people for trying, though.
My favorite covers are often the ones that focus less on strictly being faithful to the original and more on rewriting the song "as if" it had originally been written in the target language, while maintaining the original spirit and message of original. Of course, the more vague and poetic the original lyrics are, the harder it is to pull this off.
Every now and then you get a translation that's both faithful and sounds natural, and those are really special. I think Rebecca Watanabe's cover of Kenshi Yonezu's "Lemon" is one such example.
What can I say? The guy likes his high heels and dresses.
Might as well have fun , play every single one 🤷♂️🌠
i do too :)
"I filled the holes in the cracks in my heart with Fancy sport cars and plenty of golfing" Is a suitable replacement for men who aren't as Based as the singer. I agree, if your a dude and you like dresses and heels, fuck yeah dude do your shit. But I think adding a general gendered replacement might be better for male identifying singers who are more comfortable with male pronouns.
@@burgerbro34fullstreamarchi82 although this may not have been based, it does seem based on a true story
My god the irony of his latest release
I can't help but notice the distinct lack of bowtie.
should he have a bowtie?
And suspenders. Don’t forget about the suspenders
He should wear the leak suit from just dance 2019 in po pi po
Welp. Now I'm distracted.
Lindybeige?
日本の歌はメロディーがしっかりしているから英語で唄ってもしっくりすると音楽業界の方が話していた記憶がある。
韻ふんでるのかっこよすぎ
なるほど、英語で歌うとこんな感じなんですね、素敵です！❤️
A Master Piece !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
この英語歌詞、元の日本語歌詞の雰囲気をかなり上手に写し取ってますよね。翻案の巧みさといいますか。
この歌が英語圏でもウケるのは、メロディの良さと共に、本物の愛（true love）とか永遠の愛（eternal love）とかの言い回しが溢れかえるポピュラー音楽の中にあって、プラスチックな愛（plastic love）という表現がイヤ・キャッチング（ear catching）だからなんですね。「plastic love？え？なに？」と聴く者の意識をグッと強力に捉える表現というか「発明」だと思います。
@@radiocommander
そうですね！私も初めてplastic loveというタイトルを聞いた時まりやさんらしいなと思い、聴く前からワクワクしました。
radioさんの解説はとても的確で分かりやすくて好きです。
@@radiocommander おっしゃるとおり英語圏でも「愛は一途なもの」と言う印象でしょう。反対に、英語のplasticは、形が変わりやすい(力学専門用語で言うと塑性がある)ことをいいます。形成外科はplastic surgeryですね。ということはloveにくっついたら「何?」というより、はなから「インチキ臭」プンプンなのがplasticです。日本語のブラスチックは原語に関わらず固くて変質しにくいものの代表ですが、一方でplastic loveはgameの一種であればこそ変幻自在に楽しむもの、それを実現する仮面はブラスチックが含意する硬質の意思でできている。そうであってもホントは虚しいっていう英語の達人まりやの言葉遊びが詰まってます。ちなみに最近日本では有料になって話題のポリ袋というくたくたのアレは、英語ではplastic bagです。まさかのゴミみたいなloveと言う印象はないでしょうが、plasticには融通無碍で便利チープ感はあるでしょうねぇ。それが英語として読んだときのplastic /ˈplæstɪk/の含意です。日本語のプラスチック/pu-ra-su-chi-kku/として読めば、それは強がりの含意ですけどね。
この翻訳でもアプローチを撥ねつける場面は出てくるので、一応強がってはいる訳ですが、gameの融通無碍感より、もちっと原曲の強がり「舐めんなよ感」有ったほうがドラマチックになったはずですね。特に英語にするとこれではちと弱いかも。この曲はアレンジも完璧で他にやりようがないという意味で、音楽としての完成度にもう言葉もありません。modern classicalというべき名品です。
@@torotorotonarino9652 >はなから「インチキ臭」プンプンなのがplastic
まさしく仰有るとおり。「愛について語るのに合成樹脂である plastic って何よ？どう云う形容？」と英語母語人は感じます。ま、フランス人でも同じように感じるでしょうが。つまりとても ear catching な表現であるワケです。それで元詞は日本語である歌詞内容についても English speakers が興味を示すんですね。単なる和文英訳と違って歌謡の歌に合わせながらの翻訳は難しいですが、でも翻訳の英語歌詞もなかなかです。詳しいご説明をありがとう。
楽曲面／サウンドとしては、ご主人（山下氏）のアレンジなのでどこかで聴いたことのある風ではあるものの、それでも良い曲ですよね。
vocals ✔️
ethereal beat ✔️
aesthetic photo ✔️
foofie hair ✔️
well guess it's perfect
The new king for plastic love male English covers for sure
最高です日本の六本木の片隅を感じられましたよ😃❤️
とっても今風でした。
ヒットするかも!
曲が良いと時代も関係無いんですね😌💖
Very Good✨Thank you！
Your voice does this song so much justice
Why am i just now finding this, this is exactly what i need 💀
素晴らしい意訳歌詞！！！！！ ハンサムで力強いボーカル！！！！！ ツボを押さえたアレンジ！！！！！！
You know that you're a simple human being when you see "plastic love" and click without any hesitation.
You nailed it ! You're voice is just perfect on this song :)
I need Will Stetson x C418 collab
おぉ。。。
素晴らしいものを見つけてしまった
今さらながら、何年たっても名曲はその輝きを失わないのだと気付かされました😊
Englishバージョンで生まれ変わったように感じます🎵🎶
Wow Salute to Caitlin! The English translation conveys the justice of the original lyrics!
英語で歌うプラスティックラブとか、男性が歌っているとか、とても新鮮ですね。(*'▽'*)
the 80年代って感じです。
歌唱力がすごすぎてこの歌が彼の持ち歌のようですね。この方はプロシンガーでしょうか？
GOOD
Yup hes very good!
違和感無い言い回しと歌い方です。Good Cover !
Idk if it's the lack of sleep lol but the ending part of him singing I'm just playing games ik that's plastic love sounds so angelic it's making me cry his voice is so beautiful
かっこいいー！達郎さん英語で歌ったの聴いてみたい🙏
Girlfriend broke up with me recently. This was the cover that I needed to hear
You'll get through it.
Hurts like nothing else, but you'll make it.
Nuff fish in the sea my friend

Fill your heart with high heels and dresses my friend

I am Japanese.I knew Plastic Love sung by Maria Takeuchi.several weeks ago.And I search for other Plastic Love and finally I am here. Your voice is so beatiful! I like very very much.
I am sorry for my poor English.
イイネ！！ J-pop選んでくれてありがとう。NICE!! ARIGATO.
きれいな声ですね。
Oh yeah, back in the good old days when I wasn't born yet
歌唱力がすばらしい。
とてもいい
’７０～’８０～’９０～には、まだまだ良い歌が一杯ありますので、これを機会に、もっと知って歌ってほしいですね！
I just started listening to this song again and here we have Will making a cover of it
This song makes me sad in a good way, and I saw a person on the stage singing this song when I was at an anime convention. When I am going home from the anime convention, and it is finished, I start listening to this song, and I will never forget this song and the anime convention. I was waiting for next year's anime convention.
プラスチックラブは大好きな曲❤️
coverした曲はあまり好きじゃないけど
あなたのcoverは好きです♪
I need this cover on Spotify, it's amazing!
Me too!
I listen to this song so much in car drives that I’m gonna start leaving a heart every time I listen to it 😂💗💗
💗💗
💗💗💗
💗💗
I lost my account ❤
大好きな曲です。英語で歌っても素敵ですね！あなたの声もとても合っていて、素晴らしい！！
なんて美しい音楽🎧でしょう
Wow Will, a lot of work went into this. There are extra harmonies, a spot where you doubled at a lower octave (you've got a range there), and also extra backup oohs and aahs (and maybe even some whispered Japanese?). I also appreciate the interpretation - subtle cries, softer deliveries in parts, slides and other ornamentations, sometimes belting sometimes falsetto; you are a skilled and creative vocalist indeed. You definitely made this your own. Bravo to you and your team and of course to Caitlin Myers for her whimsical English adaptation and of course to Mariya Takeuchi, et al.
I was skeptical, but yes, you've done Plastic Love justice.
これはこれでGood❗👍👍👍👍
THIS SONG IS REALLy BEATIFUL AND I LIKE MUCH HIS VOICE from Will Stenson
Not sure why but this song started making me tear up. Usually songs don't do that to me
Will is so underrated. All of your cover is just amazing and your voice is beautiful!
Wow beautiful voice!! I love it!
原曲とはまた違う感じで良いですね♥
esta canción siempre logra ponerme tan melancólico, me trae muchos recuerdos de una época linda de mi vida.
This song has been coming up in my recommended and i only listened to it yesterday and now you're covering it. Guess it's popular again
What a beautiful cover, I can't stop listening to it 🩷🩷🩷
The voice of Will is gentle and beautiful with clear pronunciation. The lyrics translate the original Japanese one accurately. I deeply love this song!
I am Japanese.
It felt very nostalgic.
Thank you!
Plastic love and stay with me played at my moms favorite nail salon when I was little so ive always loved the Japanese originals but this is really good

なんかボーカルの雰囲気はエアサプライとリック・アストリーを混ぜた感じ♪
♪( ´▽｀川
そうそう！ちょっと高めのリックアストリーだ！
When will said this style fit his voice the best 😳😳😳 idk man you kinda just keep killing it with each new cover
time to relive a classic
Besides your awesome voice, the sound effects, and the lyrics are the best among all the other versions on UA-cam! It is so professionally made! Apart from the original version of Takeuchi Mariya, I actually downloaded yours and put it in my MP3 player.
English speakers: Yay, I can finally understand it! ... oh, wow. Now I'm sad.
There's another one though.
That came out two years ago
Japan still likes singing sad lyrics on happy songs 🤷
I love the 90's vibes here, your voice is so beautiful♡
My daughter introduced me to your music and I'm glad she did; your sound is classic, your voice is amazing, and I wish you all the success you could possibly want.
Yes! Thank you Will! You're one of my favorite artists and you covered one of my favorite songs!
Man I wish this were on apple music or iTunes store D: It's soooo good
Classy suit bro, love your style.
Excelente, buena voz.
I heard a lot of Plastic Love covers but this is the best one by miles!
I LOVE YOU WILL STETSON!!!
Actually boys feels the same way 'bout some previous relationship trauma too, this song transcend all the emotions and it's PERFECTLY DONE!!!🤧👌 *Chef's hand* it's so relatable when you listen and you've got background back pandemic going through the discotheque. Golden song, Top tier cover, pathos lovely memories from back then (pandemic) ❤️🙌 God Bless you

This is beautiful! I have been listening to this to an unhealthy degree!
