Variety is the sixth studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Mariya Takeuchi. It was released on 25 April 1984 through Moon Records. Variety is considered as Takeuchi's "comeback" album after being on hiatus since 1981, and is the first album entirely written by her. The album is produced by Takeuchi's husband, Tatsuro Yamashita. To international audiences, Variety is known for containing "Plastic Love" which, although only seeing moderate success in Japan when it was released as a single in 1985, saw a huge resurgence in popularity internationally in 2017 after a remix of the song was uploaded to YouTube. Takeuchi's five albums released before Variety were mostly written by other songwriters which, although featured industry stars such as Haruomi Hosono and members of Toto, left her feeling "exhausted". She went on hiatus at the end of 1981 due to a sore throat, as well as to get married to Yamashita in 1982. During her break, Yamashita left his record label, RCA Records, for the newly-founded Moon Records. Meanwhile, Takeuchi began writing some of the songs which would be included in Variety. Yamashita originally planned for Takeuchi's comeback album to be written by other songwriters, but changed his mind after listening to some of Takeuchi's work. A promotional single, "Mou Ichido", was released on 10 April 1984, followed by a full release on 25 April. The album topped the Oricon Albums Chart. * Anniversary reissue of 1984 Japanese City Pop classic* Contains seven bonus tracks* New and sealed with Obi strip* Special edition Tracklist: 1 - "Mou Ichido" (もう一度)2 - "Plastic Love" (プラスティック・ラブ)3 - "Honki de Only You (Let's Get Married)" (本気でオンリーユー)4 - "One Night Stand"5 - "Broken Heart"6 - "Night at the Amphitheater" (アンフィシアターの夜)7 - "Todokanu Omoi" (とどかぬ想い)8 - "Mersey Beat de Utawasete" (マージービートで唄わせて)9 - "Mizu to Anata to Taiyō to" (水とあなたと太陽と)10 - "Going Steady" (ふたりはステディ)11 - "Shetland ni Hoho wo Uzumete" (シェットランドに頬をうずめて) Anniversary Edition Bonus Tracks: 12 - "Aka no Enemeru [Previously Unreleased]"13 - "Plastic Love [12” Extended Club Mix]"14 - "Plastic Love [12” Original Length Remix]"15 - "Plastic Love [Karaoke]"16 - "Honki de Only You (Let's Get Married) [Karaoke]"17 - "Unfyshiata no Yoru [Previously Unreleased Karaoke]"18 - "Majibito de Utawasete [Previously Unreleased Karaoke]" CD is shipped with an additional protective sleeve to protect labels, obi's, etc. Your purchase will be securely packaged and shipped by USPS first class with a tracking number.
