Does Anyone Remember That Japanese New-Wave Band Called "The Plastics" ?

... I have a faint memory of a cool, campy, fun
tune called "Top Secret" or somethin'.

Their videos and music symbolized the whole new
techno-obsessed era coming in, but they fused
guitars and synths quite nicely.

Can anyone tell me what their albums
were and where to find them ?

i think they had a video where all the guitars were mounted on flexible tubes coming out of the ground... and cool sunglasses...

Not to derail, but are there any other bands that have gotten as much mileage out of strongly accented English?

As Much? Probably most had more...

Asw I recall, the NME went for the Japanese new wave/pop in quite a big way, but then came Anneka's "Japanese Boy", which killed it stone dead.

One of the best live concerts I ever saw, warming up for The B-52's.
