    Released: August 30, 1997[1]

The Fantastic Plastic Machine is the debut studio album by Japanese musician Fantastic Plastic Machine. It was released on October 10, 1997, by Readymade Records.[2] The album was subsequently released in Germany on April 24, 1998, by Bungalow Records[3] and in the United States on September 15, 1998, by Emperor Norton Records.[4]

The album drew influence and inspiration from music styles—including baroque pop, bossa nova, beat, and europop, as well as dance music roots.[5] The album cover art was illustrated by French-Armenian cartoonist and illustrator Edmond Kiraz.[6]

AllMusic[5]

Steve Huey of AllMusic described The Fantastic Plastic Machine as "a delightful, infectious album that's not only hooky as all get-out, but also rewards repeated listening", deeming it "one of the best albums to come out of the Japanese club-pop movement".[5]

In 2007, Rolling Stone Japan placed The Fantastic Plastic Machine at number 67 on its list of the "100 Greatest Japanese Rock Albums of All Time".[7] In 2011, the album was included in LA Weekly's "beginner's guide" to Shibuya-kei music.[8] Tokyo Weekender writer Ed Cunningham later cited it as a "groundbreaking" Shibuya-kei release, noting: "Some post-Shibuya-kei artists would follow in the footsteps of the guitar-driven indie pop of Flipper's Guitar, but many more significant acts, in genres such as picopop and electropop, would expand upon the electronica initiated by [Fantastic Plastic Machine]."[9]
