Plastics is a Japanese group formed in 1976 and originally comprised of Toshio Nakanishi, Hajime Tachibana, Masahide Sakuma, Takemi Shima and Chica Sato.
A group that will remain mainly in the musical history of the 80s for the high-caliber Single "Last train to Clarksville" released in 1981.
As such, they deserved this article.
