Plastic Love / Familia / Future Smile (プラスティック・ラブ/Familia/Future Smile) is Juice=Juice's 15th single. It was released on December 22, 2021[1] in eight editions: five limited and three regular. The first press of the regular editions includes a random trading card selected from 10 member cards and one shiny group card depending on the jacket (33 in total).
The Limited Edition SP2 includes a download card for one of 10 Free Angle Video, filmed with 70 cameras, of a "Future Smile" solo dance shot video. A special Kanazawa Tomoko Sotsugyou Kinenban edition of the single, which was only available from the Pony Canyon Shopping Club, includes Kanazawa focused versions of the music videos in the Blu-ray disc, and one large sized raw photo from her graduation concert (purchasers can choose one photo from 3 types).[2]
"Plastic Love" is a cover of the 1984 song of same title sung by the artist Takeuchi Mariya and produced by Yamashita Tatsuro. More specifically, Juice=Juice covers the abridged version of the song played in its official music video. A 7-inch LP vinyl record of the cover will be released on December 6, 2023.[3]
This is the debut single for new members Arisawa Ichika, Irie Risa and Ebata Kisaki. It is also the last single to feature Kanazawa Tomoko and Inaba Manaka, who graduated from the group before and after the release of the single, respectively.[4]
