Japan (1984 – 2001)

Pizzicato Five (often nicknamed “P5”) is a legendary Japanese group that formed in 1984. Arguably the first group to popularize shibuya-kei from underground circles, they also later on began experimenting with the style, with what some called an innovative genre all their own, blending traditional Japanese pop, alternative, soul, funk, jazz, ye-ye, acoustic folk, and early electronic music, among others. They are also perhaps best known to audiences in the west in their later incarnation as a duo of Nomiya Maki (野宮真貴) and Konishi Yasuharu (小西康陽). 

They are widely credited to have spearheaded the “Shibuya-kei” movement of Tokyo in the 90s, along with Flipper’s Guitar. 

They are known for their eclectic and energetic compositions, which often sound like “new” releases from the late 1960s hipster scene. Their catchphrase—“A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular”—captured the group’s ironic stance but eager attitude. The group broke up in March 2001.

A hugely prolific group, Pizzicato Five would release at least an album-per-year along with various EPs and remix albums during their 16 year-career.

Both Nomiya Maki (野宮真貴) and Konishi Yasuharu(小西康陽) currently enjoy solo careers - with Konishi Yasuharu(小西康陽) producing other artists ranging from PUFFY and Smap to Cornelius and kahimi karie(カヒミ・カリィ) - alongside collaborative remix compilations - from Ella Fitzgerald and The Supremes to classic Disney and Thunderbirds (as in Super-Marionated) music on his Shibuya-based Readymade Records label.

Fantastic Plastic Machine - Philosophy (Le Knight Club Remix)

4hero: widely respected among music lovers and makers, but for some reason their music hardly ever gets performed by other artists. Why is that?

I wanted to give it a go with this cover of 'Look Inside'. A song about finding your own light, when the world around you appears to become dark and gloomy. It's originally quite an upbeat drum&bass track, but I gave my version a different, somewhat laid back interpretation. 
 
I've recorded this track live in one take, with my looping pedal Boss RC-300. Other stuff on my gear list:
- TC-Helicon VoiceLive 2
- Ibanez jazz bass 
- Roland FP4 piano
- Roland Juno 106 Synthesizer
- Apple Mainstage

Recorded at Studio CD23. Mastered by Marc Broer. Photography by Amerens Hedwich. Design by DTP74.

Changshahua Folk. I used the original tone of Changshahua(a dialect of Chinese)as the melody, which means the melody you heard here is just like the normal speaking in Changsha.
