Pizzicato Five

Pizzicato Five is a band / group associated with Japan whose catalog here spans 1995–2006. The artist is connected with Shibuya-kei, so genre, period and individual recordings offer useful ways into the work.

Listen for how Shibuya-kei shape rhythm, voice and arrangement. A starting path includes “Airplane”, “On the Sunny Side of the Street”, “The Night Is Still Young”, “クエスチョンズ”. Then move to “This Year’s Girl” and “Overdose” to hear how recordings are organized in a release context.
