Wow, I like P5 fairly well and have never even heard any of the stuff in part 1 of your review! I suppose parts 2 and 3 are where all of my listening history fits.Смотреть что такое "Pizzicato five" в других словарях: I didn’t want to my own nostalgia for a song to make it sound better or worse.įor you, would you say that you like the first four albums BUT would you say you like them better than the top ones like Bossa Nova 2001? One of the main points of this exercise is (1) to relatively weigh these albums against each other (2) listen to them from a 2016 first-time listening POV where I could. I will relisten to it as “3 ft High and Rising Japan version” and see if that improves it. (Actually I like all the first four albums for various reasons.)

I like SLOTM because it shows the first direct influence of cut’n’paste albums like De La Soul’s “3 Feet High and Rising,” which then returns full force for “This Year’s Girl”. I’ll have to re-listen to On/By Her Majesty’s Request… it’s been a long time. World Standard, Couples, This Can’t Be Love…great! I would agree though it is atypical of their later sound though so I could understand your feelings.

I would say it is the strongest Tajima album, but only a few tracks. One quick anecdotal thought: I really don’t like “Bellissima!” (from my 1998/2016 perspective of what P5 “should” sound like) but the album seems to have been very popular with Japaense Gen Xers. I’m sure it sounded like slightly cheesy pseudo P5 BGM in the show. I think there’s a reason why Hi Guys was listed awkwardly on the cover as “Takanami Keitaro orchestra & combo a/k/a Pizzicato Five” :) Would be nice to know how it was used in context of the show though David Marx (Marxy) - Tokyo-based writer and musician - is the founder and chief editor of Néojaponisme. (B-) - Music gravitates back to Konishi’s strengths, but scattered Lowlights are the Tajima-penned funk-lite. offer a fun suite of songs under fake film soundtrack “Except from the music for film ‘EROTICA Operation,” and then “Satellite Hour” makes club pop from Fairlight vocal samples - thanks to a guest duet with future singer Maki Nomiya.

“Bellissima ‘90” and “T V A G” are both solid J-pop songs with rock footing, and the latter brings back a few New Wave elements plus a Buffalo Springfield melody reference. There still may be too much vibraphone, but synthesized beats replace the jazz drumming to reintroduce a sense of speed. The opening instrumental track “Holiday for Audrey H.” achieves this through trumpet solos and hyper-speed harpsichord, foreshadowing their later work. Konishi felt that Bellissima! was “too serious,” so on the second album with Tajima, the mission was to keep the male singer but bring back the levity of their past songs. (B+) - A dated Eighties sound, but an auspicious start On the brighter side, Hosono also brought us the delightfully wispy synth lines that carry both the Simon & Garfunkel cover “The 59th Street Bridge Song” and the vaguely-Hawaiian “Let’s Go Away for a While.” But no matter how solid the songs, the production never emerges from the gray fog of early 1980s New Wave. (No organic instruments were harmed in the production of this record.) The title song would function well as background music in a B-grade American 1980s film where the protagonist is walking town feeling tortured. And as such, producer Hosono Haruomi (of Happy End and Yellow Magic Orchestra) roughed up P5’s dainty vocals, dainty melodies, and references to dainty 1950s cinema icon Audrey Hepburn with clackety drum machines, dissonant piano chords, and proggy structural complications. Pizzicato V debuted as one of many “YMO children” on the Non STANDARD label.

This is part two of a five-part series, covering the band’s first eight releases. David Marx listened to every single major release from legendary Shibuya-kei band, Pizzicato Five, so you don’t have to.
