the ocean 67,624 Posted December 25, 2021 Maybe one or two people on here have wondered who is the woman that I have photoshopped next to Lana in my profile pic? Or the 2 people situated in my signature? Well random person I'm glad you asked! pizzicato five ; the lanaboards thread part 1: @The Ocean who & why the f**k Pizzicato Five - aka my ultimate faves - was a Japanese group that in it's final formation consisted of Maki Nomiya (left) and Yasuharu Konishi (right). They were pioneers in the J-pop subgenre known as shibuya-kei, a style combining 60's chanson, ye-ye and 90's dance pop. Pizzicato Five additionally used a lot of samples in their work which has caused a lag in their music being uploaded to streaming services. (at my expense ) I'm making this thread because A. Their music slaps and I want to spread the word of Maki and B. The 60's/70's influences could strike a chord with the member base here. Any people experiencing The 90's TM might've heard their songs "Baby Love Child", "Twiggy Twiggy" or "Happy Sad", the former being used in a Futurama episode. part 2: discography Pizzicato Five released 13 albums over the span of their career, with the last 9 of them featuring Maki Nomiya on lead vocals. In addition, they also released 5 compilations intended for the US market through the indie label Matador. After the break up of the group, Maki Nomiya has since gone on to model (because she is the moment) and release new music; Yasuharu Konishi has gone on to write & produce for other artists as well as curate compilations of obscure material from the 50's~70's. part 3: where you can stream/download & ending Because of aforementioned samples as well as Japan loving to not make music available internationally, their music is withheld from streaming services WITH THE EXCEPTION of 4 recently released compilations (which IMO seem very haphazardly compiled). As much as I would love to, I cannot post any links to any full album downloads here because of Lanaboards rules. (I know that this is already known but I'm rephrasing because I'm not getting warning points or banned and that's that.) I will include streaming links & YouTube links to the (Maki Nomiya) albums that are available on those platforms in the spoiler below! Spoiler Albums This Year's Girl (1991) - YouTube full album video Sweet Pizzicato Five (1992) - YouTube full album video Bossa Nova 2001 (1993) - YouTube full album video Overdose (1994) - YouTube full album video Romantique 96 (1995) - YouTube playlist with available songs Sister Freedom Tapes ep (1996) - YouTube playlist with available songs Happy End of the World (1997) - YouTube playlist with available songs The International Playboy & Playgirl Record (1998) - YouTube playlist with available songs Pizzicato Five (1999) - YouTube playlist with available songs Çà et là du Japon (2001) - not available anywhere but it's not that bad cause it's their worst album Compilations The Band of 20th Century (1991-2001) - Spotify / Apple Music / YouTube Pizzicato Five On Demand (TAKANAMI keitaro Edition) - Spotify / Apple Music / YouTube Pizzicato Five On Demand (KONISHI yasuharu Edition) - Spotify / Apple Music / YouTube Pizzicato Five On Demand (NOMIYA maki Edition) - Spotify / Apple Music / YouTube @The Ocean approved playlist Spotify / Apple Music / YouTube And with this said, please either discuss the iconic music or call for my banning for creating useless threads in the music section. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
