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.
On Thursday March 31st, 2011, exactly 10 years after Pizzicato Five disbanded, Konishi Yasuharu announced a new solo project called Pizzicato One. The first release, titled One and Ten Very Sad Songs, consists of covers of English songs, each featuring vocals by various internationally-known artists from around the world.

そうよBABY

The lyrics of Pizzicato Five's song "恋のルール・新しいルール" (translated as "Love's Rules, New Rules") speak about the ever-changing nature of love and relationships. The song portrays love as a game with constantly shifting rules. The first paragraph introduces the idea that the rules of love always change, making it difficult to navigate. Despite the challenges, the singer expresses a strong desire to meet the person they love and continue experiencing the ups and downs of love and affection.
The second paragraph acknowledges that love is like a game that doesn't always go smoothly. The singer mentions Tokyo Tower, a famous symbol of romance in Japan, and how they made vows of love and commitment under its gaze. However, as the night fades and reality sets in, the rules of the game change once again. Despite the uncertainty, the singer hesitates to give up on love so quickly, feeling that it might be too early to do so.
The third paragraph reflects on the vulnerabilities and weaknesses that arise in love. The singer mentions that it is easy to reveal one's weaknesses and become exposed in love. However, they believe that there is a higher power at play, with the lyrics mentioning that "God" or fate may be smiling upon them as they continue to desire to meet their loved one.
The final paragraph reiterates the idea that the rules of love and relationships are always changing. The singer mentions feeling a sense of yearning and sadness, even comparing the pain of potentially never experiencing love again to wanting to bite their tongue and end it all. However, they make a phone call to their loved one in the middle of the night, hoping that maybe the rules will become clear in that moment. The lyrics express a belief that luck and destiny play significant roles in the outcomes of love, expressing confidence that fate and a higher power will smile upon the singer and allow them to meet their loved one once again.
