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.
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.

When I was watching
The rain falling
Through the window
I suddenly
Realised
I love you
I love you so much
That I it makes me sad
I love you so much
That I want to die
I love you so much
That I hate you
Found my old agenda
Checked out
Your phone number
And then I
I called
You
I love you so much
That I it makes me sad
I love you so much
That I want to die
I love you so much
That I hate you
If this
Loving you thing
Is going to last
Till I get old
Always this painful
Everyday so painful
I think I'll feel
Lonely and sad
There's nothing
One can do about it
But it's sad
In the cinema
The film gets stuck
(stop)
Halfway through
And then suddenly
You too realise
That you love
Me
I love you so much
That I it makes me sad
I love you so much
That I want to die
I love you so much
That I hate you
If our love
Our mutual love
Is going to last
Till we get old
Always this peaceful
Everyday so peaceful
I think I'll maybe
Be happy
I don't mind but
I feel a bit
Uncertain

Holy $#it what a masterpiece. It might even be my favourite P5 album (so hard to choose)! Wow sounds even better than 1996. Konishi sensei is a genius. Timeless. No. It sounds like the future as well as disarmingly nostalgic. All Feelz.
