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.

The lyrics to Pizzicato Five's song "I (All About Me)" speak about the singer's own personality, potentially in response to misunderstandings or judgments made about them. The first verse suggests that the listener may still not fully understand the singer, implying that there have been previous attempts to convey their true self. The following lines confirm the listener's current assumption that the singer is a woman, before launching into a series of self-descriptions.
The second verse lists a variety of qualities that the singer possesses, ranging from whimsical to selfish to dishonest. However, the following lines reveal that despite these less savory characteristics, the singer is still loved and forgiven. The song concludes by returning to the idea that the singer is "cute," which seemingly explains why they are both forgiven and loved despite their flaws.

The song was a revelation when I first heard it on their compilation album in 2019. Been a fan since.
