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.

僕も渋谷系の中ではＰＩＺＺＩＣＡＴＯ ＦＩＶＥの評価が異常に高いです
他の渋谷系アーティストと違って大昔からずっと継続的に聞いてます
というか、ポップスの中ではＰＩＺＺＩＣＡＴＯ ＦＩＶＥが１番好きで、１番高く評価すらしているかもしれません
後、night is still youngがお好きなようですが、それならこの曲のシングルＣＤをお持ちですか？
このシングルのカップリングの、
night is still young talking tool mix
もとても素晴らしいです
というか私はオリジナルよりもこの、福富幸宏さんの手によるリミックスの方が好きです
よろしかったら聞いてみて下さい

22:25 Pizzicato Five - If I Were A Groupie
(Japanese narration part)
ほら、今テレビに出てる男の子。上半身裸できれいにお化粧して、芸の振り押して男の子。あの子は私昔からの知り合いなのよ。
今はプロデューサーになって活躍しているベーシストの子とか、そのバンドの甲高い声のボーカルの男とかいないはどうしてるんでしょう？皆私のことを夢中追いかけまして居たけれど。
もしも私がGROUPIEだったらそれはハイスクールのころに時々考えた、If I were a groupie, if I were a "you" girl, if I were a groupie, if I were a groupie... (I'm a groupie). It's a full-time thing because you have to be out 'til 4 o'clock in the morning! (I'm a groupie)
あの頃はいろんな女友達にできたけど、今は皆汚臭靴です。一番仲の良かった子はバンドのローディーの男のトラックに乗って夏の全国ツアーについてきました。
もしも私がGROUPIEだったら今頃はどこでだれと暮らしてるのかしら、If I were a groupie, if I were a "you" girl, if I were a groupie, if I were a groupie... (I'm a groupie, I'm a groupie).
そのころ私はもうすっかり顔化していつもバックステージから演奏みるようになっていました。一番すごい時と会場に入るヘリコプターに一緒の乗り込んだことがあって、あれが、私の人生のハイライトで…
If I were a groupie, if I were a "you" girl, if I were a groupie, if I were a "you" girl, if I were a groupie... yeah (I'm a groupie, I'm a groupie).
でも、最近はグルーピーになりたくなるようなアーティストはこれと言っていません。大好きなミュージシャンにはいって、相手皆早死にしてしまうものなのです。今皆が狙っているのは若い政治高背級オトカ多分そういうタイプでしょう？一晩中ホテルで浴びる程シャンペーンを開けて、[大沢に落ちた<?>]あの時代が懐かしいなんて私もずいぶんとおとしおとったもので。
もしも私がGROUPIEだったら, ooh, ベッドの中で時々考える、If I were a groupie, if I were a "you" girl, if I were a groupie, if I were a groupie... (I'm a groupie, I'm a groupie).
It's a full-time thing because you have to be out 'til 4 or 5 in the morning.
@zenchang-pw5qq
「Overdose」というタイトルが秀逸すぎます。これほど、中毒性の高いアルバムを出していたのに驚きです。今、80年代のCity Popが欧米で人気がありますが、このアルバムも近いうちに見つけられて、再評価されると思います。
@gben1968
このアルバム聴いて、ミュージシャンになる事を諦められました
自分の理想、作りたかったけど作れなかった音がこのアルバムにありました
小西康陽さん、天才

@zombiezombie5451
pizzicatoで一番好きなアルバム
１番ロックを感じるアルバム
具体的にどこが？と聞かれたらわからないけど、とにかく最初から最後まで聞いてアルバムトータルで感じる感触が「ドライ」で「ロック」なアルバム
@tomohas7036
やっぱこのアルバムが至高です。
東京は夜の7時もこのアルバムヴァージョンが好きすぎて。
