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.

All over your body
Make the light
Stronger

Your shoulders arms
And your fingers

The song Porno 3003 by Pizzicato Five is divided into three parts. The first part, labeled as "Music for Sofa," focuses on relaxation and deep breathing. The lyrics encourage the listener to close their eyes, take deep breaths, and let the musical vibrations penetrate the body. The relaxation session is set in a white lounge on a soft, beautiful sofa in space. The second part of the song is called "Galaxy One," where the lyrics describe a star exploding outside the window, and a powerful golden light is poured onto the body. Similar to the first part, the lyrics continue to encourage relaxation and deep breathing, urging the listener to feel the light penetrating the body and filling them with satisfaction. The final part, labeled "It's All Too Beautiful," emphasizes awakening the mind and the use of mind power to experience sensorial bliss. The lyrics encourage the listener to concentrate on their deep relaxation and use the power of the golden light to awaken their sexuality.
The song was released in Pizzicato Five's 1994 album titled "Made in USA." The track is 18 minutes and 12 seconds long, making it one of the band's longest songs. The song is considered one of Pizzicato Five's seminal works, and the band was widely known in the ‘90s for their innovative musical aesthetics.
The song's voiceovers were done by Issey Nishimura and Maki Nomiya, who were the lead vocalists of Pizzicato Five. The voiceovers were done in Japanese, and the lyrics were translated into English by Andrei Cunha.
The song's title, "Porno 3003," represents the idea of the future being pornographic. The 3003 at the end of the title refers to the future period in which the song's themes take place.
Pizzicato Five's "The Sound of Music by Pizzicato Five" heavily influenced the song "Music for Sofa." It is said that the song was inspired by the classic musical's iconic scene where Julie Andrews sings "The Hills Are Alive."
The album "Made in USA" was initially released in Japan before its worldwide release. It became the band's breakthrough album in the United States and earned critical acclaim worldwide.
The band heavily influenced the Shibuya-kei genre, a sub-genre of J-pop that emerged in the mid-’90s. Shibuya-kei's music blends pop, electronic, and jazz influences with contemporary culture.
The song "Magic Carpet Ride" by Pizzicato Five was sampled in Madonna's "Don't Tell Me" single from her "Music" album in 2000.
The genre-bending song "Porno 3003" was included in the soundtrack of the 2002 movie "Secretary" directed by Steven Shainberg.
The song's instrumental was later incorporated into the French electronic music duo Daft Punk's song "Robot Rock," which was featured on their 2005 album "Human After All."
Since the song is over 18 minutes long, there are no known chord progressions, and there is minimal instrumentation throughout the song. The focus is on the lyrics and voiceovers, making the song more like an audio experience rather than a traditional song.

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.
