Review by buburayam Jul 11, 2004 (edited over 5 years ago)
Huge huge band which should deserve more popularity in Western countries. I don't know how big they are in Japan? Their music is... everything! A mix of cheesy japanese pop, rock, house, sixties french pop, trip-hop, jazz... They are very productive but i haven't listen a bad song from them. Listen to it and your life will be happier :)
Review by Anime_Gee Mar 30, 2004
This is my favorite Japanese group. It's really hard to classify their style of music, but lets just say that Austin Powers would be a very big fan of their sound. Yeah baby! YEAH!! They have a very groovy, pop like, electronic, downtempo, psychedelic, easylistening, bossa nova, jazzy sound to their music. It's totally hip. So yeah!! Even if you don't speak Japanese, pick their stuff up! It's way too COOL! (^_^ )
