While I can't return to the 90s, I'm at least trying to reconstitute the CD collection that I sold off for beer money back in college. Today, I welcome Pizzicato Five's Made in the USA compilation back to my collection, and it only cost me $2.99!

Edit: Fun fact - it was a grey, cloudy morning today. But when I played the song, suddenly the sun came out! ☀️

[This guest post was written by wbwolf about number 91 on The List; the album was also submitted by wbwolf. Note: This review lists Japanese names family name first, following Japanese convention.]
1994 was a momentous year for Pizzicato Five, and Shibuya-kei in general. The band originally started as a quintet, but quickly became a quartet. Their first two EPs were produced by Haruomi Hosono in the mid 80s, in the twilight years of city pop. They were signed by CBS/Sony in 1987 and released three albums, changing vocalists and becoming a trio along the way. The CBS/Sony albums took their cues from 1960s soul and sunshine pop, full of Burt Bacharach and Roger Nichols pop hooks, filtered through French soundtracks and Japanese sensibilities.
But when the CBS/Sony dropped the band in 1990, the core duo of Takanami Keitaro and Konishi Yasuharu changed labels, Columbia, and found another vocalist, this time Nomiya Maki. She had also been around the music scene for a while, releasing a solo record in 1981 and was lead vocalist for Portable Rock. But along with a new vocalist, a new sound started to develop that was part of the transformation of city pop to Shibuya-kei. The name came from the ward in Tokyo that at the time was the focus of trendy music and fashion. Decidedly 90s sounds of house music was added to the mix. The growing scene caught the attention of international labels.
So, in 1994, Pizzicato Five released their first international release, cheekily titled “Made In USA” after a Godard movie. But at the same time, Takanami Keitaro left the group to pursue a solo career. So it was now the duo of Konishi Yasuharu and Nomiya Maki put out “Overdose” in October 1994.
The cover of the album really sets the stage; Nomiya Maki in a 60s style black blouse and mini skirt, sitting on the Brooklyn Bridge and holding an apple. This was the first of a series of albums that would use a city as a touch point for the rest of the album, with New York serving as an inspiration for “Overdose”. Soul inspired arrangements of “Happy Sad” or “On The Sunny Side Of The Street” reside besides the rap in “Statue of Liberty”. “If I Were A Groupie” uses samples from a 1969 documentary record “The Groupies” as a bed.
But to me, the real centerpiece is the epic nearly 11 minute house mix of “The Night Is Still Young” (aka 「東京は夜の７時」). The song was originally released in 1993, but this was the first release on an album, using a new remix (known as The One Year After Mix). The song has since gone to be a signature song for Pizzicato Five and Nomiya Maki, but this particular mix that is a bit slower but funkier than other versions. It really feels like one is out on the town in the evening, anticipating what is ahead.
This album was the start of my love of Pizzicato Five and exploring wider Japanese music. I had heard of the band and was curious, but during a year abroad in Japan 1994-1995, I got a copy of the album from a CD rental shop and loved it. I wanted to find more. Tracing all the connections and influences back has really colored my own musical tastes to this day. It has opened up a rich world of music.
