Pizzicato Five's brand new album, released earlier this year in Japan under the title Pizzicato Five, is now available worldwide with a new title, a new cover, and three additional exclusive tracks.
Showcasing producer and impresario Yasuharu Konishi's wide-ranging musical, artistic, and theatrical talents, The Fifth Release From Matador is a paean to the pop styles and sounds of 1960s and 1970s Italy. From the Italian Modernist furniture, design, and clothing depicted in the lavish booklet and the press photos taken on location in Rome, to the go-go beats and smooth soundtrack backdrops in the music, the album pays tribute to the best-dressed culture of the past four decades. Singer/model Maki Nomiya conveys Konishi's vision with poise and beauty.
