From Wikipedia.com:
Pizzicato Five (often P5), a Japanese pop group best known to audiences in the west in their later incarnation as a duo of Nomiya Maki and Konishi Yasuharu. 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 2002.
