Sounds Like: "...Next was Love etc., a Japanese pop rock band with a sound that you cannot compare to anything you hear on the radio or see on MTV. Lead singer Yasuyo has a very flowing and powerful voice...[She] had the audience in awe. Pianist Tsubasa was in a word, 'extravagant'. A mix of classical and jazz really makes her playing worth remembering and wanting to hear over and over. This band is one to place on my list of groups I want to see again."
