Kahimi Karie (2)

Tilt, also on Polydor was released in 2000 after another collaboration on the singles Journey to the Centre of Me with Momus and Once Upon a Time with OLIVIA Tremor Control. Karie released the cover album My Suitor in 2001, covering a range of obscure 70s and 80s bands including Dolly Mixture, Virginia Astley, The Lilac Time, and Berntholer. In 2003, Karie released perhaps her most fully realized work to date Trapeziste. Combining classical, ambient, jazz, and noise elements, Karie created a sound that was uniquely her own, and pushed her further away from the now confining Shibuya-kei stereotype. Montage, released in 2004, expands on the themes explored in Trapeziste. In addition to her releases, Karie has held several exhibitions of her art, penned several books, written extensively on European film and music, and created the theme song for the long-running animated television series Chibi Maruko Chan.In 2006 she releases the Björklike Album Nunki.This Lp is
more of a Soundscape.Her lates Output is is from 2007.Specialothers a Collection of
Coverversions & the DVD Muhlifein.

Kahimi Karie (1)

Undisputed "it-girl" during Shibuya-kei's bubbliest years, Kahimi Karie began her career as a music photographer. Tapped for a vocal performance on another album by her boyfriend at the time, Keigo Oyamada (AKA Cornelius), Karie turned in in impressive performance highlighted by her now trademark sexy yet naive singing style. Released in 1992, just over a year after her appearance on the Crue-L Records compilation Blow Up, Karie's first single, Mike Alway's Diary, was an immediate hit. Her name check of the El Records impresario and music journalist coupled with production by Oyamada landed Karie in Tokyo's hippest crowd, where she quickly rose to star status. She released her second single, Girly in mid-1994, which sold a healthy 70,000 copies - big numbers for an indie release in Japan. Karie released a string of singles over the next several years, finally releasing her first full-length, Larme de Crocodile, in 1997 on Crue-L. The album featured collaborations eccentric Scottish producer/songwriter Momus and Pizzicato Five's Yasuharu Konishi. Karie moved to Polydor for her next release, K.K.K.K.K., in 1998. Assisted again by Momus, French indie artist Philippe Katerine, and others, the album was a major hit. Earlier the same year she released a best-of collection entitled Kahimi Karie on the Minty Fresh label, and the sardonic One Thousand 20th Century Chairs on Polydor. 1999 saw the US release of K.K.K.K.K., this time on Momus's US label Le Grand Magistery.(Nippop)End Part.1

The new Millenium sees musical change.As Gakuji Matsuda composes the highly aclaimed Soundtrack for the Movie "Waterboys".Cubismo Grafico splits itself.One Part is still
the solo Project but in a more electronic way.The Other is Cubismo Grafico Five.A Group planned for Live Performances.The next release "Block Vocoder Diagram" shows the change with less samples,yet more playful sophisticated.Like Towa Tei,or Cornelius, Matsuda developes a new hybrid houselike Clubsound.2007 "Nuit" is the last release for
Cubismo Grafico so far.Matsuda's latest Project besides CB 5 is Frontier Backyard.Don't know much about them.Do You? Let me Know.I Miss Cubismo Grafico.

3 Maki Noyima Albums

Maki Nomiya is best known as vocalist for Pizzicato Five in the 90s, but her career as a vocalist stretches considerably further back. Nomiya released her first album, Pink no Kokoro, in 1981. The album saw limited success, and luckily for future fans, Nomiya's career as cookie-cutter Japanese idol was over soon after it started. In the late 80s, Nomiya joined new wave act Portable Rock. The band released two albums and several singles to some critical acclaim but limited commercial success before disbanding. Nomiya auditioned for Yasuharu Konishi's Pizzicato Five in 1991, one of the most high profile and successful acts in the booming Shibuya-kei genre, winning the slot as the third and ultimately most successful vocalist. Nomiya bloomed in Pizzicato Five, embracing and embellishing their unique synthesis of retro chic and cutting edge music, and making the band a favorite both in cool-conscious Japan and abroad, where they signed with indie stalwart Matador Records. Pizzicato Five disbanded in 2001, by which time Nomiya was a full-fledged celebrity and cultural icon, also gigging as model, designer, writer, and narrator in addition to her music. Nomiya released her first solo album, Miss Maki Nomiya Sings in 2000, while P5 was still active, following up with Lady Miss Warp in late 2002. Nomiya has also authored and been the subject of several books, mostly promoting her personal style and colorful history. In March 2004, she launched an original clothing line - Mini She by Maki Nomiya - and later the same year guested on m-flo's Astromantic along with the Crazy Ken Band. Summer 2004 saw the release of her third full-length, Dress Code, a concept album revolving around the theme of a Maki Nomiya dinner show, released in tandem with a book of the same name. In addition to performing and recording as a solo artist, Nomiya and former P5 chorus singer Rieko Teramoto perform as the kitschily entertaining Oui Oui. Although working at a slighly lower level of visibility than she enjoyed with Pizzicato Five, Nomiya continues to be a unique and innovative presence in the music and fashion worlds.(Nippop)
