Banji Kaicho presents:
052: PIZZICATO FIVE
WHAT A YEAR IT HAS BEEN, and now all goes back to where it started. I mean, who am I kidding? This show will never be possible if not for Pizzicato Five. They have the biggest influence on the texture of sounds I look for, the subtle touches that turn good into gold, the possibilities of visual presentation through radio, and most importantly, how I compile and deliver the program, even with types of music that’s completely different from their own. Such is the magic of my favorite Japanese group of all time – There, I said it.
It’s the last episode of 2021 for christ’s sake, last one before our one year anniversary, and after the above confession, I have no other choice than playing a whole lot of Merry Pizzicato Five this afternoon. Thanks for keeping me company for the past 51 weeks. Sincerely, hope 2022 is 万事快調 = Banji Kaicho = Tout Va Bien = All’s Well!
