Plus-Tech Squeeze Box

Band, *1997 JP
Electronic and Pop
A.k.a. Tomonori Hayashibe, Takeshi Wakiya, Junko Kamada

The frenetic sound of their first album FAKEVOX (2000) is an example of the subgenre known as picopop, driven by rudimentary synthesized sounds and heavily-manipulated samples from a variety of sources, including 1950s jazz and big band recordings. Their second album, CARTOOOM!, was released in 2004. Junko Kamada, the vocalist on the first record, is conspicuously absent, having parted ways with the band. Instead, sampled vocals and a variety of guest singers are used. They have been featured in British Coca-Cola commercials; on the BBC Three show Adam and Joe Go Tokyo and on the OST to The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. Also their song Early Riser was used in a TV advert in the UK for Powerade (energy drink). They also wrote and recorded the theme tune for the cult cartoon Pucca. (source: Wikipedia)
