Trivia / Pizzicato Five

• Breakthrough Hit: Twiggy Twiggy was this for the band, contrasting The '80s hit The Audrey Hepburn Complex, which was more as a One-Hit Wonder.
• Breakup Breakout: Both Nomiya and Konishi made solo careers as well other projects away from music.
• Completely Different Title:
  • "= 東京は夜の七時", which would translate as "7 O'Clock in Tokyo", was instead named "The Night Is Still Young".
  • Nine of the fourteen songs from Hi, Guys! Let Me Teach You got this treatment as well. For example, "6月2日の天気雨" (which would translate as "June 2nd Sun Shower") was instead given the English title "Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows".
• Follow the Leader: Pizzicato Five was one of the bands (if not THE band) that started the Shibuya-kei movement in The '90s until today.
• Hey, It's That Sound!: Apart of their singles, Pizzicato Five is known by extracts of their songs used for TV advertising and for some programs in TV and radio as jingles.
• Inspiration for the Work: The group is inspired by The '50s, not just the music, also the image of the band and the looks seems like coming from this decade.
• Post-Release Retitle: Pizzicato Five put out their third album On Her Majesty's Request in 1989. When they re-released it in 1995, the title was tweaked slightly to By Her Majesty's Request. This stuck around until it was issued on vinyl for the first time in 2018, and this edition retitled On Her Majesty's Request -Analogue Edition-.
• She Also Did: Apart of her solo career in music, Maki Nomiya also was part of Katamari Damacy OST and she's a model and designer.
• Similarly Named Works: They liked to invoke this deliberately, taking well-known existing song titles and writing their own songs around them. Their debut album Couples alone applied this modus operandi to titles including "My Blue Heaven", "They All Laughed" and "Everytime We Say Goodbye", and later on they repurposed titles such as "The Sound of Music", "I Hear a Symphony" and "On The Sunny Side of the Street".
• Throw It In!: The American voices stumbling over the band's catchphrase at the start of "Happy Sad": "A new stereosonic found... bam!"
