Twiggy Twiggy
1991 · Columbia
Ranked No. 1 in Shibuya-kei
Maki Nomiya deadpan over a bossa rhythm, strings and a break. The group that defined the whole look and sound, and knew exactly how arch they were being.
Sweet Soul Revue
1993 · Columbia
Ranked No. 4 in Shibuya-kei
A Philadelphia soul arrangement, a Tokyo vocal and an advertising campaign. Shibuya-kei was always comfortable being commercial and never pretended otherwise.
