PIZZICATO FIVE TWIGGY TWIGGY MOVIE
Not quite Pizzicato Five, but after P5 broke up, Yasuharu Konishi put out a whole album of Disney's movie songs, titled Readymade Loves Disney.And of course, they made a cover of Lupin III opening theme, and later Konishi participated in the Remix Album Punch the Monkey! with various remixed songs from the anime.During a radio live in 1995, Konishi and Nomiya performed a live version of Kyu Sakamoto's "Sukiyaki".Cross-Referenced Titles: "Mon Amour Tokyo" and Tokyo Mon Amour", which are unrelated other than the titles.Dance Sensation: Various of their songs, especially Tout va bien (which comes the image of the page).Decade-Themed Filter: Various of their music videos have filters as if they were recorded in The '60s, The '70s or The '80s, depending of the song.Epic Instrumental Opener: The original 11 and a half minute version of Darlin' of Discotheque is instrumental for the first seven and a half minutes.The radio edit reduces this to about 30 seconds.

It was heavily edited and rearranged for inclusion on Pizzicato Five, and this version still clocks in at 7:41.
