Konishi Yasuharu (Pizzicato Five) is a pianist! Maezono Naoki Group started performing late 2008 and has been releasing small-sized magazines irregularly. Finally here's a first album, but be aware that it's vinyl only (no CD anyway). If you're interested at all, better be safe than sorry and pre-order early at Jet Set, as this is being released only in a limited number.
Don't miss the group's first videoclip below, for the song "Tokyo no machi ni yuki ga furu hi, futari no koi wa owatta." that could previously be heard on the "uta to Guitar. Piano. kotoba." compilation from columbia*readymade, sung by Mizuno Mari (Paris Match).
