You probably came here because of "Baby Love Child", but there's much more to This Year's Girl than Futurama notoriety. Arguably their best album next to Bossa Nova, Pizzicato Five show off their definitive sound here, and introduce their leading songstress Maki Nomitya to their party. This Year's Girl is a shibuya-kei classic, unifying everything the band has done in the past adding the sweet vocals of Nomiya to their mix. A fully-realized, thoroughly enjoyable effort from the group.
