Bossa Nova 2001 by Pizzicato Five

Bossa Nova 2001 is the seventh studio album by Japanese pop band Pizzicato Five. It was released on June 1, 1993 by the Nippon Columbia imprint Triad. Following the house music-oriented Sweet Pizzicato Five the previous year, Bossa Nova 2001 signalled a return to the group's 1960s and 1970s-influenced pop style, mixed with elements of alternative dance. Bossa Nova 2001 is the last album to feature Keitarō Takanami on guitars, as he quit the group shortly before the release of their follow-up album Overdose. Several of the album's tracks were later featured on the US compilations Made in USA (1994) and The Sound of Music by Pizzicato Five (1995).
