Keigo Oyamada, tokyo resident. born about 25 years ago.
released several records with the band 'Flipper's Guitar'. at age 21 he
produced pizzicato five's 'Bossa Nova 2001' one of their best albums. as
Cornelius he's released 4 albums (not very sure). all of them are a
perverted view of the world of a rock star. Cornelius is also the owner
of super cute japanese indie label 'Trattoria'. They have a web site,
etc etc (easy to find with any search engine).
i don't know which video u've seen but it's probably 'Starfruit
surfriders'. no, not the rest of the cd is like that. there are more
poppier parts and others with more guitars, but the wickedness is the
same. i don't know if Cornelius appears on the video but probably he does
(remember, he's a rock star :P ). as a curiosity, that single was
released in japan last summer in a special 2x12" format. One with
Starfruit and the other with Surfriders. U had u play them on two
turntables with a mixing desk to get the whole song...
that's all!!
