Shonen Knife cover the Carpenters and for a brief, shining moment all is right with the world



Love both the guitar playing and the way her accent makes the lyrics sound new. Wonder what these three are up to now.

They really were a really delightful band and this is a great song. The joy they take in making music is infectious.

Another Japanese girl band we like is Puffy Amiyumi. It's hard to find a video of them performing but this is a good one.
