Miho Hatori

" *"Miho Hatori":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miho_Hatori* is a singer and songwriter, primarily known as the vocalist of the New York City group Cibo Matto. While Cibo Matto was touring with Beck, Miho and Beck guitarist Smokey Hormel discovered a shared love of bossa nova and samba, which eventually resulted in their Brazilian-styled musical project Smokey & Miho. In 2001 Miho contributed vocals for the band Gorillaz as "Noodle". Other artists she has worked with include Handsome Boy Modeling School, Stephin Merritt's The 6ths, The Baldwin Brothers, The Beastie Boys, Blackalicious, Greg Kurstin (Action Figure Party), and John Zorn. Miho has also performed solo and on October 21, 2005 her first solo album, Ecdysis was released in Japan (2006 for USA & Europe)".If you fancy a bit of *"Shibuya-kei":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibuya-kei* , samba and bossa nova while watching a gorgeous vid, I strongly recommend this:

Anna says I was so mesmerized by that video. The music isn't my usual cup of coffee, but I got completely sucked into it. Glad you felt so, too! :)

Dale says I do love me some Cibo Matto and a bit of Pizzicato Five, especially when they get their lounge on, so this went down nicely. The video was gorgeous as well. Well spotted, sis! :-*
