Photos by G. Miho Hatori of Cibo Matto Cibo Matto , the Japanese acid jazz/trip hop band broke up in 2001. They've recently reunited and celebrated getting back together with a sold-out show at New York's Bowery Ballroom on July 18, 2011. The band's name means "crazy food" in Italian, so as you should expect, many of their songs are about food. Lead singer Miho Hatori's stories in between songs were absolutely hilarious. Of course, many of them were about food, but she addressed [...]
Cibo Matto fue una banda que obtuvo gran popularidad en los años 90 gracias a su combinación de jazz, hip-hop, música brasileña y africana, los samples (que también comenzaron a ser muy utilizados en ese entonces) y las voces dulces y etéreas de Yuka Honda y Miho Hatori . Sin embargo, hay que decir que la banda sólo alcanzó a lanzar con mediano éxito dos discos antes de su separación en el 2001, que se produjo, de acuerdo con Yuka Honda, por una simple necesidad de buscar nuevas oportunidades. De hecho, sus integrantes continuaron [...]
These two (Miho Hatori and Yuka Honda) Food lovin', Brooklyn based, J-Girls are back together after a 10-year break. Their debut album, 1996's "Viva! La Woman" was a delicious bland of trip-hop, rap, electro, funky, samba-ish beats. The fact that they could barely speak english at the time also added to their charm. While both being from Japan, they never [...]
Recommended Show: MONDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2010 MIHO HATORI & YUKA HONDA @ LE POISSON ROUGE 158 Bleecker St New York, NY 10012 $15, 7PM This unique show is being labeled as Miho Hatori and Yuka Honda cover Cibo Matto . Considering Miho and Yuka basically were Cibo Matto, is it fair to call this simply a Cibo Matto performance? Yo La Tengo @ Maxwell's Netherfriends @ Mercury Lounge Rev Vince Anderson @ Union Pool Rufus Wainwright [...]
A nifty little update for those attending Gorillaz 's October 27th performance at the Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles. As was the case for the band's recent performance at Madison Square Garden, the Damon Albarn-led outfit will be joined by the one and only Lou Reed, which basically means he'll walk out on stage for "Some Kind of Nature", play his guitar, sing a little bit, not smile, and then immediately leave. Still, cool regardless. An issued press release confirms that Miho Hatori, who sings on such Gorillaz tracks as "19-20003, will also [...]
The growing trend of webcasting a show can be as good as metric as any to judge if you want to shell out the cash to see a band live. With Gorillaz just starting off on their recently launched tour , their 45 min webcast and performance on Letterman last night might have been just the place to witness the live spectacle that is Gorillaz . Missed out? Well have we got a treat for you. On Letterman's show proper, Gorillaz performed only a snippet of what they played on the webcast, but they still [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News No strangers to breaking convention (and records, for that matter), it looks like Gorillaz have now, successfully, become the first band to ever make the leap from all-cartoon to all-star. Much like their victorious festival performances at Coachella and Glastonbury earlier this year, fans can expect the animated band to be augmented by an entire cast of special guests this October when their 'Plastic Beach' tour lands in [...]
If you've been a Gorillaz fan since the beginning, there is one thing that is sure to irk you about the cartoon band's recent live performances - the lack of songs from the self-titled debut. Plastic Beach and Demon Days get their due, but the album that spawned hits "Clint Eastwood" and "19-20003 is ignored, save for a version of the former that usually features prerecorded rap vocals. Del the Funky Homosapien , who wrote the lyrics and recorded the original vocals for the track, has never performed it live [...]
Jeremy from Fingertips joins us each month as he scours the betterPropaganda archives, highlighting gems buried a few years back in our database. This week we bring you "Barracuda" from Miho Hatori . Born in Tokyo, transplanted to Manhattan in the '90s, Miho Hatori became known later in the decade as the singer in the experimental duo Cibo Matto, which combined facets of trip-hop, rock, and Latin music in a vibrant multicultural mélange. On her first (and, so far, only) solo CD, Ecdysis , she emerged as a frisky-quirky eccentrically accented [...]
MUSIC NEWS - Our friends at Crawdaddy alerted us that they've gotten the OK from Chimera Music to stream the new SEAN LENNON album, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Undead , the score to the new vampire flick of the same name. Mostly instrumental, Sean recorded a big portion of the album on his own bedroom computer. The score features Kool Keith and Miho Hatori of the NYC group Cibo Matto on the track " Desire ." Give it a listen, here .
Japanese-Born, New York resident Miho Hatori has lent her voice to some of my favorite albums of all time. Her band Cibo Matto released two amazing albums and she has a knack for working with all the right people. She's been a guest vocalist on a few of Dan the Automator's side projects, including Gorillaz and Handsome Boy Modeling School, and is also a frequent collaborator with the Beastie Boys. She has such a sweet, dream-like voice, and her love of Hip-Hop makes for an interesting combination as she occasionally croons and raps simultaneously. She is as adventurous [...]
By Reverend Conan"Eclectic" must be Towa sans favorite word from the dictionary, seems as how he has made a career out of experimenting with so many genres and working with so many fantastic artists. I guess we can safely say that the Deee-lite association that he once had, has clearly rubbed off from his subconscious and we safely can say that he is standing proudly on is his own two feet.Big
Towa Tei , one of the leading figures in the Japanese electronic scene, has returned after a long hiatus with new single 'Mind Wall' . Considering he's a former member of Deee-Lite, I guess it makes sense that he recruited the help of another '90s alumni, ex-Cibo Matto Miho Hatori ! And the result is fantastic. I like the contrast of the rhythmic verses against the jazzy, laidback chorus, of the thumping drum-n-bass beats against the plodding piano keys. This kind of fusion might not be anything new, but it works perfectly. [...]

Selgus just, et Korea-Jaapani-New Yorgi nupugeenius Towa Tei on kodus vaikselt muudkui klõbistanud ja valmis on saanud tema stuudioalbum järjekorranumbriga 6. Plaadil nimeks "Big Fun". Väga tubli. Kuulame-vaatame sellelt plaadilt lugu, millel abiks Miho Hatori. Towa Tei feat. Miho Hatori - Mind Wall ( youtube ) Vapustavalt-vaimustava video lõikas kokku Takeshi Nakamura. Pildid joonistasid aga Hiroshi Hisashi ja Yuko Hasunaga Nicographicsist. Vähemalt ma arvan nii, Google Translate pole oma jaapani keele [...]
So its been announced that former Deeelite member and turntable wizard Towa Tei (born Chung Dong-hwa) will be releasing his 5th studio album, "Big Fun" which has a release date of 2009/02/04......or is it 02/04/2009? Or is 04/02/2009....Please forgive me for the lack of confirmation on said release date....I mean this was from his official website, which is in Japanese, and my Japanese is a
