| | Peek-Ara-Boo CD (2003)
 $13.39 
Haco has a wonderful voice and a gift for melody, whether it's on more traditional sounding tunes like "Yachiyo View" or avant pop material like "DJ Hashimoto." The production is wonderful, and while there's plenty of ear candy, the album is never busy sounding or overdone. The second half of the album takes a bit of a mellow turn, but all of it is interesting. Sachiko M has been replaced by percussionist Era Mari, with Yagi Michiyo continuing on koto (and prepared shamisen on one track) and Haco doing vocals and damn near everything else. Recommended to fans of experimental avant pop. Hoahio return after their wildly successful album Ohayo! Hoahio! with a slightly different lineup for Peek-Ara-Boo.

| Ohayo! Hoahio! CD (2000)
$13.39
Nothing you've ever heard before. What does it sound like? Layered vocals and samplers entwine with the koto in patterns and melodies that create pure bliss for the listener. Hoahio features the outrageously talented Haco from Japan's near legendary band, After Dinner, the koto stylings of Yagi Michiyo, and Otomo Yoshide collaborator Sachiko M., who does all kinds of strange, wonderful things with keyboards, samplers, and the like. Given the prominent place of the koto, there is a folksy quality to the proceedings, but that doesn't mean this is folk music -- far from it. Instead, it's a dreamy, drifty kind of Japanese pop that owes nothing to American or Brazilian music for a change. Forget Shonen Knife -- this is the real weird deal. This is the wildest of the girl groups to come out of Japan. This music is adventurous; it takes lots of chances, but is very easy on the ears -- so easy it's seductive.
