Lover Callots -- Lover Callots no Theme（ラバーキャロッツのテーマ）

 

Always keep searching in that underwater 90% of that J-Pop iceberg since you will come across some riches. 

I found one recently and it's called Lover Callots（ラバーキャロッツ）, a band that was centered around the core of vocalist TAMAc and bassist GURI. They had their run between 2002 and 2005, and according to their J-Wiki profile, they specialize in pop and jazz. The band released four singles and two albums.

From their November 2003 debut album "Oshare Quest"（おしゃれクエスト...A Stylish Quest） is the first instrumental track "Lover Callots no Theme" (The Theme for Lover Callots), and it may be short at a little over three minutes, but it really does give a fine introduction to the guys. Everyone gets their time in the sun to shine with some of their jazz instrumental improvisation but I also can't help but get some of that Shibuya-kei feeling in there, too. In addition, the way that it's recorded with the brief horsing around in the first several seconds and the yell of "We are Lover Callots!", it also sounds like the band was actually performing a live gig somewhere in some stylish club in Daikanyama or Shimo-Kitazawa.
