Several days ago, I received a comment regarding the Doopees' "Doopee Time", a mid-1990s example of plunderphonics using samples from the themes for "I Dream of Jeannie" and "I Love Lucy". The article itself was posted more than eight years ago, so getting that comment, I started wondering whatever happened to those Doopees.
Well, more than a decade later, the man behind Doopees, musician and producer Yann Tomita（ヤン富田）came up with a 2006 single called "Forever Yann: Music Meme 2" which consisted of four tracks starring Doopees and three other projects which involved him. The first track is Doopees' "Daijou-bu" (Everything's Gonna Be Alright) which strikes me as being the most conventionally pop track on the single according to what I've heard throughout the single with aspects of avant-garde and hip-hop. Written by hip-hop musician Kan Takagi（高木完）and composed by Tomita, "Daijou-bu" is about as reassuring a hammock-friendly pop song as it can be thanks also to a female vocalist that I have yet to identify. No plunderphonics to be found here.
