I've kinda reached the age when waking up immediately begs the question about what day of the week it is. Sometimes, it takes me several seconds to figure it out for which I have to remember what I had done the day or night before. Such is the geriatric process.
Anyways, maybe that is the odd question that the duo naivepop or petitfool (and indeed, that is the name of this group) is pondering as well. "Tuesday tte Nanyoubi?" (What Day is Tuesday?) is a track from their October 2002 debut album "1, 2, 3...Darts!!". The indies band has a bit of avant-garde as they think about Tuesday through an arrangement of techno and reggae. I'd also say that there is an overall sense of dreaminess, emphasized by the vocalist's high-pitched voice coming through a gauzy filter.
To be honest, I first encountered "Tuesday tte Nanyoubi?" via the 2003 compilation "good compi - abcdefg * record" but was able to track down a YouTube video of the single song above. As for the group itself, I couldn't find out a lot about naivepop or petitfool but they were a Nagoya-based band which started up in 1998 and had their last activity in 2014 before presumably disbanding. From their website, there were another album and an EP in 2008. Hiromi Matsuda was the vocalist while Masahiro Nomura was on the instruments. I gather that the bunny hood for Hiromi and the horse head for Masahiro were part of the act.
The music mystery of the week! What happen to Hiromi Matsuda or what did she do after 2014?
