The heart of Harpy is Kenichi Ito (who was in Aburadako) and Kyoko (who was in Kokushoku Elegy and OOIOO). This is a warped blend of Zappa anti-jazz and funk-punk orchestrated by lunatics on children's toys. And then there is the wonderful vocals of Kyoko coming across as a more weird Kate Bush with echoes of Elizabeth Fraser and Laetitia Sadier.
CD on Stupeur & Trompette! in 1999.

Long one of my all-time favorite groups from Japan. The music is so playful and humorous and weird. Must listen for everyone imo!! Thanks!!
