Unusual ingredients, great result

If someone had told me, "There's this infectious tune in which the band chants its name in the style of cheerleaders at the beginning and later in the song, you won't be able to understand any other lyrics because they're in Japanese, and there's a simultaneous present and past techno vibe to it," I don't think I would have thought, "Those are the ingredients of a song I'll play over and over."  Lo and behold, though, those elements work perfectly for Pizzicato Five on "It's A Beautiful Day."  I pulled out that gem from 1997 recently and was reminded that sometimes, it's possible to enjoy a song for the most unlikely reasons.
