Few Japanese groups know optimism as well as Negicco, whose retro-tinged pop overflows with upbeat vibes. Formed in 2003 to promote a special type of onion from their home prefecture of Niigata, the all-female trio quickly graduated from agricultural spokespeople to pure pop idol outfit, enduring many ups and downs during that unique transition. Yet Negicco's chiming style and ability to draw from genres such as Shibuya-kei and disco won over listeners, as did clever songs and a willingness to poke fun at J-Pop culture. Showered in bubblegum cheer, Negicco are dedicated to brightening your day.
