Is that not a Japanese all female band? If so, they were about in the early 90's?

Old Johnny P fave. Not something I'd choose to listen to now, but if you've never heard em before, worth exploring (along with a million other bands!!)

Their 'happy Christmas' is strangely addictive. Nb might have a different title.

Mika Bomb...

Christ, someone else remembers Mika Bomb? I've got a couple of their set-lists, one from the (then) Fleece & Firkin, Bristol, supporting Rosita, (who?), on 27 April 2000, the other headlining at Bath Moles on 27 July 2000.
Great little band, absolutely hyper, one of them, the guitarist, IIRC, kept hitting the ceiling in Moles; not too difficult when you're a tall European, less easy when you're a petit Japanese girl.
I'd dearly love to see Babymetal...
