Ni-Hao! produce the kind of multi-part vocal gymnastics and booty-shaking bass-rock that either delights or irritates depending on your margin of tolerance towards exuberant Japanese child-women.
The Kyoto-based all-girl trio were originally comprised of drummer Green Reo and bassists Red Ariko and Blue Yukari, also a member of Limited Express (has gone?). They released a clutch of mini-albums called Red and Blue on Seiichi Yamamoto's label Ummo Records before their full-length debut Gorgeous on Tzadik in 2005. This was followed by another mini-album entitled New-Hao! in 2006, in which the trio abandoned their bass-bass-drums set-up for a keyboard-driven pop direction.
In 2007, drummer Reo left the band and has since been active in ULTRA jr. Now reduced to a duo, Ni-Hao! are on an extended sabbatical while Yukari raises her new-born son.
