After releasing their album "Çà et Là du Japon," which featured many guest vocalists and, strangely, a cover version of the Japanese-language Pokémon rap, Pizzicato Five officially ceased to exist on March 31, 2001.

Fans of the band would also do well to check out Fantastic Plastic Machine (a.k.a. Tomoyuki Tanaka) if they enjoy P5's Shibuya-kei style and are looking for (somewhat) similar music.
