are a six-piece group formed in 1999 containing
Kate Pierson (of
The B-52s), bassist
Mick Karn (of
Japan), vocalist
Yuki Isoya (of
Judy and Mary), Takemi Shima and Masahide Sakuma (both of
The Plastics), and Steven Wolf, the session drummer. Masahide composed most of the music with input from Pierson and Yuki who also wrote the lyrics. From the 30-second opening track, which starts with ominous techno music and ends with Yuki and Pierson exclaiming "Hello everybody nice to meet you we're NiNa," the band's eponymous and only album is very diverse.
