Cibo Matto was ace. 'Sugar Water' is one of the true '90s alternative classics (and so is the video ). After the disband, both Yuka Honda & Miho Hatori continued to pursue their solo careers.

In 2002, Miho Hatori lent her vocals to a track by The Baldwin...

Filed under: Lists There's nothing like a good, sexy food metaphor set to music. In this realm, Cibo Matto (Crazy Food) reigns. They have songs about everything from Beef Jerky and Sugar Water to Chicken and Birthday Cake (which you can see an early, shrieky version of above).

He didn't want his name to get in the way of the rest of the talent, so he usually said it's his favorite band and he's just following them on tour.

Sure, Cibo Matto taught me how to know my chicken, but they are so much more important than that. Check out this amazing video of their tune “Sugar Water” and think for a moment how difficult it must have been to film.
