Five teenaged girls sing Abba-esque pop songs set to peppy 'Eurobeat' dance rhythms. The musical production is dense and detailed, and the Japanese lyrics are peppered with fractured English ("Tell me why final fun boy!"), performed in video clips to elaborate synchronised dance routines. What's astonishing is that Hyper Groove 1 is also one of the most transcendentally great pop albums ever made, right up there with Pet Sounds. It's like some kind of freak of nature. And lead singer AKINA had such a pure, nearly vibrato-less voice, and was so button-cute, that I am still kinda obsessed with her.

Excellent music. American music is simply not allowed to be this upbeat. Beautiful voices and wonderfully harmonized singing is like the trademark of Folder 5. If you love Jpop, this is definetly a must-have. Also, this is a very good study aid to help learn Japanese the way it is really spoken. Lots of my Japanese friends are big fans as well.

OK, I like Eurobeat style. And honestly, there are only two albums I've heard in my entire life that I like more than this one, and that's MAX's Maximum I and Maximum II.
But this album by Folder 5 is an absolute work of art. Every song is worth hitting the repeat button on! The lead singer Akina may only be 16 here, but her voice is extremely mature.
