After their successful tour of Japan and the inauguration of Mani Neumeier’s own wax figure in the Tokyo Tower Wax Museum in the fall of 1996, GURU GURU processed their Japanese impressions on their next album Moshi Moshi, originally released in 1997. The album, dedicated to their many new Japanese friends, features songs like ‘Jet Lag’, ‘Don’t Worry About The Koto,’ which incorporates Japanese themes, and of course the title song ‘Moshi Moshi,’ a GURU GURU classic still found on the band’s set lists today.
