Coconut Sable Cookie Based Japanese Junior High School Girls Band 5572320 Video





You will understand the random sounding post title momentarily.

五五七二三二〇, or in English I guess it would be “5572320” is made up of 8 Japanese junior high school girls, 5 guitarists and 3 drummers. The band was formed… get this… in order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of ココナツサブレ (Coconut Sable Biscuits) which are admittedly pretty tasty. (Eventually it was revealed that 五五七二三二〇 was actually 私立恵比寿中学 AKA Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku AKA Ebisu Private Junior High School.)

Their latest single is out now and very heavily Queen influenced. You can also see Nissin Cisco’s Coconut Sable biscuit prominently featured.

The numerical name of the band is a rendering of the cookie’s name “Coconut Sable” or “kokonatsu sabure” in numbers.

Here is the video for 5572320’s most recent (and second overall) single “POMPARA PEKOLUNA PAPIYOTTA”. For this song they are also backed by Kenken from Rize, Hideki Aoyama, and Tsuneo Imahori:

Suddenly in the mood for some of them coconut cookies…?.. I guess?.. maybe the chocolate covered ones.
