MARGARET'S HOPE

A band on the small Blue Badge Label, with a big pop sound.  The female fronted band (vocals by Mayumi Hozaki) also features piano, two trumpet players, and the occasional flute.  Tight and professional sounding, the band's breezy, light, international pop reminded me of a Japanese Belle & Sebastian at times.  Their first album is coming out soon, so check out their website and the label for more information.
