Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her

Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her is a Japanese band formed by guitarist Aiha Higurashi in 1992. Beginning as a two-girl band in New York City with her friend Sachiko Ito, it was not until after they had played a few shows that the band got its name, which was lifted from the 1984 XTC song. Aiha returned to Tokyo solo in 1994 where she enlisted bassist and vocalist Nao Koyama and drummer Takaharu "Takape" Karashima. Karashima left the band after recording Pretty In Pink in 1999.

Peel seemed to have discovered the band in 1999, when they were performing at the Queen Elizabeth Hall with the Orbital, which was recorded for his show. He mentioned on his 26 May 1999 (BFBS) show after playing a track from them that they laughed at him after buying LP's from them:
"They gave me that when they did a concert in London recently which was recorded for my programmes here in Britain, along with a performance by Orbital. I went in to talk to them and to get these LPs from them, and as I was leaving they all laughed behind me, and it was one of those things where you think, "I know what you're laughing at!" They were presumably hoping I'd be a kind of romantic figure and not a fat little middle-aged man, but there you go. You learn to live with these things, goodness me."
He played several tracks from the group between 1999 and 2002.
