Overdose (オーヴァードーズ) is a 1994 album by Pizzicato Five. It was their first full length album after departing with founding member K-Taro Takanami.^[1] Setting a trend that would exist in later Pizzicato Five albums, Overdose is themed around a famous city, in this case New York City.^[2][3] Musically, the album delves in soul music, containing several references to Stevie Wonder.^[4] Overdose produced three singles: "Happy Sad", "Superstar" and "On The Sunny Side Of The Street". The song "Airplane" was later redone on the 1996 EP Sister Freedom Tapes, titled as "Airplane 96".^[5] The majority of 1995 compilation album The Sound of Music by Pizzicato Five was made up of tracks from Overdose and Bossa Nova 2001.^[6]
