We thought the Michael Jackson fans amongst you might need a little cheering up after the recent trauma you’ve endured, especially finding out that your idol was buried without a brain in his head. That’s why we’re staging a Finger Five revival. Granted, it’s a little difficult to stage a revival of something that no-one’s ever heard of, but we’ll give it a go. Finger 5 was Okinawa’s answer (not that anyone had asked the question) to the Jackson Five. Copping their style more from the Osmond Family than the Jackson family, they still had some smooth flair-bottomed 70′s moves, and made enough of an impact in their day that they’re still being covered by J-Pop girl bands like Morning Musume. Check out Morning Musume’s version of Finger 5′s biggest hit “Koi No Dial 6700″ (featured in the clip at left). Although we haven’t actually checked it out, the best collection of Finger 5′s hits seems to be Finger 5 Best 10. In spite of Finger Five’s somehow almost disturbing name, it seems to be based on the fact that they also covered Jackson Five songs. Check out the audio clip below of their cover of “I Want You Back”. It might help erase the insidiously catchy “Din din dih-din, din din dih-din din, din din dih-din din dih-diddy-din din” from the clip featured here…
