Released on Monday, Sep 7 2009

And make no mistake, their debut single sounds like a chart invader. With its swooning chorus, inventive, disco-tinged production and lyrics that sound great even when they don't quite make sense, 'Left My Heart In Tokyo' is vintage Xenomania. As for Mini Viva themselves - Britt and Frankee, in case you were wondering - they show enough girlish sass to suggest they're more than just faces for a group of pop tunesmiths. A group of really good pop tunesmiths, to be precise.

OMG, am in love with this song. It's different, got qaa catchy chrous and the second verse is in a differnet style to first which really pulls this song to make it an instant classic, the part where it ends then just goes to the last verse intill the chrous is repeated till the end is very funky and i have my fingers crossed for top spot. currently number 7 in midweeks, get off it's some how being beaten by pixie lott and mika. defiantly in my top 10 best songs of the year and it is the second best single released this month behind the veronicas - 4ever.

Completely awful. Painful. Dreadful. Unbelievably terrible.
Kinda of annoying but I like it.
r they english?? or american
Been listening to this for months. Love it. Hope all the remixes are released too!
One of the best pop records of the year, unsurprisingly.
Love this song- it's so catchy and enjoyable to listen to. It's going to be a hit!
I'm not sure ripping off disco and funky house is 'inventive' but there you go. Not bad though.
I love this song so much it really cheers me up and it gets me dancing. The girls are really sweet and the video is cool too. A top 10 hit is guaranteed.
are you people crazy!!!!!! they are rubbish!!! they have the most annoying voices and the song is a pile of rubbish!!!!!!! what a flop!!!
Xenomania have done a superb job on this, the production is so slick and unlike anything else around. that does overshadow the 2 girls a bit in my opinion, but to be honest not many of us will know much about them yet anyway. still, they don't do badly on this song or the video at all. hopefully we'll see them doing promotional stuff so we get to know more about them, but this is a fantastic debut and i'm very interested to hear future stuff from them now :)
One of my guilty pleasures
Lol you must kidding people and Nick 4 stars? I can't believe it :o This is one of the worst songs of 2009 and I'm glad they quit singing and I totally agree with Dingo, Jade, Tony and the (2) Bens
