Need help naming song - asian lyrics, female vocals, very early 90s?

The song may have been Japanese, but i can't be sure. I know it was in an Asian language, with female vocals. I believe it became somewhat popular in the states in the early 90s. I first heard it on alternative radio, I think Q -101 or WXRT, both are Chicago radio stations. I later seen the video on MTV of this band doing the song in question. If I remember correctly, it was 1 female and 2 males. I think the video was in B & W. Both guys in the video had thick gles, a sort of geek like appeal to it, much like the video by The Rentals, "Friends of P" or Boggle's, "Video Killed The Radio Star"...MTV even used parts of the song in some commercials for it's extreme sports segments. The song had an alternative pop style - beat-nik - almost 60s surf music sound, up-beat, very heavy on the percussion...almost a "Grove Is In The Heart" meets "Wipe-Out"... if there are any ideas, please let me know!
