Biography Despite the name, which literally means "Tokyo Boys", the band was founded in 1988 by Sasano, when she was still a student at Doshisha University in Kyoto. Sasano wrote all the lyrics and initially composed all the songs, though other members composed later songs. Their songs were often treated as a sort of idol-style girl pop. However, the band was heavily influenced by new wave music bands, such as U2 and XTC. They released their debut album on November 21, 1988. Over the years, they released five albums, two best-of-compilations, and seven singles. After the release of their final album on August 21, 1991, the band dissolved. The former members are still active in the music industry.
