東京事変 (Tokyo Jihen) or ‘The Tokyo Incidents’ is a Japanese band created by 椎名林檎 (Shiina Ringo), after leaving her solo career. The band’s debut single, Gunjou Biyori, was released in September 2004.
Shiina had always wished to work with a band, and selected her band members while working on her last album, Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana. The tour band was first introduced as Tokyo Jihen during her Sugoroku Ecstasy tour, featuring guitarist ヒラマミキオ (Mikio Hirama), PE’Z keyboardist H ZETT M, drummer Hata Toshiki, and familiar bassist Kameda Seiji. Being part of a band allowed Shiina to both spread the work of creating music as well as tone down her public image. She says that many people thought she always dressed up as a nurse or had whips.
In July 2005, keyboardist HZM and guitarist Hirama left Tokyo Jihen. HZM returned to his duties as pianist for PE’Z and Hirama returned to his solo career. In September 2005, keyboardist Izawa Ichiyou (from Appa) and guitarist Ukigumo (from Petrolz) joined Tokyo Jihen to replace the former members.
Their official site is www.tokyojihen.com. (record label site) As hinted by its name, the band has a running theme modeled on ’60s Japanese pulp fiction.
