TsuShiMaMiRe is Japanese Girls Art Punk Rock Trio since 1999. Their style is electric, punk rock, free jazz, ska, surf and funk, mixing noisy and pop instrumental sounds with idiosyncratic, quirky, often funny or disturbing lyrics. They are one of the many bands to have become famous in the United States through the Austin, Texas South by Southwest music festival, and also through their performances at anime conventions, with the Suicide Girls, and at Benten Label’s “Japan Girls Nite” U.S. tours. In 2007 they were voted “Best All-Girl Group” by Shojo Beat magazine USA. In Japan they made a major debut in 2009 from Victor Entertainment. And then they have started their own label, Mojor Records in 2010. Their live performance is absolutely great. They are definitely one of the best live bands and also the most powerful all girl bands in Japan. They performed a lot of big rock festivals in Japan. (Rock in Japan Festival, ARABAKI Rock Festival, SUMMER SONIC , and more!) They collaborated many Japanese famous musicians. (Shigeru Izumiya , ROLLY , ULFUL Keiske from ULFULS , Yohito Teraoka,Sachiko Kobayashi and more!) And Wim Wenders recorded their show in Tokyo. Also They made a theme song of “POWERPUFF GIRLS” (cartoon network) for Japan. Their 11th Album was released in Oct 2015. They had tours in U.S in March to April and October 2016. (23 shows & 18 shows) They had a tour in South Korea in June 2016. (4 shows) And They had a first tour in Europe in December 2016. (16 shows) It included two big festivals in France. It was great. And Their next Europe tour will be on May to June. In 2017, Drums Mizue leave the band on February 10. Mari & Yayoi started new “TsuShiMaMiRe” with a new drummer Maiko! They never stop!
