Tommy february6

Tommy february⁶ is the original solo-artist project of Kawase Tomoko.  In 2001, Kawase launched her solo career under the name of Tommy february⁶, a character whose name  is a combination of her nickname and birth date. Vastly different from the Pop Rock sound of The Brilliant Green, Tommy february⁶‘s persona and sound are inspired by and derived from British and American 1980s synth-heavy pop. Her ‘february⁶‘ persona is known for her geeky look, cheerleader themes, strange habits, librarian-esque glasses, innocent personality as well as her love of flasks.

Tommy heavenly6

Tommy heavenly⁶ is meant to be the dark side and the alter-ego of Tommy february⁶. After a performance as Tommy february6 in 2003, Kawase Tomoko took off her glasses and donned a much more alternative look to create Tommy heavenly⁶, a brand new character with a modern rock sound that takes influences from punk acts. Kawase would later explain that Tommy heavenly⁶ was born from a dream that Tommy february⁶ had, in which she embraces all the elements of her personality she had previously been repressing. Kawase claims that the invention of Tommy heavenly⁶ occurred due to her disappointment in Tommy february⁶‘s character.
