Tokyo Jihen was formed as Shiina Ringo’s backing band at first. Shiina came to think that she wanted to work with a band while working on her last solo album, Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana. She began looking for members of her backing band to support her solo tour “Sugoroku Ecstasy” in the Autumn of 2003. The tour band was introduced as Tokyo Jihen during the tour for the first time, featuring guitarist Hirama, pianist HZM, drummer Hata, and familiar bassist Kameda. The musicians she selected became the core of what would become Tokyo Jihen.
After the tour, she announced that she stopped her solo career, and that she was joining her backing band, “Tokyo Jihen” as a member of them.
