"TSU SHI MA MI RE" is an original word created by the band members. Even Japanese people don't know the meaning but it sounds very Japanese, nostalgic and a little bit scary somehow. That is the "TSU SHI MA MI RE" world. It's quite hard to categorize their music style. It's unique, creative, original wired, funny, funky, cute and scary a little bit. It's the world of Fun Japanesque Rock as only Japanese Grrls can do. All the songs have great guitar riffs and heavy bass and skillful drum play. One of their song is about how "CAMABOCO(=fish dumplings) feels when they cooked as ODEN(a Japanese style hot-pot cooked at the table). Their debut album title song "Pregrant Fantasy" is released in USANov.1st from BENTEN TOKYO.
