Her music career started in 1995 when she was asked to join The Brilliant Green, a pop rock band, as lead vocalist. In 1998, the group got their big break with the single, \u201cThere Will Be Love There.\u201d Tomoko\u2019s strong voice leads the light strumming guitar through a compelling song, which went number one after being featured in a TV show. The Brilliant Green continued to rise for a few years. After the release of <em>The Winter Album<\/em>, the group decided to pursue solo projects. And so there was Tommy february6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tommy february6 was a character created by Tomoko in the 2000s. She wanted to make synthpop, a far cry from the songs of The Brilliant Green, and combined her nickname, \u201cTommy,\u201d with her birthday to create a pop alter-ego. Her music and appearance were the epitome of cute. The title of her debut album, <em>Strawberry Cream Soda Pop Daydream<\/em>, paints a good picture of the impression Tommy february6 initially made. Her songs focused on love and candy, and she wore bows, preppy skirts, and glasses. But Tommy february6 had core, fictional traits outside of just aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The character of Tommy february6 suffers from alcoholism. In her music videos, she takes swigs from a flask and drunkenly stumbles around a fuzzy pink carpet. Harsh words are wrapped in love songs. The lyrics of \u201cChOOSe mE or Die\u201d cheer, \u201cIf you don&#8217;t say you love me \/ I&#8217;ll kill you \/ Tell me your answer choose me \/ Or die.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomoko explained in interviews that Tommy february6 was all about making her imagination come to life. She wanted to play a part unlike herself: a teenage perpetually drunk J-Pop idol. While watching a cheerleading competition on TV, Tomoko found herself crying at how sad she was in comparison. As Tommy february6, she surrounded herself with cheerleaders and danced with a smile. Tomoko said this would hopefully offset her \u201cpersonality complex.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time she thought of Tommy february6, Tomoko had an idea for another character. Tommy heavenly6 was february6\u2019s \u201cdark side.\u201d They would be mirror images, sisters, so similar yet with such different personalities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple of years into Tommy february6\u2019s career, Tomoko became unhappy with the perception of the character. People seemed focused on the surface level and ignoring&nbsp; the character\u2019s complexity. The point of playing Tommy february6 was to be dancing with Sanrio characters <em>and<\/em> shooting the head off of a cheerleader. In a rebellion against this, Tommy heavenly6 made her debut, and the dark side took over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After taking a swig of her pink, faux fur flask in the music video for \u201cLove Is Forever,\u201d Tommy february6 passes out on the floor. Tommy heavenly6\u2019s debut song and music video, \u201cWait Till I Can Dream,\u201d released the same day. As the video begins, a hand picks up february6\u2019s flask, and the song begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tommy heavenly6 is a pop punk artist with heavy eye makeup and dark, slouchy clothes. Her music heavily uses electric guitar and Tomoko\u2019s deeper vocals. The song titles similarly paint an image; \u201cstay away from me,\u201d \u201cmy bloody knee-high-socks,\u201d and \u201c+gothic Pink+\u201d evoke the rock look of Tommy heavenly6. She retains a sort of romance from february6, but tells us clearly this is a different take on it. In \u201c+gothic Pink+\u201d she sings, \u201cHello, welcome to my dark side \/ Why don&#8217;t you have a picnic there?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lyrics of Tommy heavenly6 are not much different from february6\u2019s. Both write about love and stray into darker themes. The difference is all about aesthetics and sound. Tommy february6 is the squeal before the crash that is heavenly6. They are polar opposites, but equally enjoyable. Tomoko navigates both genres with ease, and released music under both names for years. The only way for one to exist, she realized, was for the other to as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been over 10 years since Tomoko has released new music under any name. While it is unlikely that she will revive either Tommy february6 or heavenly6, she left them both with a robust discography. The songs, so entrenched in their \u201cside\u201d of a music genre, are universal nonetheless. It\u2019s easy to admire the dueling sounds and aesthetics in equal amounts. Individually, the two Tommy\u2019s have made so much good music. I count myself lucky to live in a world where we have both; the perfect balance, february6 and heavenly6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tomoko Kawase has gone by many names.
