toddle

Toddle is led by Hisako Tabuchi – who is known as one of the most influential guitarists in Japan – a member of NUMBER GIRL who has miraculously revived in 2019, Bloodthirsty Butchers, and BiSH’s AYUNi D’s band PEDRO.

Hisako started Toddle right after NUMBER GIRL first broke up in November 2002. The band also comprises Ai Kobayashi (guitar and backing vocals), who played in Swarm’s Arm and supported Luminous Orange, and Noritoshi Esaki (bass), who plays in SiNE, played in RUMTAG, and supported Luminous Orange as well. They have released four albums.

Naive and innocent moods, fresh vocals, delicate ensembles of arpeggios, and energetic bass and rhythms characterize their music. It is precisely the ideal type of alternative pop.
