In November 2002, Takuya 'Depa' Miura and Yoshinari 'Pepe' Tokuoka formed DEPAPEPE . From their native Kobe to Osaka to Kyoto, they gather a circle of people wherever they perform on the street. With only two acoustic guitars, they articulate imagined sceneries and emotions; their heartfilling, swinging sound and yearning melody provide a comfortable, enjoyable and highly compassionate atmosphere. Buoyed by the rapidly expanding instrumental music market, Tokuoka gives full play to his talent as melody maker, while Miura sensitively yet boldly embodies his emotions with help of his guitar.
