In 2001, 川瀬智子 (Tomoko Kawase) (born February 6, 1975, in Kyoto, Japan) launched her solo career under the name of Tommy february6, a character named from a combination of her nickname and birthdate. Vastly different from the japanese rock / japanese pop sound of the brilliant green for which she is also lead singer, Tommy february6's persona and sound are that of a generic Stock Aitken Waterman style 1980s pop icon. Her eponymous debut album was released on the day of her 27th birthday.
