Life and career
After bassist Shunsaku Okuda and guitarist Ryo Matsui saw her perform in an amateur talent competition, Kawase was asked to perform in The Brilliant Green as the lead vocalist. The non-album singles "Bye Bye Mr." was one of The Brilliant Green's first two albums. "Goodbye and Good Luck" and "Main" were two of Mug's popular hits, with moderate success. They gained fame in 1998 when their third single, "There Will Be Love There," was chosen as the theme song for the popular Japanese drama Love Again, and as a result, they climbed to the top of the charts. They released their self-titled debut album in just two days after scoring another top-one hit with "Tsumetai Hana." The "There Will Be Live There," the country's first national tour, sold out in just three minutes.
In 2013, Kawase began releasing music from all her personas in honor of the Brilliant Green's 15th anniversary.
Kawase joined DefStar Records in 2001 and began her solo career under the name of Tommy february6 (named after a combination of her name and birthdate) with "Everyday at the Bus Stop." Tommy february6's persona and sound are heavily inspired by British and American 1980's synthpop, as well as a sle of "Since Yesterday." Kawase's initial intention with Tommy february6 was to create a character that was far from innocent, yet cute in both sound and appearance; Tommy february6 was designed to be someone who was true to her emotions despite the cutesy appearance of her outward appearance and did as she desired (and as such, Tommy february6 is seen repeatedly in music videos drinking alcohol from flasks, bars, etc.) Kiss One More Time was Kawase's second single under the name, and his third single under the name was "Bloomin'."
