Collaboration: Sukima Switch

Sukima Switch is a J-pop duo consisting of core members Oohashi Takuya and Tokita Shintarou. Oohashi's musical duties include vocals, guitar, and harmonica while Tokita's duties include piano/keyboard, numerous other instruments and overall production. Most of the other instrumentation heard on their albums is handled by guests and studio musicians. In this sense, their band structure and chemistry are very similar to that of the American group Steely Dan.

Their style is very heavily-jazz influenced (another similarity with Steely Dan), yet it retains core pop elements and catchy melodies that have catapulted them into the limelight of Japan's new, sophisticated pop scene.

They met in 1999 when Oohashi was searching for an arranger, being impressed by Tokita they kept on working together, holding private lives and releasing inofficial music in the following.

July 9, 2003 they released their first official single together, a mini album "Your story" went on sale September 17 during the same year.
