Chikuwabu was formed with EMMA(Vo) and Rihito Nozaki(gt) in 2005. EMMA sings freely like clouds in the summer sky with her mellow voice. Her singing recognized by famouse musicians and comporsers in Tokyo. Such as Juichi Sase,Tokuhide Niimi and Mishio Ogawa. Rihito plays the guitar. He plays the old swing Jazz guitar. He acquirs a good reputation as a guitarist. They perform at bars and live houses in Tokyo. Chikuwabu was named by Matsukichi,Who works at the bar.. in Setagaya-ku. They participate actively in the "Child Oasys Project" that was organized by Juichi Sase in winter,2008. "Chikuwabu" is one of ingredients of "Oden"-a Japanese traditional hot pot. It is a gluten product shaped like a thick tube, and it tastes like pasta. You can find Oden stands and simmering Oden pots in convenience stores during the winter. "chikuwabu"is not our most favorite food, but the word has a nice ring. And that's how we got our name.
