Profile

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.

Since their first CD release, they have been enjoying massive exposure on TV, radio, live events, all of which enhancing their talent and humanity.

Hailing from Kobe, acoustic guitar duo DEPAPEPE is the biggest up-and-comer of the year!

My Thoughts

Depapepe is a good band if you are looking for comtempory instrumental songs. Their songs have light, calming melodies. They tend to stick only to their two acoustic guitars, so there are times when it feels a bit repetitive. What Depapepe has accomplished so far is good, and I think they will continue to get better in the future :)
