The long-awaited analog release of 'ODDTAXI' by Skirt and PUNPEE, the opening theme of the TV anime 'ODDTAXI,' is finally here!Skirt is a self-described 'unhealthy pop' band known for it's refreshingly light yet slightly shadowed songwriting and band ensemble, earning widespread acclaim across professions, genders, and age groups. The project began in 2006 as the solo multi-track recording endeavor of Wataru Sawabe. In 2010, he launched his own label, Kaczka Sound, and released his first album 'S-O-S,' marking the true beginning of Skirt's full-fledged musical journey. In April 2021, Skirt collaborated with PUNPEE on the opening theme 'ODDTAXI' for the anime 'ODDTAXI'. Drawing from his extensive knowledge of comedy, Sawabe served as a judge for the finals of the UNDER 25 OWARAI CHAMPIONSHIP-a comedy competition for performers under 25-in September 2023, and also wrote the event's official theme song, 'Kitai to Yokan. 'In addition, he has contributed music to numerous animated works, films, and TV dramas. His exceptional songwriting skills have led him to write songs for a range of artists including Takashi Fujii, Kaede (Negicco), Toko Miura, and adieu (Moka Kamishiraishi). As a versatile multi-instrumentalist, Sawabe has also participated in live performances and recordings with artists he deeply admires, such as Spitz, Makoto Kawamoto, and Moonriders. Skirt continues to attract attention as both a band and the project of a wonderfully talented, genre-defying singer-songwriter. Active as both a rapper and producer, PUNPEE has released acclaimed albums such as 'MODERN TIMES' and 'The Sofakingdom. ' His diverse body of work includes contributions to a Red Bull TV commercial, the opening theme for the TBS show 'Wednesday's Downtown,' a remix of Hikaru Utada's 'Hikari -Ray of Hope MIX-,' and the track 'Time Machine ni Notte / Kazoku no Fukei' for the Sotetsu-Tokyu through line commemorative short film.
