Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra

In 1985, the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra (東京スカパラダイス) was started by Asa-Chang, starting with a Ska sound unlike that of the main scene, owing to a group of more than 10 people who charged out from Tokyo's underground scene and showed innovation that the Japanese music scene was aroused by. The band, whose contracted name is Skapara, has done tons of live performances in the streets and clubs of Tokyo.

Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra is a special ska band standing out among the ska bands around the world, and musical performers who contribute many aspects of their music like authentic ska, jazz, and rock to their sounds, referring to their genre as Tokyo Ska. Many overseas artists and music industry people have always been eager to buy their records while staying in Japan. Needless to say, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra has been a great longing for ska music lovers from all over the world.

The Skatalites invited them to join their US Tour, saying "I would always be available for them."

Skapara has collaborated with several vocalists outside of their band, including Shiina Ringo, Yusuke Chiba of Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, Takao Tajima, and Tamio Okuda.
