dip in the pool was formed in 1983 by Tatsuji Kimura and Miyako Koda. They soon earned a reputation in the subculture scene because of their unique sense of music and fashion, and in 1985, they debuted in England on the Rough Trade label, in other European countries on Virgin Records, and on Alfa Moon Records in Japan. Since then, they have been true to their own style, which is an exquisite combination of sensitive and minimalist tracks by Tatsuji Kimura and of pure floating voice of Miyako Koda.
