Orange Pekoe (オレンジペコー) is a Japanese Jazz duo consisting of Tomoko Nagashima (lyrics, and all vocals), and Kazuma Fujimoto (guitar, composition, arrangement and programming).

The two first met through a university music club and started a band with other students, but soon broke off and started work as a duo.

They made big waves throughout the Japanese indie scene before being signed to BMG Records. Their first major label single release (Happy Valley) remained at #1 on radio air play charts for nearly two months. Organic Plastic Music sold over 300.000 copies, and reached #5 on the Oricon charts.

I love jazz but I don't listen to much, the closest I come to jazz is through Shiina Ringo and Tokyo Jihen which is still fricking awesome, but this, this is AMAZING! So easy to listen to, I love this duo, I wanna hear more of their stuff.

When I first hear Tomoko's voice I thought it was Miwa-chan of DCT（笑）

...It would be so sad if they are not making any more albums :(. They've done fusions so well that they've re-defined anything that is intellectually 'creative' in the world between J-Jazz and JPOP. Another one-of-a-kind vocals next to signora Nakashima Mika...
