time Towa was DJing regularly in Japan. He has admitted, though, that he doesn't enjoy performing and prefers producing and using computers. Big Fun, featuring Verbal and Mademoiselle Yulia, was released in 2009 and was the third album to feature the artwork of San Franciscan painter and graffiti artist Barry McGee. For the album, Towa utilized MySpace to collaborate with artists from around the world, even if he didn't know them, such as with German act Taprikk Sweezee. Another collaborator he worked with for Big Fun was Miho Hatori of Cibo Matto, though they also only met on MySpace. Towa has also established his own creative company, hug inc, which, among other things, manufactures his trademark sunglasses. Discography Future Listening!
