is a Japanese singer, musician and actress. She is one of the greatest influences on Japanese avant-garde music and media, and her career spans over 35 years. Her close friends over the years include Susumu Hirasawa. She was mainly active from 1981 with Guernica demos to 1995 with the release of HYS but is still making music as of now. Career After gaining attention a guest singer for the New Wave band Halmens and her acting roles in Japanese dramas and commercials for the Washlet, she began her professional music career in the early 1980s as a singer. In 1984, she released her debut solo album Tamahime-sama under the label of YEN records, containing themes of menstruation, womanhood, and romance with a recurring insect and pupa motif. The following year, she came out with album Suki Suki Daisuki, a satirical take on aidoru music. Although her eccentric personality and unconventional style prevented her from attaining major pop success, she survived as an influential and respected underground music figure both solo and as the lead singer of the Shōwa era-themed group Guernica (1982–89) with former Halmens member Koji Ueno and her most commercial project Yapoos (1984-1995 and occasionally since,) where she is particularly noted for her connection to eroguro culture. Over the years she has formed many temporary backing bands such as the Jun Togawa Unit to accompany her. Generally the differentiation between her self-named bands and the Yapoos is a greater degree of collaboration in the latter. Notable collaborators over the years include Haruomi Hosono who produced and wrote music for some of her earlier works. Her late sister Kyoko Togawa was an actress who at times ventured into the music world and cross collaborated at times. Around 1990 Jun shared management with Susumu Hirasawa resulting in quite a number of collaborations. She has acted in a number of films, such as Untamagiru and The Family Game. In 1989, Susumu Hirasawa, who was currently freezing P-MODEL, joined the Yapoos as support, appearing in the "Bach Studio II" section of the TV program "Yume de Aietara", where he played in a session with Downtown, Ucchan Nanchan and Susumu Hirasawa.
