Twentieth ( Depapepe [デパペペ] )



Depapepe (デパペペ), is a music group originating from Japan. The acoustic guitar duo is composed of Miura Takuya ( born 5 April 1983 ) and Tokuoka Yoshinuari ( born on 15 July  1977 ), who formed in 2002.

They made their major debut in 2005 with their album "Lets Go!!!", which generated sales  figures of about 100,000 and ranked within  the top 10 of Oricon's Instrumental Artist Debut Chart, Before that, they had released three indie albums.

The name itself comes from the combination of both short names of the band members, by combining the Japanese word for overbite, 'deppa' and the name of Tokuoka's previous band 'Derupepe'. Contrary to a popular rumour circulating among their fans. the two guitarist are not brothers. In their 2002 formation the pair joined with the Sony Music. They work on insert song for anime television series Honey and Clover.
