Now a solo artist he was previously lead singer and guitarist for Japanese 90s indie group 「サニーデイ・サービス」 'Sunny Day Service'. As well as releasing his own records, Sokabe runs Rose Records, a Japan based Independent record label.
Sokabe began Sunny Day Service whilst studying law at Rikkyou University, and in 1994 they had their first major debut release with 『星空のドライブep』, 'Starry Sky Drive'. After critical aclaim and a number of album releases Sunny Day Service disbanded in 2000. After a year spent as a magazine contributor (bridge) and DJ, Sokabe came back to the music scene with an independent release in 2001, the single 「ギター」, 'Guitar'. Sokabe went on to release another two singles and an album 「曽我部恵一」 on a major label.
Sokabe's second album 「瞬間と永遠」 'A Moment And Eternity', featured the kind of mellow acoustic pop familiar to fans of Sunny Day Service, while his third album 'STRAWBERRY' was more roots rock and roll style without losing the pop sensibilities of previous releases, and his fourth 「ラブレター」 'Love Letter' a further development of this style.
In 2004 Sokabe set up Rose Records, on which he now releases his own music and that of several signed acts. In that year Sokabe also made an appearance in the film 『青い車』 'Blue Car', for which he contributed the musical score.
Currently Sokabe is hosting an internet radio service from his home page, broadcast every Monday at 12 midnight, and a record shop/bar.
Sokabe has also made numerous appearances at the 'Dream Power John Lennon Live' tribute event run by Yoko Ono, and also contributed to YMO and Happy End tribute albums.
His latest solo album release 'LOVE CITY' was made in 2006.

夕立ち通り
曽我部恵一 Lyrics
アイスクリーム売りの車のかげで
かわいい女の子が揺れていました
青空を切りとる この街のむこうで
まっしろい入道雲が
音を立ててくずれた
夕方になれば
虫たちの声にまぎれてぼくら
いなくなろうよ
恋の予感 ちょっと肌に感じて
きみの方を見る
透き通るような肩が素敵だった
ぼくのポケットに
夕立ちをつめこんで
きみの胸もとにたらしたいんです
プール還りのハイな南風が
ふたりに近づいて
キスして逃げてった
公園には誰もいないのさ
ベンチにもたれて
永遠を吸い込もうよ
恋の予感 ちょっと肌に感じて
きみの方を見る
透き通るような
そのまなざしがいいぜ
かわいい女の子が揺れていました
青空を切りとる この街のむこうで
まっしろい入道雲が
音を立ててくずれた
夕方になれば
虫たちの声にまぎれてぼくら
いなくなろうよ
恋の予感 ちょっと肌に感じて
きみの方を見る
ぼくのポケットに
夕立ちをつめこんで
きみの胸もとにたらしたいんです
プール還りのハイな南風が
ふたりに近づいて
キスして逃げてった
公園には誰もいないのさ
ベンチにもたれて
永遠を吸い込もうよ
恋の予感 ちょっと肌に感じて
きみの方を見る
透き通るような
そのまなざしがいいぜ
