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.

春を待つ人
曽我部恵一 Lyrics
ちょっとムリしてきどっても
いいことない
ソンな暮らし
窓を開けると風がひるがえる
せまっくるしい部屋
ここはアジアの端 とおい東の街
やさしいあの娘の声が聴こえる
夕方の街へ行こう
きみを誘ってみよう
ポケットにお金はあんまりないけど
春の風 さっと吹いて
ぼくを連れて行くんです
欲しいものは幾つになっても
たくさんある
そりゃそうだね
だけど手に入れれるものは
ほんの少しだけ
わかってるよね
夢と幻が パレードのように
にぎやかな通りを行く 今日さ
そしてぼくはそこで
きみに逢えるだろうか?
まるで嘘のように
まるで映画のように
春の風 さっと吹いて
ぼくをあの街まで連れて行くんです
春の風 さっと吹いて
ぼくを連れて行くんです
春の風 さっと吹いて
ぼくを遠くまで連れて行くんです
いいことない
ソンな暮らし
窓を開けると風がひるがえる
せまっくるしい部屋
ここはアジアの端 とおい東の街
やさしいあの娘の声が聴こえる
夕方の街へ行こう
きみを誘ってみよう
ポケットにお金はあんまりないけど
ぼくを連れて行くんです
欲しいものは幾つになっても
たくさんある
そりゃそうだね
だけど手に入れれるものは
ほんの少しだけ
わかってるよね
夢と幻が パレードのように
にぎやかな通りを行く 今日さ
そしてぼくはそこで
きみに逢えるだろうか?
まるで嘘のように
まるで映画のように
春の風 さっと吹いて
ぼくをあの街まで連れて行くんです
春の風 さっと吹いて
ぼくを連れて行くんです
春の風 さっと吹いて
ぼくを遠くまで連れて行くんです
