Shiina had always wished to work with a band, and selected its members while working on her third solo album, 加爾基 精液 栗ノ花. The band, comprised of guitarist ヒラマミキオ (Mikio Hirama), PE'Z keyboardist H ZETT M, drummer 畑利樹 (Toshiki Hata), and music producer 亀田誠治 (Seiji Kameda) as bassist, was first introduced as Tokyo Jihen during Shiina's Sugoroku Ecstasy tour. Being part of a band allowed Shiina to both share the songwriting process as well as tone down her public image.
In July 2005, H ZETT M and Hirama left the band. H ZETT M returned to his duties as pianist for PE'Z and Hirama returned to his solo career. Two months later, あっぱ pianist and vocalist 伊澤一葉 (Ichiyo Izawa) and 浮雲 (Ukigumo) joined Tokyo Jihen as the replacement keyboardist and guitarist, respectively.
On January 11th 2012 Shiina Ringo announced the band's breakup on their official website.
January 1st, 2020,marks a new beginning for the band since Tokyo Jihen released a surprise digital single, "Erabarezaru Kokumin", and announced a tour on Japan titled "Live Tour 2020 News Flash", beginning on February 29th. In February, the band announced their 5-song EP "News" would be released on April 8, 2020. The band's sixth album, Music (音楽) would then be released on June 9th, 2021.
その淑女ふしだらにつき
東京事変 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And never wished for turkey
As I hitched and hiked and grifted too
From Maine to Albuquerque
Alas I missed the Beaux Arts Ball
And what is twice as sad
I've never been to a party where they honored Noel Ca-ad
Social circles moved too fast for me
I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theatre but never come late
I never bother with people I hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
I don't like crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like the free fresh wind in my hair
Life without care, I'm broke, it's okey
Hate California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
Girls get massages, they cry and they moan
Let's tell to them to leave me alone
I'm not so hot, but my shape is my own
That's why the lady is a tramp
The food at Compenski's is perfect, no doubt
I couldn't tell you what the Ritz is about
Try me, you're gone and coffee comes out
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like the sweet, fresh rain in my face
Diamonds and lace
No got, so what?
For Frank Sinatra I whistle and I stamp
That's why the lady is a tramp
She is a hobo
She is a scamp
She is no good kind of tramp
That's why the lady is a tramp
The lyrics of "That's Why the Lady Is a Tramp" by Frank Sinatra, as covered by 東京事変, describe a woman who does not conform to social expectations and conventions. She prefers to be independent and take life as it comes, traveling and living on her own terms. She has no interest in fancy parties or social circles, and she does not care about material possessions or wealth. She values her freedom and enjoys the simple things in life, like fresh air and rain on her face. She does not like being around people she dislikes and does not play by their rules.
The song is a celebration of individuality and non-conformity. The lady in the song is proud of who she is and refuses to change to please others. She is not interested in material wealth and prefers to live a simple life. The song is also a commentary on social expectations and conventions, suggesting that they may restrict individual freedom and happiness.
