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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dynamite!
Hey! Baby when you kiss it's dynamite!
Hey! Baby when you hug and hold me tight
I just explode like dynamite
You dynamite
Then I would love you dear with all my might
Because you're dynamite!
You do such big attraction
Chain reaction things to me
They oughta make you wear a sign of danger T.N.T.
Love me right hey! Baby let's make history tonight
The power of one hour of love's delight
Just knocks me out like dynamite!
You do such big attraction
Chain reaction things to me
They oughta make you wear a sign of danger T.N.T.
Love me right hey! Baby let's make history tonight
The power of one hour of love's delight
Just knocks me out like dynamite!
Because you're dynamite
Because you're dynamite
The lyrics to 東京事変 / Tokyo Jihen / Tokyo Incident's song ダイナマイト / Dynamite are a celebration of explosive love. The song depicts the passion and intensity of a romantic relationship that is equated to the power and force of dynamite. The lyrics speak directly to a lover, praising them for their ability to ignite a chain reaction of desire and excitement in the singer. The song begins with the repeated phrase "you dynamite", drawing a direct comparison between the lover and a stick of dynamite. The chorus then exclaims "Hey! Baby when you kiss it's dynamite! Hey! Baby when you hug and hold me tight I just explode like dynamite". The use of language such as "explode" and "knocks me out" emphasizes the intense physical reaction that the singer experiences.
The song continues to build upon this metaphor, describing the lover's power as a "chain reaction" that creates a "big attraction" towards them. The singer is so affected by their lover's intensity that they suggest they "oughta make you wear a sign of danger T.N.T". The song conveys a sense of danger and risk associated with being in such an explosive relationship, yet ultimately still praises the intensity and desire that it creates. The final line of the song repeats the chorus, affirming that the lover is indeed "dynamite".
