Doopees' music is not easy to describe. Their repertoire contains both Tomita's original works and cover versions of songs by Phil Spector and similar composers. The music is cute and funny beyond all belief, and at times seems to be a full-on parody of J-pop. The songs aren't tied into any particular genre, and that coupled with the strange universe the listener is dragged in makes Doopees something quite special.

Doopees first appeared in 1994 as guest performers on the album Happy Living by Astro Age Steel Orchestra, a side-project of Tomita's. Doopees' debut LP Doopee Time was released in 1995 and their EP Dooits! the following year. The inlay on Doopee Time promised a third album, but it was never completed. 3 tracks that were completed were released in 2006 on Yann Tomita's Forever Yann Music Meme 3 EP. Additionally, there is 1 new track each on the Meme 2 & 4 EPs. As documented in the Forever Yann Music Meme book, the amount of stress in completing another Doopees album was too much for Yann and the project was aborted.

In addition to Mr.Tomita, who uses the alias Dr. Domestic and is in charge of sampling and some live instruments, Doopees features the singing talents of Suzi Kim and Buffalo Daughter's Yumiko Ohno as Caroline Novac.
