Space Ponch (with Yuichi Kishino and the others) has released "World Shopping with Space Ponch" on MOIKAI (Jim O'Rourke's record company). Midnight Bowlers is with Yoshinori Sunahara who was in Denki Groove.

Hibiki Tokiwa has established a career as a photographer. His photographs of girls, shot with a wide angle lens, has had a major impact in the photography scene in Japan. Many books of his images have been published: "Sloopy Girls" "Freedom of Choice" "Girl Friends" "Girl Friends2" "Girl U WANT" "Rolexibition" and more...
He has recently started to travel and shoot throughout South East Asia as well as USA and Europe.
