Astro Twin is a duo collaboration between Ami Yoshida (Voice), and Utah Kawasaki (analog synthesizer, laptop) which started in around 1996. Yoshida gave the duo its name, taken from the manga of the same name by Keiko Takemiya. It comes from the astrological term for beings born on the same day--although these two have different birthdays. Their sign, however, is the same--Taurus. "Boring sounds / unevolving sounds / unproductive sounds / lazy sounds / garbagelike sounds... These infinitely divided sounds are scattered everywhere. Each sound is junk, but some sounds may be important. They are for you to seek. We want you to find them--that is Astro Twin's request."
