Tokyo Rose
prided themselves of never covering
anyone else's material or copying anyone during their live concerts and to
this day, they have played hundreds of live concerts gaining a good
following of fans.
National media and local Radio stations were always

Now due to the Internet their superb
material can now be heard and seen and played
World wide.
