TOFIE (formerly known as TOFUKU) is a Taiwanese-American chill music producer/snare-player from L.A., and also a vocalist and "digital girl dreaming in 2.5D ♫". She covers songs on her Twitter
and occasionally goes on tours. More info on her is shown on her site.
Her discography can be found here.
She also has live DJ sets on her Soundcloud.
Her music provides examples of:
- Gibberish of Love:
- In "Sunrise Cutie" around 2:00, she even tries to convey happiness with a wordless voice solo.
- Present in "Wonderland" from 1:14, where she playfully scrambles her words and
youyouyous you.
- Hive Mind: In "Sunset Rhythm", she invites her "darling" listeners to take their loads off and sing along. A few shared notes are all it takes for her to say...
- Otaku: Invoked. Not only she is a bit of one, her music is made to cater to them.TOFUKU is a 2D reprieve for our 3D world: a digital girl blasting fresh sounds for your escape to the clouds, and the soundtrack to your next sunny adventure. [...] With past live appearances at Anime Expo, MAGFest, Anime Festival Orlando and more, TOFUKU combines her deep love of all things anime and gaming to bring you an energy that is truly unforgettable.
- The Tease: In "Digital Girl", even if she's the one singing, she still lures the listener with the possibility that...Maybe there isMaybe there isMaybe there is a digital girl (cue laugh)
- Yuki-onna: "Wonderland" kinds of alludes to it (especially with the cover art), and Tofie's take is very benevolent, wishing snowflakes to carry strength to her friends.
