His approach is characterized by a fearless exploration of unconventional sounds, often utilizing everyday objects and found noises as instruments. This innovative process not only challenges traditional notions of musicality but also invites listeners to engage with the familiar in surprising ways. In doing so, Tsuboi cultivates an environment where sound becomes a canvas for playful experimentation, blurring the lines between music and performance art.
Lyrically, Tsuboi often explores themes of absurdity and the mundane, crafting narratives that resonate with both irony and sincerity.

This unique voice strikes a balance between humor and depth, providing a reflective lens on everyday life.
