Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra

Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra (東京スカパラダイスオーケストラ, Tōkyō Suka Paradaisu Ōkesutora), biasa disingkat oleh fans sebagai Skapara atau TSPO, adalah grup musik ska dan jazz asal Jepang yang dibentuk pada tahun 1988 oleh pemain perkusi Asa-Chang, dan awalnya terdiri dari lebih dari 10 veteran underground scene Tokyo.[5] Pada saat itu, gaya musik grup ini tidak seperti grup musik sezamannya di kancah ska Jepang yang masih muda, dan selama 31 tahun terakhir, keberadaan mereka memiliki pengaruh pada musik Jepang secara keseluruhan. Suaranya, produk dari pengaruh musik para anggotanya, adalah campuran dari ska tradisional, jazz, dan rock.[6][7][8] Dalam nada dari banyak tindakan ska lainnya yang lebih tradisional, banyak lagu Skapara murni instrumental.
