On February 20, 1983, the members of what would later become Princess Princess first formed as Akasaka Komachi (赤坂小町) after passing auditions hosted by TDK Records. They named themselves after Akasaka, Tokyo, the location of TDK's headquarters. Akasaka Komachi's catchphrase was "Tenkei-teki Gendai Mesukōsei-fū Gakudan" (典型的現代女子高生風楽団, lit. "Typical Modern High School Girl Wind Orchestra"). Shortly after the release of their debut EPKoala Boy Kockey (コアラボーイ・コッキィ, Koara Bōi Kokkī) in 1984 (for the TV Tokyoanime series of the same name), the band changed its name to Julian Mama (ジュリアンママ, Jurian Mama) before finally settling with Princess Princess in 1986.[7]
