Tommy February6 is the eponymous debut album of the brilliant green vocalist Tomoko Kawase's alter ego Tommy February6 (so named after Kawase's birthday). The album, in addition to launching Kawase's solo career, also established Tommy February6's trademark sound, which is heavily influenced by 80's synth-pop music.

Most of the lyrics on the album's original material (all written by Kawase) are either dominated by English lyrics with occasional Japanese lines, or are wholly in English - despite the fact that Kawase reportedly cannot speak much of the language - with only one song ("Tommy Feburatte Macaron") sung entirely in Japanese.

The original first pressing of the album came with a promotional DVD that included music videos, karaoke videos and furitsuke (choreography) videos for "♡KISS♡ ONE MORE TIME" and "Bloomin'!". Also included was the making of the PV's for "♡KISS♡ ONE MORE TIME", "Bloomin'!" and "CANDY POP IN LOVE"
