T-Skirt () was a prominent Thai girl group active during the 1990s under the label Kita Entertainment. They followed as the second significant Thai female trio after the 1980s group Sao Sao Sao.
History
Launching their career in 1995, T-Skirt adopted a vibrant Japanese gal-style aesthetic characterized by vivid hues and miniskirts, reminiscent of the popular Japanese anime Sailor Moon. This distinctive concept rapidly positioned them as teen icons, particularly resonating with adolescent females and the LGBTQ audience. Their initial mini concert at Siam Square, a well-known youth gathering spot, drew substantial crowds.
During the audition phase, future superstar Tata Young also participated but ultimately signed as a solo performer with Grammy Entertainment later that same year.
Their notable singles included Mai Tao Rai (ไม่เท่าไหร่, "It's nothing"), Jeb Tan Dai Mai (เจ็บแทนได้ไหม, "Can I hurt instead?"), and Sueng Sueng Noi (ซึ้ง ๆ หน่อย, "Little appreciated"), the last being an adaptation of a song by Japanese group CoCo. Additional popular tracks were Rueang Man Sao (เรื่องมันเศร้า, "Sad story") and Fong Tan Pao (ฟ้องท่านเปา, "File a Lord Pao"), which drew inspiration from the Taiwanese television drama Justice Pao. Their debut album enjoyed nearly two years of promotion and achieved sales exceeding one million copies.
The follow-up album released in 1996 did not match their earlier commercial success. Soon after, their record company encountered financial troubles leading to its closure and the subsequent dissolution of the group.
In 2018, T-Skirt reunited for the special occasion GREEN CONCERT #21 Dance Fever, sharing the stage with other distinguished artists from the 1990s era.
All members continue to engage with the Thai entertainment industry through various onstage performances and behind-the-scenes roles.
