Tokinouta appeared in 2011, and the following year the duo reconvened with Tape for help on production of the quiet chamber pop collection Papa's Ear. Two Sunsets, an album made in collaboration with the seminal Scottish indie pop group the Pastels, was released on Domino that fall. Tenniscoats released another full-length, Temporacha, via the ROOM40 label in 2009.
In addition to their own recordings, Tenniscoats were involved with various collaborations and side projects at this time, including Tan-Tan Therapy with Swedish ambient rockers Tape in 2008 and OneOne, a collaboration between Saya and Deerhoof's Satomi. Several more releases followed in the next four years, including Totemo Aimasho (2007) and Tenniscoats & Secai (2008). Tenniscoats' first proper full-length album, We Are Everyone, arrived in 2004. This was followed two years later by another mini-album, The Ending Theme, which was released on Noble/MIDI Creative. Tenniscoats released their first EP, The Theme of Tenniscoats, via the Majikick label in 2000.

The duo's prolific nature and affinity for collaboration led to a large and sonically diverse discography, including highlights like 2009's Two Sunsets, a joint album with Glaswegian indie legends the Pastels, 2012's Papa's Ear, one of several beautiful albums made with Swedish band Tape, and their extensive Music Exists series which collected their hard to find sounds over five individual volumes and culminated in a box set repackaging in 2020. With the help of an ever-shifting lineup of backing musicians (the likes of which have included LSD-March, Eddie Marcon, Secai, Popo, Saibou Bungaku, Tim Barnes, and Tetsuya Umeda), the Uneos make the kind of gentle, willowy, cerebral tunes that bring together austere chamber folk instrumentation and interesting production methods. Tenniscoats are a Japanese indie avant-pop duo comprised of Saya and Takashi Ueno.
