  Formed in 1978 by Shinichiro Ishihara, Minoru Niihara and Yoshinobu Watanabe as

  Watanabe left the group in 1979, succeeded by Yoshihiro Kudo. The year after, Niihara

  In 1986, ex-NOVELA keyboardist Toshio Egawa joined the band.

  Initially disbanded in 1994 before reuniting in 1999 with all members coming back
  except Egawa (he eventually re-joined in 2017).
