, Akira Takasaki (g), Minoru Niihara (vocals), and Masayoshi Yamashita (b). They released the first album "The Birth Eve-THE BIRTHDAY EVE" which shook the Japanese hard rock scene, performed an overwhelming debut concert at Asakusa International Theater, and continued energetic activities in Japan. Only after 3 years from debut, they signed a worldwide multi-disc contract with Atlantic Records in the United States for the first time as a Japanese band and released their first worldwide album "THUNDER IN THE EAST", which recorded 74th place in the “Billboard”, a great achievement for a Japanese band then. It continued to chart for 19 consecutive weeks, then on the US tour with Motley Crew, they became the first Japanese band to play on Madison Square’s stage. The following album "LIGHTNING STRIKES" recorded 64th place in Billboard magazine, surpassing the previous work, but after their energetic activities at home and abroad, Niihara withdrew in 1988. After changing members several times, they reunited with the original lineup in 2000, and re-started their raging releases and energetic live activities to fill the void. However, after the release of the album “METAL MAD” in 2008, Higuchi passed away at the age of 49 by hepatocellular carcinoma, after fighting for the latter half of the year. Suzuki "Anpan" Masayuki joined as a successor drummer, and the band continued its activities without any break. In 2014, they launched their own management and label, Katana Music, and released the album “THE SUN WILL RISE AGAIN”. After joining various festivals overseas and releasing the album “RISE TO GLORY -8118-” on their world contract, just before the Japan tour, drummer Suzuki collapsed due to cerebral infarction. They went on tour with Nishida "Dragon" Ryuichi for support and continued performing at festivals in Europe, achieved the first Australian tour, and their first festival in Mexico. Suzuki, who has been working hard on rehabilitation, gradually is now becoming able to perform in domestic stages. Now the first work of their 40th anniversary, recorded by the 5 members in the Covid-19 era, 2020, is finally to give a signal from the NFT market. The second prologue of the album scheduled to be released later this year will be announced on 10/15!!
