■THE YELLOW MONKEY
The band began performing in December 1989 with the lineup of Kazuya Yoshii, Hideaki Kikuchi, Yoichi Hirose, and Eiji Kikuchi.
They gained popularity with their unique, glamorous style, which had its roots in glam rock, and made their major debut in May 1992.
They became one of the most representative rock bands in the Japanese music scene in the 1990s in terms of both live audience numbers and CD sales, but went on hiatus after their performance at Tokyo Dome on January 8, 2001.
The band remained on hiatus for the rest of the period, eventually disbanding in 2004.
On January 8, 2016, they announced they were reuniting.
Starting with a nationwide arena tour that attracted 220,000 people, the group has been busy participating in festivals, touring nationwide halls, and releasing their first new song in 15 years, and on New Year’s Eve they will be making their first appearance on the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.
In 2017, they released a new best album, released 3 consecutive digital releases, and released a documentary film “Ototoki” that follows their year together. They then held their first concert at Tokyo Dome in 17 years. In 2018, they began releasing all of their singles and albums worldwide.
In April 2019, they released their ninth original album “9999” for the first time in 19 years, and their nationwide arena tour with the album was a huge success. On December 28th, the 30th anniversary of their formation, they kicked off their first dome tour, the largest in their career.
