Mahousyoujo-ni-naritai was formed in 2014 by producer/developer, ADULT YUkun, as a five-piece commercial and creative team. The band members are a mix of different ages and genders, and are consisted of:
Vocalist: KAJI BASIL (magical girl-in-training)
VJ & Vocalist: gari (videographer-in-training)
Guitar: MEIJIsan (model-in-training)
Guitar: UI VITON (band dude)
Bass: ADULT YUkun (producer/developer)
Members also regularly collaborate with illustrators, photographers and other young, up-coming creators in both studio recordings and live performances.
The band sounds part metal, punk and EDM, while infusing elements of role-playing games, not only in their songs and lyrics, but also their videos and live performances, creating an all-new “Japanese alternative” genre. Their unique approach to music and performing has caught the attention of fans and the industry, having won a prestigious contest for up-and-coming artists hosted by a major rock magazine merely four months since forming the band. This led to them being invited to perform at one of Japan’s leading rock events, ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2014, and in 2015 they’ve also been tapped to write a song for Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, one of Japan’s most in-demand idol groups.
As a side note, vocalist and magical girl-in-training, KAJI BASIL, was put under a spell by an evil witch, and now travels the world to find a cure for her predicament. In order to preserve her magical powers, she does not speak anytime other than singing, so please keep in mind that she will be unable to answer when spoken to.

As a singer (often he also worked as a songwriter) and actor, Sawada prospered greatly on Japanese popular culture in the last three decades of the Shōwa era. At the end of the 1960s, he had great success as the lead singer of the band The Tigers. After the breakup of The Tigers and another project Pyg, he began his own solo career.
Music career
Sawada was the lead singer of the best-known J-pop music act of the late 1960s Group Sounds era band The Tigers. A national teen idol, his nickname is Julie. Japanese pop stars of that era often adopted nicknames, particularly often English-language girls' names. His nickname is derived from the actress Julie Andrews as he is a fan of hers. The group was signed by Watanabe
Productions.
In 1968, Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees was commissioned to compose two songs for the band in an attempt at international success. One of the songs was a hit in Japan, titled "Smile for Me" and sung by Sawada. In spite of his clear English pronunciation, the record did not make the pop charts in foreign markets as the Watanabe Productions management team had hoped. The band disbanded shortly after its release.
In 1970, after The Tigers broke up, Sawada formed the supergroup, Pyg. Kenichi Hagiwara, Sawada's main rival in the Group Sounds era, was a co-lead vocalist. When Pyg disbanded, Sawada went solo, but the acting was to be his main form of artistic expression after that. Sawada started to wear trendy clothes and make-up in the 1970s and became regarded as an influential fashion innovator.
In the 1980s he was in Co-Colo with Hideki Ishima.
Sawada also plays the shamisen. He appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone in March 1969 (No. 28), and is the only Japanese as a cover person of this magazine other than Yoko Ono.
Film career
Sawada's best-known roles include playing in Paul Schrader's biopic movie about Yukio Mishima, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters and playing in Takashi Miike's horror-comedy musical The Happiness of the Katakuris.
Personal life
He married Emi Ito, the member of 1960s pop duo The Peanuts, in 1975, but they divorced in 1987.[3] He is married to Oshin star Yūko Tanaka, whom he met on the set of Tora-san, the Expert.

A theatrical artist Koichi Makigami met Makoto Inoue in the art club of their junior high school in 1970 ... this could be the start of HIKASHU.
Koichi and Makoto joined a Japanese dramatic troupe Tokyo Kid Brothers and gave public performances in New York or London, but sadly broke up soon after the performance in London. Lumiere and Son, born as a London avant-garde theatrical company in those days and supported by Roger Waters or Henry Cow, appreciated their artistic talent and invited them as guests. Koichi and Makoto say they could get much impact in avantgarde stages of Lumiere and Son. In mid-1970s Koichi as a theatrical producer, and Makoto as a synthesizer musician gained much experience ... especially upon a performance 'Collecting Net', on that stage, Koichi, Makoto, and Yasushi YAMASHΙTA appeared.
HIKASHU were formed by Makoto, Yasushi, and Tadahiro WAKABAYASHI - a sitarist and the owner of Raoya, a live house in Kichijoji (Tokyo) - in 1978, featuring tabla or sitar, much influenced by the music of India. On the other hand, Koichi session with Masamichi MITAMA and Satoshi TOBE and formed a three-piece unit RU-INCHI (even currently sometimes appeared on stage as Koichi's another project). These two outfits met upon a performance named 'Yochu No Kiki' produced by Koichi, and at this moment HIKASHU was formally reborn as a five-piece band - Koichi MAKIGAMI (voices, bass, cornet, theremin etc.), Masamichi MITAMA (now Freeman MITA; guitars, sitar), Makoto INOUE (synthesizer, mellotron, keyboards), Satoshi TOBE (saxophone, guitar), and Yasushi YAMASHITA (Rhythmbox, synthesizer, timpani).
For the first time, HIKASHU appeared on the stage of Raoya on August 29th, 1978. Haruo Chikada, a renowned radio DJ, got much interested in their samples and offered production for their albums. In October 1979 their debut single 'In The End Of 20th Century' was released via East World / Toshiba EMI (Japan). And they released the first album 'Hikashu' and the second 'Natsu (Summer)' successively in 1980. In those days they were considered as a techno-pop band and TV media took up their stuff in some special articles or programs, but since 1981, the third album 'Uwasa No Jinrui' released, they have shown more experimental colors in their music style, attitude, performances.
HIKASHU has been active as a band, performers, a theatrical creator, and a music producer for movies, TV programs or CMs, and a pioneer of Japanese Underground Pop & Rock scene. The frontman Koichi MAKIGAMI plays like a performance producer or a solo artist, parallel to HIKASHU.

The group's name symbolizes that the group is full of surprises and it is unknown how they would develop in the future, much like Tokyo's image. They also hope that they can one day emulate Tokyo's success in areas such as entering overseas markets and coming up with their own unique style.
Avex created the group Tokyo Girls' Style in 2009 to capitalize on the rising demand for Japanese idol girl groups, a trend fueled by the success of the female idol group AKB48. Members of the group later said that they had previously worked with this record label before, and were reportedly encouraged to audition for the new group. On December 1, 2009 the Japanese media made reports about this new group, though Avex kept the identities of the group's members a secret until January 1, 2010. From January 1 to January 5, 2010, Avex gradually released more information on the members of the group and launched the group's official website.
The group's debut single, "Kirari" (キラリ☆ , lit. "Sparkling"), was released on May 5, 2010, reaching a peak position of 30th place on the Oricon charts. Their second single, "Onnaji Kimochi" (おんなじキモチ, "Same Feeling"), was subsequently released on May 19, 2010. Their first album, Kodou no Himitsu, which is a compilation of their previous singles, was released in Japan on May 4, 2011. This album peaked at the 25th position on the Oricon charts.
In order to break into other Asian markets, Tokyo Girls' Style re-recorded the song in their second single, "Onnaji Kimochi", in Mandarin Chinese. This version of the song was included in the album entitled 心跳的秘密 (Xīntiào de mìmì), which was released in Taiwan on May 4, 2011, and in Hong Kong one week later. The group admitted that "They were worried that their singing is not good because the Chinese pronunciation is so hard [to grasp]."
It became widely famous in Latin America, particularly in Colombia, Puerto Rico, Panama, Mexico, Perú and other Caribbean area countries. The Japanese salsa band Orquesta de La Luz was quite a large one, whose main focal point (and only consistent member throughout their tenure together) was singer Nora.
Throughout the years, Nora was joined by a rotating cast of musicians in the group, including Gen Ogimi, percussion; Carlos Kanno, percussion; Genichi Egawa, timbales; Gen Date, conga; Hiroshi Sawada, bass; Satoru Shoinoya, piano, keyboards; Shiro Sasaki, trumpet; Tatsuya Shimogami, trumpet; Yoshihito Fukumoto, trumpet; Hideaki Nakaji, trombone; and Taisei Aoki, trombone, while co-producer/arranger Sergio George contributed keyboards from time to time.
The group built a substantial following in their homeland during the early to mid-'90s (with such releases as 1990's Orquesta de La Luz, 1991's Sin Fronteras, and 1992's Somos Diferentes), before switching their sound primarily to jazz and ballads. By 1995, Orquesta de La Luz had broken up, with Nora launching a solo career shortly thereafter (and returning to her former band's early salsa sound).

One view holds that "Nazareth" is derived from one of the Hebrew words for 'branch', namely ne·ṣer, נֵ֫צֶר, and alludes to the prophetic, messianic words in Book of Isaiah 11:1, 'from (Jesse's) roots a Branch (netzer) will bear fruit'. One view suggests this toponym might be an example of a tribal name used by resettling groups on their return from exile. Alternatively, the name may derive from the verb na·ṣar, נָצַר, "watch, guard, keep," and understood either in the sense of "watchtower" or "guard place", implying the early town was perched on or near the brow of the hill, or, in the passive sense as 'preserved, protected' in reference to its secluded position. The negative references to Nazareth in the Gospel of John suggest that ancient Jews did not connect the town's name to prophecy.
Another theory holds that the Greek form Nazara, used in Matthew and Luke, may derive from an earlier Aramaic form of the name, or from another Semitic language form. If there were a tsade (צ) in the original Semitic form, as in the later Hebrew forms, it would normally have been transcribed in Greek with a sigma instead of a zeta. This has led some scholars to question whether "Nazareth" and its cognates in the New Testament actually refer to the settlement known traditionally as Nazareth in Lower Galilee. Such linguistic discrepancies may be explained, however, by "a peculiarity of the 'Palestinian' Aramaic dialect wherein a sade (ṣ) between two voiced (sonant) consonants tended to be partially assimilated by taking on a zayin (z) sound."
In primary school, Ootsuki and classmate Yūichirō Uchida wanted to become manga artists, but they soon started to discover the big names of prog rock like King Crimson and Pink Floyd; Japanese new wave bands like YMO, Hikashu and P-Model; and the Japanese punk rock of Kenji Endo, Zunou Keisatsu, Jagatara, The Stalin and INU. Ootsuki was greatly influenced by all these bands, and started to become interested in music. Apart from music, the manga artists that most influenced him at the time were Yoshikazu Ebisu and Daijiro Morohoshi.
In 1979, after joking around at Uchida's birthday party, they formed a band with a few friends (called "Dotechinzu", or "The Donzu"). At first none of the members could play any instruments apart from Uchida, who played the Electone keyboard. Ootsuki tapped the rhythm with a bamboo stick. The band broke up after the members graduated from middle school.
In February 1982, him and Uchida formed the Japanese rock band Kinniku Shōjo Tai (back then called Kinniku Shōnen Shōjo Tai), with Ootsuki in charge of lyrics, vocals and bass. At the time Kera (Keralino Sandorovich), a senior student from Uchida's high school, had just heard the tapes they'd recorded as Dotechinzu and liked them, after which he joined Ootsuki and Uchida to form the side-project "Karate Bakabon". They released their self-titled release on Nagomu Records, the independent label run by Kera. After that, Kinniku Shoujo would also release a few albums on Nagomu. The first time they played live it became apparent that Ootsuki couldn't play bass and sing at the same time, so he entrusted the position to Uchida, who had played keyboards up until then. Then in the second half of the '80s they signed onto a major label. The way they described themselves in their promotional slogans was with the phrase "Rockers who get their leather pants from their parents".
Ever since the beginning, Ootsuki was the band's frontman, and in order to promote the band, he began appearing on All Night Nippon as a radio personality. From there he started to appear in various forms of media, even in talk shows like Tetsuko no Heya. Ootsuki says he was extremely nervous on his first appearance on Tetsuko no Heya, and could hardly manage to answer the questions he was being asked.
While the band switched labels several times, Ootsuki started his solo career with the project "UNDERGROUND SEARCHLIE", collaborated with bands like NINGEN-ISU, and continued with Kinniku Shoujo Tai until they disbanded in 1999. After disbanding, Ootsuki formed a new band called "Tokusatsu". Also, he formed the band "Densha" with musicians who had helped him on his solo efforts, like Ishizuka BERA Norihiro (from qyb, Kinniku Shoujo Tai and a support member for SOFT BALLET), Obata Pump (from Scanch, and Kenji Sato (from MARCHOSIAS VAMP). Apart from that, he continued to collaborate with various musicians under names like "Ooken & Nise Tokusatsu" (Ooken & the fake Tokusatsu), "Ootsuki Kenji & Yangusu" (Ootsuki Kenji & Youngs) or "Ootsuki Kenji & namae wa nandemo ii" (Ootsuki Kenji & whoever) to perform at all sorts of events. Even nowadays, he uses the side-project "Ootsuki Kenjis" (of which he is the only fixed member) to create music for anime and tokusatsu movies, for special events and shows or to play jazz and acoustic sets.
Since 1998, he regularly hosts an event in the Shinjuku Loft Plus One called "Nohohon Gakkou" ("Nonchalant School"), to which he invites guests from the Japanese subculture to talk.
Kinniku Shōjo Tai's had dissolved partly because of bad feelings amongst some of the members, but in July 2006 they held an event called "reconciliation" and reformed. In December of that same year they played their come-back live. Then on the 25th the "Ootsuki Kenji and Tokusatsu Fan Club" announced that Tokusatsu were disbanding. However, Ootsuki himself later stated on his blog that it was just needed some time to "recharge their batteries". Even so, during that time all of Ootsuki's solo projects and shows were played together with Tokusatsu members, like the Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei theme songs and live shows. In 2011, Tokusatsu reformed, released a new album and started playing live again.
Since the first half of the '90s, apart from fronting Kinniku Shōjo Tai Ootsuki also began his literary career. He wrote various novels like "Shinkoushuukyou Omoide Kyou"("Church of Memories, a new religion"), "Gumi Chokoreeto Pain" ("Gummy Chocolate Pineapple"), or "Stacy" (which was later adapted into a film), and also published essays like "Ooken no nohohon nikki" ("Ooken's nonchalant diary"). His literary style is greatly influenced by the "Shōwa Keihaku Tai" genre (or "Frivolous Shōwa Style"). He's also a member of the Japanese Sci-Fi writer's club, but according to Ootsuki himself he hardly ever turns up.
Ever since Kinniku Shōjo Tai's come-back in 2007 he has stopped writing novels, but his serialized essays and talks are still active.
Rolly Teranishi or ROLLY (September 6, 1963 -) is a Japanese entertainer, musician, music producer.
Teranishi is well-recognized as the lead guitarist and vocalist of the Japanese rock band, Scanch (すかんち Sukanchi). Scanch continued until 1996. Once Scanch broke up, Rolly pursued his solo musical career and also acting.
Outside of Japan, Teranishi is known almost entirely for his role as Genesis in the Japanese thriller Suicide Circle (2002). He is in the movies Iden & Tity, Swallowtail, Get It On?. He also made an appearance as "Yaha" in the PlayStation 2 game Drag-on Dragoon 2.
Teranishi is a fan of Tim Burton and his works as a movie director; he owns a costume of his favorite Tim Burton character, Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Being a big fan of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, he has made several appearances in the stage performances in Japan as Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Other stage performances include the role of Captain Hook in Peter Pan and the Fox and the Conceited Man in Le Petit Prince. His most recent stage role was in the first Japanese production of Tommy, playing the parts of Cousin Kevin and the Pinball Wizard.
2006 was the 15th-year anniversary of Scanch. All the members of Scanch reunited for two concerts that occurred on March 10 and March 17. It was also released on CD (Scanch’n’Roll Show II).
Teranishi starred in a TV show called Rock Fujiyama alongside Marty Friedman, ex-lead guitarist of the thrash metal band Megadeth. Rolly also appears in his own television show Rolly Kingdom every two weeks and also co-hosts KKTV, a family show that airs every Saturday night.
He has also contributed to the soundtrack of Kamen Rider Agito for his performance of the third ending theme "Deep Breath." This was the second song that he performed as the lead vocalist for Rider Chips, after being featured as a vocalist on "Power Child."
He recently voiced Tamatoa in the Japanese dub version of the Disney film Moana.
Zunou Keisatsu is the Japanese ur-punk/rock band formed in 1970 by Panta and Toshiaki Ishizuka. The group's name means "Brain Police" (Zuno Keisatsu in Japanese) and was taken from a Frank Zappa song. They rapidly became known for the extreme left-wing opinions expressed in their lyrics. The group released six studio albums before splitting up in 1975. They later reformed in 1991 and again in 2001.
Zunou Keisatsu's legend and notoriety stem mainly from their involvement with radical leftist politics in the 70's, and the banning of their first two records because of the controversial lyrical content. As Julian Cope writes: "They were formed in the late ‘60s by vocalist and guitarist Panta, who had formerly played with festival obscurities Peanut Butter, Mojo and Spartacus Bunt, and Brain Police songs were all built around the guitarist’s fist-in-the-air people-at-the-barricades lyrics. Taking their name from the early Mothers of Invention song ‘Who Are The Brain Police?’ the band survived long enough to make six LPs and continued until the end of 1975. However, there are two obvious peaks in their career, the first being their rousing duo performance at the GENYA anti-airport protest festival, when Panta and conga player Toshi shared a bill with Blues Creation, Masauki Takayanagi’s free rock New Direction For The Arts, and Keiji Haino’s Lost Aaraaff. Performances of the songs ‘Pick Up Your Gun’ and the seven-minute chant ‘World Revolutionary War Declaration’ received such a positive response from the crowd that the nihilism of closing act Lost Aaraaff was greeted with large rocks hurled from the Sanrizuka fields."
