LAST.FM
Japanese heavy metal band. CURRENT (and 'classic') LINE-UP: Minoru Niihara(v), Akira Takasaki(g), Munetaka Higuchi(d), Masayoshi Yamashita (b). Back in the '70's, drummer MUNETAKA HIGUCHI and guitarist AKIRA TAKASAKI played together in a pop-rock band called Lazy. In an effort to pursue their musical aspiration even farther, they split from the successful group and launched LOUDNESS in May 1981. The duo was joined by former EARTHSHAKER vocalist MINORU NIIHARA, who was devoted to soul music at the time, and Takasaki's childhood friend MASAYOSHI YAMASHITA as the bassist.
