Yamada Masashi (vocals), Suganami Eijun (guitar), Hirabayashi Naoki (bass) and Matsuda Shinji (drums) gathered to
Tokyo from all around the Japanese countryside to start a band in the late 1990's. This band, named The Back Horn,
was so successful that in just a few years they were offered a major record deal. At the same time the band went
major, the bass player was changed into Okamine Kohshu.
A song called Mirai made for the motion picture Akarui Mirai was a great hit for The Back Horn and made them
even more famous in Japan. Nowadays this band has toured all over Europe and the United States and they are
one of the biggest bands in Japan.
