Have any idea about Sadistic Mika Band? I heard they were the first Japanese rock band who used to release an album in the UK and also who used to tour in the UK with Roxy Music. In 1974, we had such a band from Japan.

Their album "Black Ship" must be one of the greatest albums on the Japanese rock history. You can hear some of Gram rock, Progressive Rock and Funk by the Japanese band on that album.

However, the punchline of that band was that their female singer Mika who had been a wife for Mr. Kato of that band's frontman slept with the English producer called Chris Thomas (well known as a producer for the albums of Beatles, Pink Floid and Sex Pistols) for their album and the band had been broken up.
