    The Yellow Monkey

    Japanese rock band. They formed in 1988, played a mixture of hard, glam and alternative rock and in a few years, became one of the most successful rock acts of the country. After releasing several albums, they went on a hiatus in early 2001 and officially announced their disbandment in 2004. However they reformed in early 2016 and started to release new music that October, after finishing a countrywide reunion Arena tour.

    In the meantime, all members remained active, especially singer and main songwriter Kazuya Yoshii, who launched a solo career in 2003.
