History

Prism was formed in 1975 by Akira Wada, Ken Watanabe, Katsutoshi Morizono, Daisaku Kume, Koki "Corky" Ito and Toru "Rika" Suzuki. Most of the musicians had little professional experience, aside from Morizono, who founded the progressive rock band Yonin Bayashi (ja). In 1976, the group were signed to Polydor Records, performed as an opening act for Eric Clapton, and toured nationwide. Prism released their debut album in 1977, Prism, which ran out of stock after its release.[1] Their 1986 song 'Take Off' was featured in a Mild Seven commercial.[2]

Members

As of August 2019, Prism is composed of Jiro Okada (bass), Satoshi "Mansaku" Kimura (drums), Akira Wada (guitar) and Tatsuya "Cheru" Watanabe (keyboards, vocals).[3] On March 28, 2021, Wada died at the age of 64.[4]

Discography

Prism have released a total of 28 albums since 1977.[5] The band was signed to Universal Music Group in 2003, which re-released the band's first four albums, and remained their record publisher.[6]
