Sadistic Mika Band
The Sadistic Mika Band (Japanese: サディスティック・ミカ・バンド) was a Japanese rock band formed in November 1971 by husband and wife duo Kazuhiko Katō and Mika Katō. Japanese music writer Toshio Nakamura has stated that at a time when it was still rare for women to sing in rock bands in Japan, the fact that the Katōs were a married couple was even more unusual; this, combined with their glam rock-influenced fashion, has been cited as ground-breaking for defying gender norms in the country. After releasing three studio albums and becoming the first Japanese rock band to tour the United Kingdom, the Sadistic Mika Band disbanded in November 1975 when the Katōs divorced. In 2003, HMV Japan ranked the band at No. 94 on their list of the "Top 100 Japanese Pops Artists". In September 2007, Rolling Stone Japan rated their 1974 album Kurofune at No. 9 on its list of the "100 Greatest Japanese Rock Albums of All Time".
Genre: j-rock, city-pop, jazz-fusion, kayokyoku, shibuya-kei
