READY TO FLYSadisutikksu

A band active from 1976 to 1978, featuring a star-studded lineup: Yukihiro Takahashi on drums, Masayoshi Takanaka on guitar, Tsugutoshi Goto on bass, and Hiroshi Imai on keyboards.

After the sudden breakup of Sadistic Mika Band in 1975, these former backing members formed this group.

Since the members were already extremely busy, the band went on hiatus in 1978.

It’s a shame that, with the passing of Yukihiro Takahashi, we will never see this lineup perform again.
