Prism (プリズム, Purizumu) was a Japanese jazz fusion band formed in 1975.

History

Prism was formed in 1975 by Akira Wada and Ken Watanabe. In 1976, the group were signed to Polydor Records and toured nationwide. Prism released their debut album in 1977, Prism, which ran out of stock after its release. Shortly after, the band went on to support Eric Clapton at the Budokan.Their 1986 song 'Take Off' was featured in a Mild Seven commercial.

Members

The band's final line-up was composed of Jiro Okada (bass), Satoshi "Mansaku" Kimura (drums), Akira Wada (guitar) and Tatsuya "Cheru" Watanabe (keyboards, vocals) as of their suspension of activities in 2018. On March 28, 2021, Wada died at the age of 64.


Defining who was a support member rather than simply a guest was based on live performances and if they were consistent members of the recording band, rather than simply making a short appearance with the band, be it live or on an album. Additionally, some of who was considered an official member in the 70s—along with the dates they necessarily joined the band officially—are ill defined, so interpretations were made based on known live performances and liner notes.

Discography

Prism have released a total of 25 studio albums and 10 live albums since 1977. The band was signed to Universal Music Group in 2003, which re-released the band's first four albums, and remained their record publisher.
