Available in:
"Show-Ya" is an all-female heavy metal/hard rock band from Japan, founded in 1984. The group disbanded in 1998, but reformed with the original line-up in 2005 for the 20th anniversary of their first release. The music of Show-Ya is deeply rooted in classic rock and in their albums and live shows they have covered songs from The Beatles, The Doors, The Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and AC/DC. Their music evolved from the pop rock of their first offerings to the heavy metal of their most successful albums, Outerlimits and Hard Way.
The first nucleus of Show-Ya was formed in 1982 by Keiko Terada and Miki Nakamura, who had been playing together for a year, in order to enter the East West Grand Prix musical contest organized and sponsored by Yamaha. The new band won the contest for best female group, which resulted in a record contract with Toshiba EMI. Their debut album was Masquerade Show, which was recorded in Japan and mixed at Abbey Road Studios in London.
By the end of 1998 the band officially disbanded. Each member parted and went their separated ways, pursuing individual careers, Show-Ya officially reunited in 2005, with Keiko Terada back as lead vocalist, in time for their 20th Anniversary shows at NHK Hall in Tokyo.
