[2] Yoshino also recruited Watanabe and Okamoto, both of whom were formerly a Bassist and Drummer (respectively) for the Brass-Rock band, SPECTRUM from 1979 to 1981, and Ando also for his ability of writing lyrics.
The leaflet for their second album promotion published by Alfa Moon Records, shows the blood types of each member with profiles.
[4] In 2012, Yoshino said in his Facebook that he saw the result of his latest medical check and learned that his blood-type is not AB but B, after Matsushita's reissued CD (see above) was released.
The CDs "Classic Jazz-Funk Series" were released in UK, and the original version of the song "Deja Vu" was included.
Yoshino said AB'S restarted again with the original lineup, and did a gig and released a limited mini album A5B3S(A-go-B-san-zu), and toured in 2004.
The song "Dead or Alive" is the rearranged version of "Turquoise Blue", the theme of Golgo 13 Queen Bee, all music of which was composed by Fujimaru Yoshino.
Around the end of this year, Yamada decided to play only acoustic piano and chose to leave the band.
In 2013, four albums from the Alpha Moon era ("AB'S", "AB'S-2", "AB'S-3", "AB'S-4") were converted to SHD-CDs under the supervision of and with commentary by Toshikazu Kanazawa.
A limited edition was also released with liner notes containing Kanazawa's interview with Yoshino and Matsushita.
