Make-Up (Japanese band)

Make-Up (stylized as MAKE—UP) was a Japanese hard rock and heavy metal band formed in 1983.

The name “MAKE-UP” was originally the name of a band formed by Akira Takasaki and Munetaka Higuchi of LOUDNESS, which Hiroaki Matsuzawa took over.

In 1986, the band was invited by Nippon Columbia to sing the Saint Seiya theme songs "Pegasus Fantasy" and "Blue Forever".

After the Saint Seiya: Hit Kyokushū I soundtrack album, the band split up and each member followed their own solo careers.

In 2004, Nippon Columbia released Memories of Blues: Make-Up 20th Anniversary, a box that included five CDs and a live DVD, but no new songs were recorded.
