Kinniku Shōjo Tai (筋肉少女帯, also called KING-SHOW) is a Japanese rock band. The band name means "Muscle Girl Belt" in Japanese. They became very popular in the late 1980's through the late 1990's. In 1999 they disbanded, but then in 2006 they regrouped.

History

The Independent Years

In 1979 when Vocalist Kenji Ōtsuki and Bassist Yūichirō Uchida were Junior High School students, they started the band called "Dotechins" (This name was from Kenji Ōtsuki's Junior High School nick name) and this band was a precursor of Kinniku Shōjo Tai.

In February 1982 after they disbanded Dotechins and became high school students, they started a new band, "Kinniku Shōnen Shōjo Tai". On April 6 the same year, they debuted in the independent music scene, and changed the band name to "Kinniku Shōjo Tai"

In March 1986, the original keyboardist Edozō Mishiba joined the band, and this year the band has gotten a high ability and evaluation.

In 1987 they released the EP called, “Takagi Boo Densetsu”(Legend of Takagi Boo) from Nagomu Record (this independent record label is owned by Uchōten vocalist Keralino Sandorovich) . This EP caused some trouble with Takagi Boo’s office and the EP was then recalled.

Major Debut

In 1988, they successfully made a deal with TOY'S FACTORY and later that year in June they released their 1st album, "Buddha L" and their 1st single, "Shaka". But the band lineup is still not established. In 1989, Edozō Mishiba left the band and current guitarist Toshiaki Honjō and Fumihiko Kitsutaka joined the band. Then they released their 3rd Album called "Neko no Tebukuro (Cat's Glove) ". After this, the band lineup became established and has not changed until they disbanded in 1999. This year the band became very popular in Japan.

Disband

The band was going smoothly, but in July 1998 drummer Akira Ōta left the band. After a concert in 1999, guitarist Fumihiko Kitsutaka left the band for an administrative reason. Also leader and vocalist Kenji Ōtsuki left the band taking full responsibility for Fumihiko Kitsutaka leaving the band. And finally the band was completely finished. After disbanding, Kenji Ōtuski formed a new band called "Tokusatsu" and Fumihiko Kitsutaka joined a band called "X.Y.Z.→A".

Regroup

After disbanding the former band members had a few misunderstandings but finally most members became reconciled. And in December 28, 2006, Kenji Ōtsuki, Yūichirō Uchida, Toshiaki Honjō, and Fumihiko Kitsutaka announced that "Kinniku Shōjo Tai will regroup". Right now they are doing many concerts in Japan.
