Make-up Make-up was formed in Osaka in 1983 by Hiroaki Matsuzawa, line-up was Nobuo Yamada (Vocals), Hiroaki Matsuzawa (Guitar), Yasuyoshi Ikeda (Bass), Yoshihiro Toyokawa (Drums), and Yogo Kono (Keyboards). Make-up released first album 'Howling Will' in April 1984. After that, Make-up released three albums 'Straight Liner (1984)', 'Born to Be Hard (1985)' and 'Rock Legend Of Boys & Girls (1985)'. Make-up has worked on the soundtrack of the TV anime "Saint Seiya" in 1986. Make-up was split up in October 1987. Review: The Soul-influenced Gospel Yeh-Yeh sound of the Make Up was born out of the still smoldering ashes of volatile anarcho-terrorist DC rockers, Nation of Ulysses. In February of '95, Nation members James Canty, S.A. Gamboa and Ian Svenonious joined ranks with former Frumpies' bassist Michelle Mae, embarking on a secular mission to reinvigorate an Indie Rock community they saw as stultified and flagging. Donning slick uniforms, mod-ish hairdos, and personas of preachers, Make Up shower their listeners with Soul infused Gospel-Punk in hopes of spreading their Liberation Theology -- a musical philosophy whose disgust with the record industry is matched only by its refreshingly optimistic love for the creativity and unity of its congregation. Members: Hiroaki Matsuzawa, Yogo Kono, Nobuo Yamada, Yasuyoshi Ikeda, Yoshihiro Toyokawa
