jan 1, 1978 - Second Tokyo lineup break-down

Description:

Second Tokyo lineup, that gave us, perhaps, the greatest recordings of Rallizes, had broken down closer towards 1978, after Takeshi Nakamura and Hiroshi Narazaki had left the band for unknown reasons.
Mimaki Toshiro had switched to bass-guitar, while Kodo Noma had joined the band as a drummer, famous for his simplistic playing approach.
However, Sammy would also soon leave the band, giving place to Kiyohiro "Doronco" Takada on bass, also shaping Rallizes sound to a heavier, and more simplistic area.
During this time, Mizutani had tried to invite a second guitarist to the band, but failed. Rallizes stayed as a trio for the next 2, very poorly documented, years.

Takashi Mizutani — vocals, lead guitar, organ
Mimaki Toshiro — bass-guitar (1978)
Kiyohiro Takada — bass-guitar
Kodo Noma — drums

There is very little info available from this Rallizes' era, and only few recordings are known, making it one of the least documented period of Mizutani's ouvre
