Carlos Toshiki & Omega Tribe

Carlos Toshiki & Omega Tribe (カルロス・トシキ&オメガトライブ, Karurosu Toshiki & Omega Toraibu) was a Japanese band from Tokyo, Japan. Originally formed as 1986 Omega Tribe (1986オメガトライブ), the original 1986 formation consisted of Japanese Brazilian vocalist Carlos Toshiki, rhythm guitarist Shinji Takashima, lead guitarist Teruka Kurokawa, and keyboardist Toshitsugu Nishihara. Kurokawa's departure from the band in March 1988, as well as its outdated year, caused the band to be renamed to Carlos Toshiki & Omega Tribe, with American vocalist Joey McCoy officially joining the band in July 1988. Part of the Omega Tribe project by producer Koichi Fujita, the band was created by Fujita as a way to continue the project after the disbandment of S. Kiyotaka & Omega Tribe the previous year; Takashima and Nishihara had previously been in that band, and had expressed opposition to their disbandment.
