Tokio (band)

Tokio was a Japanese rock/pop band formed by Johnny & Associates that formed in 1989 and debuted in 1994. Originally signed with Sony Music Entertainment from 1994 to 2001, with Universal Music Japan from 2001 to 2008, and, from then until the end, signed under J Storm (later called "Storm Labels"). In addition to their activities as a band, the members of Tokio also acted in dozens of dramas and hosted variety programmes, both as a group and individually. The group's name, "Tokio", is the old English romanization for Japan's capital Tokyo, and remains the current transliteration in several European languages.
