Biography

Off Course, a Japanese folk-rock band formed in 1964, blended Simon & Garfunkel's acoustic influence with traditional harmonies. The group enjoyed a successful 25-year career before disbanding in 1989, leaving a lasting impact on later acts such as Yuzu and Kobukuro. Despite lineup changes and various successes, including chart-topping albums and singles, Off Course ultimately called it quits after a performance at the Tokyo Dome.

Following their breakup, Off Course members pursued solo careers and collaborative projects. The band's legacy lives on through compilations of their music and the establishment of the Acoustic Beatles Club by former members Matsuo, Shimizu, and Ooma. Despite rumors of a reunion, the members have resisted such suggestions, maintaining the band's finality after their farewell performance.
