THE ALFEE promoting "Yoake wo Motomete" (2009)
L-R: Sakurai Masaru, Sakazaki Kohnosuke, Takamizawa Toshihiko

THE ALFEE is a three-piece Japanese band that debuted in 1974. They started as a folk band, but soon progressed to rock. In 1983, after nine years, they finally had a hit with their sixteenth single, "Marie-Anne". Ever since, all of their singles have charted in the Oricon weekly top ten.[1] THE ALFEE has toured Japan every year since 1984 with a spring and autumn leg, and they also hold a large-scale outdoor concert in the summer. They are currently signed to EMI Music Japan.

In 2009, THE ALFEE celebrated their 35th anniversary.
