History
Denki Groove was founded in 1989 by Takkyu Ishino and Pierre Taki, both of whom are natives of Shizuoka, Shizuoka Prefecture.[2] They formed on April 26, the same day their predecessor group, ZIN-SÄY! disbanded.
The group's major-label debut studio album, Flash Papa, was released in 1991, the first being 662 BPM by DG in 1990.[3] They also released a few albums, including U.F.O. (1991), Karateka (1992), Vitamin (1993), Dragon (1994), Orange (1996), A (1997), and Voxxx (2000).[4] Their single, "Shangri-La", had sold more than half a million copies.[4] They went on hiatus between 2001 and 2004.[5]
In 2019, Pierre Taki was arrested on suspicion of cocaine possession.[6] In response, Sony Music Entertainment Japan took Denki Groove's recordings off the shelves and stopped streaming the group's music.[7] Streaming services were resumed on June 19, 2020.[8]
