The Alfee

The Alfee (formerly spelled Alfie) is a Japanese rock band formed in Tokyo in 1973. Originally a folk quartet, they became a trio of bassist Masaru Sakurai, acoustic guitarist Kohnosuke Sakazaki and electric guitarist Toshihiko Takamizawa in 1975. With all three performing vocal duties, they adopted a harder rock sound in the early 1980s. Beginning with their 16th single "Marie-Anne" in 1983, they have released 59 consecutive top 10 singles. The Alfee hold the record for most concerts performed by a Japanese band, with 2,972 as of August 2025. HMV Japan ranked them number 92 on their list of the top 100 Japanese pop acts.
