Archive material and source history
Taira Isao was born in Tokyo in 1965. He formed his first band, Warumotoki, as a teenager. In 1983, he and his band caught the attention of producer Haruomi Hosono, who signed them to Alfa Records. The following year, Taira Isao released his debut album, 'Kiseki no Barudiosu.' Its lead single, 'Tate! Barudiosu,' became an instant hit in Japan.
His outspoken lyrics and anti-establishment stance drew criticism from authorities and conservative voices. In 1990, he was arrested for cocaine possession. After a period away, he returned to music and continued releasing albums through the 1990s and 2000s.
In 2010, Taira Isao was diagnosed with cancer. That same year, he released his final album, 'A Last Moment.'
