Background notes
Archive material and source history
Yutaka Yamakawa started playing music as a teenager in Osaka, forming a band called Himalayan Wind in 1986 that would later take his name. He was listening to Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan around that time. The album of the same name followed.
Yamakawa wrote lyrics that sometimes addressed sensitive topics, which drew criticism. They kept making music after that, with albums like Loose, Rainbow, Pilgrimage, and Resonance showing different sides of their sound.
The lineup has mostly stayed the same, with Yamakawa on vocals and guitar, Shin'ichi Nakayama on bass, and Satoru Ishii on drums. They've put out more than twenty studio albums since the mid-90s.
