History
The four amateur musicians Kaname Nemoto, Kiyoshi Kakinuma, Masami Terada and Toshikatsu "VOH" Hayashi, from
Saitama Prefecture, first formed a band called Gypsy and Arere-no-re (ジプシーとアレレのレ, Jipusī to Arere no Re) in 1979, to participate in the
Yamaha Popular Song Contest, where they won the Best Song Award with the song Ora ga Chinju no Muramatsuri (おらが鎮守の村祭り). In 1981, they renamed the group as Stardust Revue (スターダストレビュー, Sutādasuto Rebyū), because they desire to show various musical characteristics represented by the jazz standard song "
Stardust" and ones of themselves in
Revue-style performance. Their earliest recordings were STARDUST REVUE (the first album) and Shugā wa Otoshigoro (シュガーはお年頃) (the first single), both released on May 25, 1981.
On its 20th anniversary year, 2001, they toured all over Japan to hold concerts as usual, and then, on August 4, they performed no less than 101 songs at a concert at the Tsumagoi Multipurpose Arena in
Shizuoka, Japan. This performance has been recognized by the
Guinness World Records as "the highest number of songs performed in 24 hours by a group."[4]
