Omega Tribe (オメガトライブ) is a Japanese music project produced by Koichi Fujita under the label VAP. Omega Tribe was an active project between 1983 to 1995, but today you can still see live performances from Sugiyama Kiyotaka & Omega Tribe as well as Carlos Toshiki! For the most part, Omega Tribe can be catagorised as City Pop with a summery beachy theme.
Over the years, Omega Tribe's sound has shifted. From rock inspired songs to embracing a more Latin influence.
Background from SOZAINO!
1983-1985
This first iteration of Omega Tribe, after their proto-band Cutie Panchos (きゅうてぃぱんちょす) was scouted by Koichi Fujita after performing at the 1980 Yamaha Popular Song Contest. Omega Tribe was named by DJ Kamasami Kong!
Sugiyama Kiyotaka & Omega Tribe were produced by Koichi Fujita and Tetsuji Hayashi. While the voice is Kiyotaka's, the track instrumentals are from studio musicians. This caused some tensions within the band... つつく
