Japanese Kiss-type band. Their albums are produced by Kiss' Gene Simmons. Masaki Yamada(vocal, current lineup w/ Loudness ), Shoyo Iida(guitars), Taro Takahashi(bass) and Hirotsugu Honma (drums, current lineup w/ Loudness)

My Opinion

This band is the important in the japanese rock history. Because finally 2 members (vocalist and drummer) joined Loudness, the japanese legendary band. E.Z.O. sang in english and their albums was produced by Kiss' Gene Simmons!!!! Masaki's voice is quite good and his english pronouciation is not bad, compared with those japanese who try to sing in english. I have seen advertising in Guitar World magazine 4-5 years ago, E.Z.O. first album was cost 35$!! ( Thanx God to gave me the cheap one!!) Though, this band was splited for a long time but I' ve heard that all members still in music related career. (But I don't know what Shoyo and Taro doing now) Good luck for 'em all!!
