Barbee Boys (バービーボーイズ, Baabiibooizu) are a successful 1980s Japanese rock band.[1] The band debuted in 1984 and was popular through the 1980s, becoming the first Japanese rock band to perform at the Nippon Budokan, until disbanding in 1992. After reuniting for several short periods, the band has been continually together since 2018. The five current members are: vocalist and saxophone player KONTA (real name Atsushi Kondou); female vocalist Kyoko Sekihara; lead guitarist and songwriter Tomotaka Imamichi, who has also had a career as a songwriter for other bands; bassist and pianist ENRIQUE; and drummer Toshiaki Konuma.
