Koji 1200 was the glam-influenced project of popular Japanese comedian, Koji Imada. As a comedian, Imada is probably best known for his early collaborations with legendary comedian duo, Downtown. With the Koji 1200 project, Imada found some minor mainstream success, with his biggest success being his 1995 single "Now Romantic", which reached number 30 on the Oricon charts, and stayed in the charts for nine weeks. Under the Koji 1200 alias, he released one full length album, "America Daisuki", which was acclaimed for its comedic appeal, and for its broad range of influences, which included rock, R&B, hip-hop, electronica, and straight experimental. However, in 1997, he temporarily changed his alias to Koji-12000, and released one more album under this alias, 1998's "Disgusting". However, "Disgusting" had a much less impressive run, and Imada ended up ending his music career by the break of the new millennium. He is currently an actor, and still remains one of the main staple comedians in the Yoshimoto Kogyo company (which also houses comedians like the aforementioned duo Downtown, Ninety-Nine, London Boots, 130R, Cocorico and Takashi Fujii). « hide |
