Sparks is an invincible pop duo that continues to garner cult popularity around the world even after more than half a century since their debut. This duo, consisting of brothers Ron and Russell Mayle, has consistently created a sound world that is recognizable as Sparks, incorporating pop music from every era, from glam to power pop, electro to dance pop, and even chamber pop, since their album debut in 1971. The documentary film "Sparks Brothers" directed by Edgar Wright was also released and became a big topic.
Their popularity has been re-evaluated, and their 2013 Japan tour sold out two shows in Tokyo.
Sparks continues to influence many musicians and artists. This year, they are scheduled to release a new album, so it seems like their visit to Japan will come at a perfect time.
