I'm pretty sure Ken Watanabe has always been the Bassist for Prism, Same goes for Akira Wada on guitar, the others change from time to time but these are the real core of the group.
"Keep" is another Prism side gig

I'm a big Jun Fukamachi fan, he does the keys on some Prism albums and all over the music world, INSANE!! catalog.Maybe the jazz/funk your looking for.

Hriomasa suzuki high flying is possibly the most stacked 70's japanese album with the most A listers on a single album.Insane line up,crazy funk
