Japanese Melodic Hard Rock Band Led By Kyoji Yamamoto 山本恭司 Formed In 1984 From The Ashes Of Bow Wow. Bow Wow's 1976-84 Style Is Hard/speed Rock But Later 1984 When They Changed Name To VW They Also Changed Line-Up And Style To More Melodic And Commercial And Less 'agressive' . We Should Treat VW And BW As Two Different But Connected Bands. Now They Back To Bow Wow Name Returned To Old Lineup And Old Style.
