Terra Rosa was a Japanese heavy metal band formed by keyboardist Masashi "Jill" Okagaki and female vocalist Kazue Akao in Osaka in 1982. Their musical style was notably under the influence of Western metal, most notably British band Rainbow. They released three original albums and a live album before disbanding in 1992. Okagaki and Akao have reunited several times for limited reunions since 1999. Tomoyuki Hokari of Ok Music called Terra Rosa an important band in Japanese metal and hard rock. Writing for Nikkan Spa!, Sharin Yamano proposed their impact on the metal scene in Kansai is similar to that which X Japan had in the Kantō region. – Wikipedia
