  • PYG (Pyg) was a short-lived "supergroup" from Japan, made up of members of well-known bands of the Group Sounds era: The Tempters, The Spiders and The Tigers. The spelling of "Pyg" (rather than "Pig", which was the band's original choice) was suggested by Alan Merrill, who shared the same management at the time, Watanabe Productions. Formed in 1971, the unit was fronted by two notable musicians of the era: lead singers Kenji Sawada of The Tigers and Kenichi Hagiwara of The Tempters. The musical director of the band was guitarist of The Spiders. The remaining members were on keyboards, Hiroshi Oguchi on drums, and Ittoku "Sally" Kishibe on bass. Session man , a non "Group Sounds" star, was also added to the line-up as a second drummer. The band were a seven piece ensemble on stage. The band released two albums: Original First Album (1971) and Free With Pyg (1972 live 2 album set); as well as 5 singles. (en)
  • PYG(ピッグ)は、1970年代初頭に、グループ・サウンズの「ザ・タイガース」「ザ・テンプターズ」「ザ・スパイダース」のメンバーが集結した、日本のスーパーグループ。沢田研二、萩原健一のツインボーカルを擁したロックサウンドを特徴としていたが、メンバーのソロ活動、俳優活動などが重なり、自然消滅となった。 グループ名は「豚のように蔑まれても生きてゆく」に由来する。渡辺プロダクション所属だったアラン・メリルのアイディアによって、本来のpigを「PYG」として命名した。 (ja)
