Carnation (カーネーション, Kānēshon) is a Japanese rock band founded by Masahiro Naoe in 1983. During their heyday, they were dubbed "the Japanese XTC" due to their similar styles. Masahiro Naoe (then known as Masataro Naoe) formed the band Jibiinkōka (耳鼻咽喉科, lit. "Otolaryngology") in 1981. In December 1983, the band was renamed "Carnation" and released their first independent single "Yoru no Entotsu" a year later. The band released their first full album Young Wise Men in 1988. Within the same year, the band left the independent scene and signed with Tokuma Japan. The band participated in the production of J-pop idol Chisato Moritaka's 1989 album Hijitsuryokuha Sengen, which features her cover of "Yoru no Entotsu". In addition, Moritaka provided guest vocals on the band's 1991 album Elec.King. Naoe continued to contribute to Moritaka's other releases throughout the first half of the 1990s. More information...
