Introduction

Writing about ZARD is not any easy task since a great deal of information about the band is simply unknown by outsiders. Take for example the members of ZARD: all we know for certain is that Ms. Izumi Sakai is one of them. It is rumored that other members have left the band in an early stage. Another puzzle is ZARD’s preference for not performing on any of the popular music shows on television, except for some appearances in the beginning of their career.
