America 1983 or Japan 2003? What do you think?

Psychic Lover is a Japanese rock duo. Yoffy (Yoshiyuki Wada, 和田 よしゆき [Wada Yoshiyuki] b. October 11, 19??, left) sings vocals while Imajo (Tatsuhiro Imajō, 今城 龍寛 [Imajō Tatsushiro] b. January 18, 19??, right), a.k.a. Joe, plays all the guitars. They provide music for many Japanese action/anime series, including Gaiking, the anime version of Witchblade, Tokusō Sentai Dekaranger and Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. They list among their inspirations such musicians as Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, George Michael, and Van Halen. Which explains a lot.

They wrote and performed three different songs for Legends of the Microns, the Japanese version of the Armada cartoon series:

Nearly two decades later, they returned to Transformers by performing EarthSpark's opening theme, "Transformers-Earthspark!!".

Transformers discography

Four different Legends of the Microns CDs featuring Psychic Lover's music were released. The two most noteworthy (to most non-Japanese fans, at least) are the two mini-CD singles of the opening and closing themes released on February 1, 2003, as each one came with an exclusive redeco of one of the Mini-Con Teams from the toyline. Each CD also contained an original song, plus instrumental versions of both.

  • Opening Theme: "Transformer ~ Dream Again" c/w "Mune Ippai no..." ("A Heart Full of...")
Came with an "anime" redeco of the Street Action Mini-Con Team.
Came with a blue-tinted redeco of the Air Defense Mini-Con Team.

A March single contained simply "Dream Again" and "Never Ending Road" and no toys. In July 2003, another single was released with the cartoon's second opening and closing songs: "Transformers ~Kōtetsu no Yūki~" ("Steel Courage") by Hideaki Takatori and Psychic Lover's "Don't Give Up!!"

In August 20, 2003, the three Psychic Lover show-themes were included in the Japanese series-spanning Theme Song Collection 2-CD set, and the Song Universe 5-CD set in August 8, 2007.
