Band started by Takao Tajima originally in 1985. After releasing an album independently, he joined Pizzicato Five as lead vocalist in the spring of 1988. When he left Pizzicato Five in summer of 1990, Tajima restarted Original Love, and released his first single on a major label in 1991. Starting in 1996, Original Love became less of a regular band and more of an alias for Tajima working with various collaborators and studio musicians.
