Does anyone have any information about 'Try Force', the band credited with writing and performing the music soundtrack to anime series such as 'Heat Guy J'? It's for a brief article I'm writing about this particular anime. I heard that the 'Heat Guy J' soundtrack CD came with an insert booklet that contains an interview with the band, but I'm in the UK and can't get hold of a copy to find out for myself. I'd be very grateful for any tips or clues!

Isn't their name a Zelda reference? I love the music in Heat Guy J which has a nice range to it. The bagpipe sound is really awesome. I've always like when the BGM composer also writes the main theme song since it integrates with the background music well.

Try Force is a musical group which consists of Kageyama Hironobu, Sudoh Ken'ichi, Kohno Yohgo, and Kuriyama Yoshichika.
Besides the music for Heat Guy J, works by Try Force include the music for Wandaba Style and the first OP theme for Garo, a live-action TV series directed by Amemiya Keita.
Since Try Force is closely related to JAM Project (JAM Project is a musical group specialising in anime songs. Kageyama Hironobu is a member of JAM Project, too.), Try Force is sometimes called Ura-JAM.
