V2

V2 was the name of the duo Yoshiki and Tetsuya KOMURO that only existed for a short time. They both have a lot of experience and have been very important in the Japanese music scene, Yoshiki in the rock scene and Tetsuya KOMURO in the pop scene.

The band was formed due to the bicentenary death of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The project was held secret for a long time, but was revealed at the end of October 1991 at a press conference.

The name V2 came from the name of the first rocket that reached the moon, built in secret during WWII by the Nazis and soldiers. Perhaps not a really nice name, but they wanted to have a name that had some connection with the German nationality of Mozart.
