Reichi Nakaido

**Reichi Nakaido (Chabo)**

Reichi Nakaido, better known by his nickname **Chabo**, is a legendary Japanese guitarist and singer-songwriter who carved his name into Japan’s rock history as a founding member of the iconic band **RC Succession**. With his wild stage presence, gritty vocals, and blues-infused guitar riffs, Chabo became synonymous with raw, energetic rock ’n’ roll during the band’s heyday from the 1960s through the ’90s. After RC Succession disbanded in 1991, he continued his solo career, releasing albums like *TIME* and *My R&R* that kept his signature mix of rock, punk, and soul alive. His live performances, including the fiery *GLAD ALL OVER (Live)*, still showcase his unapologetic passion for music decades into his career.

Chabo’s influence stretches far beyond his band days, with compilation albums like *CHABO’S BEST* and *PRESENT* series celebrating his solo work’s gritty charm. Whether howling through a bluesy anthem or stripping things down for heartfelt ballads (as heard in the *Heart編* side of his *BEST* collections), he remains a beloved rebel figure in Japanese rock. For fans of unfiltered, sweat-soaked rock spirit, Chabo’s music is a time capsule of pure energy.
