P-MODEL was a Japanese Electronic/rock band started in 1979 by frontman Susumu Hirasawa. The band has included many lineup revisions over the years but Hirasawa was always at the helm of operations. P-MODEL officially disbanded in 20 December 2000 (although it had gone through various periods of inactivity, the most notorious being from 28 December 1988 to 23 November 1990 and from 11 October 1993 to 1 December 1994), although many of its members continue to release solo albums and collaborate with each other on different projects.
Hirasawa has also released solo work under the similar name 'KAKU P-MODEL', primarily the 2004 album Vistoron.
