Group composed of notable Japanese musicians, but the group itself has only performed together once four years ago, never toured, never released anything, and has done nothing since. Therefore, I feel that this is a more a case of inherited notability due to individual members rather than "being composed of notable musicians"; which seems to be invoked with groups that actually release things and perform. This group barely meets criteria one of WP:BAND, and fails all others except the aforementioned notable musicians. All that being said, one performance that wasn't even in their home country, with no releases, no tour, and no set dates re: actually doing anything even when asked in repeated interviews is very much "temporary notability". It's exactly the same as say, Jimmy Page performing on tour with Paul Gilbert - it has happened, and they are notable musicians, but we don't have an entire article on the collaboration, nor should we. The prod was contested due to continued interest in the band being shown in interviews, but the context of those sources amounts to throwaway statements like "yes, we'd like to do something at some point, when we're not too busy with our other groups," in the context of larger-scale interviews, not a solid statement of intent.
