Post-disbandment
Kazuhiko Kato became a radio show presenter and a television personality in Japan. He had a successful solo career after the Sadistic Mika Band broke up; pursuing a ska direction before acquiring interest in European experimental music. Most of his solo work exploited the talents of the other former Sadistic Mika Band members and other notable guest artists such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Haruomi Hosono and Akiko Yano. He released two acoustic albums with Kōnosuke Sakazaki of The Alfee under the name Kazukoh in 2007 (Golden Hits) and 2009 (Happy End), and found time to form a new band called Vitamin-Q in 2008, releasing one album (VITAMIN-Q feat ANZA). Kato committed suicide by hanging on October 17, 2009 in Karuizawa, Kitasaku District, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
Band producer Masatoshi Hashiba also produced the popular band Vodka Collins.
Drummer Yukihiro Takahashi went on to become part of Y.M.O. (Yellow Magic Orchestra), and more recently has been working in the duo Sketch Show with his ex-YMO bandmate Haruomi Hosono. He has also acted in a number of films and TV shows, usually in comedic roles. Ray Ohara was a regular member of Takahashi's band in the 1980s and 90s.
Mika released a self-produced album in 1994, where she wrote all songs and lyrics.
Tsugutoshi Goto has released a large number of albums both solo, and as a member of various bands.
Yu Imai went on to form the group Imitation and collaborated with members of Sandii & the Sunsetz and Talking Heads. He was also the chief musical collaborator with lyricist Chris Mosdell on three of his solo albums, Equasian (also with Kazuhiko Kato), The Oracles of Distraction, and Fingerprints of the Gods - the latter being the sonic setting of the Graham Hancock book of the same title.
Masayoshi Takanaka went on to become one of the most famous guitarists in Japan. He has been releasing studio albums and touring to this day.
