Four Leaves (フォーリーブス, Fō Rībusu) was a Japanese boy band from the talent agency Johnny & Associates. Four Leaves was one of the earliest acts produced by the agency, and the four-member group first formed in 1967 and made their record debut with the single "Olivia no Shirabe" (オリビアの調べ) the following year.[1] They disbanded in 1978 due to popularity loss, but they reunited in 2002 until 2009.[1]
