The name coincidence with the super typhoon that has just risen in Japan has caused the disco band to exist for four decades.

The boy band Hagibis has been in operation since 1979 and despite changing some members over time, the group retains a distinctive style with black flared pants, leather coats, button-down shirts, mustaches and other suggestive dance moves. Hagibis is famous for songs praising women's beauty like "Katawan" "(Body)," Legs "and" Babae '.

"Hagibis is indirectly gaining global fame," said Jose Parsons Nabiula, 61, who goes by the stage name Sonny Parsons and has been with the board since its inception. "It reminds people of our group's existence. Some people joke about it, others take it seriously."

Super typhoon Hagibis hit Japan's large island of Honshu on October 12, the strongest storm to hit Tokyo in six decades. The storm has left at least 35 people dead, 20 missing, dozens injured and more than 400,000 households without power.

Google Trends shows that the search rate for band and super typhoon Hagibis has skyrocketed in the past week. Hagibis means speed and power in the Tagalog language of the Philippines. Parsons said some people compared the strength of Hurricane Hagibis to his band. He hopes the attention of the people will draw the audience to the group's performances that take place twice a month in the Manila area.

In addition to singing, Parsons used to be an official and currently works as both a filmmaker and a construction worker. "Maybe in the next 1-2 months, I will get many invitations to perform," he said.

Parsons also expressed concern for the Japanese people because Super typhoon Hagibis landed just a month after another powerful storm. "Certainly everyone must suffer the devastation of Hagibis and I feel very sad about it," he said.

Although not going into the Philippines, the effects of storms still cause thunderstorms scattered in the central and southern regions of the country. The band Hagibis took advantage of the group's attention to warn Filipino citizens in Japan before the storm hit, Parsons said. He also hopes you will have a chance to come to Japan after the storm.

"We will soothe the sadness that everyone experiences," Parsons said. "If the band has a chance to come to Japan, we will help you forget the storm."
