In 1970 , the original bass player Moriaki Wakabayashi assisted in the hijacking of Japan Airlines Flight 351 orchestrated by the Japanese Red Army . Wakabayashi has been living in North Korea since the hijacking . Mizutani was allegedly offered a role in the hijacking , but turned it down . After this event , however , a paranoid Mizutani kept a low profile due to his ties with the Red Army , which he supposedly would eventually cut ties with in the early to mid 70s to avoid government scrutiny , although it remains unknown if he was ever affiliated with the Red Army at all
