Vodka Collins is a Tokyo based Japanese-American rock band, formed in 1971 after the end of the Group Sounds era in Japan. A supergroup in the Japan domestic market, Vodka Collins' core band members are drummer Hiroshi Oguchi (formerly of The Tempters), singer-guitarist Alan Merrill, singer-guitarist Hiroshi "Monsieur" Kamayatsu (formerly of The Spiders) and bassist Take Yokouchi (formerly of the Four Leaves backing band, High Society). In later reunion recordings in the 1990s, Yokouchi was replaced by Masayoshi "Mabo" Kabe (formerly of The Golden Cups) on bass guitar.

All of the band's released works are original compositions by lead singer Alan Merrill. The band have made 5 albums, the most well known being the glam rock album "Tokyo - New York" released in 1973 on EMI records. Other album titles are "Chemical Reaction", "Pink Soup", "Boy's Life" and '"Boys In The Band".
