Music
Bunshun Shinsho / Group Sounds (GS) is a group composed mainly of electric guitars and electric bass. It is said to have been created under the influence of Ventures, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, and it swept the Japanese music scene from 1965 to 1969. The group names are Blue Jeans, Blue Comets, The Spiders, Golden Cups, The Tempters, The the tigers, The Carna Beet, Ox, to name a few. The lyrics and music were composed by Jun Hashimoto, Rei Nakanishi, Kunihiko Murai, Kyohei Tsutsumi, Kunihiko Suzuki, and others. This world view was enthusiastically supported by young people and became a social phenomenon. Haruo Chikata, a Akatsuki who is familiar with Group Sounds, deeply infuses into their music and discusses each group in detail. The way in which they explain their appeal is the best part of this book. As an appendix to this book, special interviews were conducted with the living witness The the tigers's Hitomi Minoru, the Golden Cups' Eddie Pan, and the composer Kunihiko Suzuki. It is full of hidden stories that will be revealed for the first time. This book will be a catalyst for the GS boom that comes once every few years.
