A record of the passion and freedom of the early days of Japanese rock
A session album featuring Happy End, the folk spirit and rock sensibility intertwine to open up new avenues of expression.
For Okabayashi Nobuyasu, this album marks a challenge to transcend the boundaries of folk music and strive for a "vocal revolution." The lineup, backed by the renowned Happy End, goes beyond mere accompaniment and functions as a catalyst amplifying Okabayashi's expression. The light, overlapping guitar and organ sounds, the swaying rhythm, and the sharp lyrics all combine to convey a message of "take action." His strength of will is particularly evident in tracks like "Long Journey to Freedom" and "Sexual and Cultural Revolution." While traditional folk fans may have been perplexed, this album marks Okabayashi's breakthrough as a "dynamic poet." This masterpiece, brimming with the passion and physical sensations of the era, brings back memories of the 1970s, the period when Japanese rock and folk music intersected.
