Blind BirdZa Moppusu21rank/position
This is the debut work released in November 1967 by The Mops, known as pioneers of the psychedelic movement during the tumultuous 1960s.
Its innovative arrangement—melding heavy guitar riffs with a dreamlike sound—shocked Japan’s music scene at the time.
Drawing attention for performances featuring outlandish costumes and light shows, this piece was also included on the album “Psychedelic Sound in Japan,” spawning numerous legends.
With the April 2014 release of the complete edition “Psychedelic Sound in Japan +2,” it became available on CD, prompting a renewed appreciation of its innovation.
It’s a must-listen for those who want to explore new musical possibilities or who are interested in the history of Japanese rock.
Ha-ha-haZa Rindo & Rindāzu22rank/position
A lively pop tune by The Linds & Linders, released in August 1968, carried by a snappy rhythm and bright melody.
As one of the Kansai region’s representative Group Sounds acts, the song was featured in a popular TV commercial for Nobel Confectionery’s “Amand Kiss,” boosting its recognition even in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
As a signature number from a leading Kansai GS group, the single’s B-side includes the lyrical ballad “Four Days’ Love.” This track was later included in the January 2000 album “The Linds & Linders Meets The Youngers: Complete Singles,” winning over a new generation of fans.
Recommended for those who want to feel the spirit of the Group Sounds heyday or bask in the nostalgia of their youth.

Run, Kotaro!Sorutī Shugā25rank/position
A masterpiece packed with humor and satire, modeled after a live horse race broadcast.
Released in July 1970, Salty Sugar’s work began as a joke about a chronically late band member and blossomed into superb popular entertainment.
The production weaves in race-style narration, horse names that parody popular buzzwords of the time, and even an impersonation of Governor Minobe, resulting in uproarious comedy.
It was adapted into a Toho-distributed film in February 1971, starring Shunji Fujimura.
The song sold around one million copies and won the New Artist Award at the 12th Japan Record Awards.
It’s a perfect pick to liven up parties and drinking gatherings with friends.
